Hello
Please guide me with this sentence
The correct answer is as marked by the page (A) ?
Now I really wish...
a. I hadn't chosen that course. ✔️
b. I wouldn't choose that course.
c. I didn't choose that course.
I astonished how using ( Now ) and followed it by a past perfect
I know it conveys ( regret ) about past events
Does it really mean (He feels now regretted about that course he had not chosen in the past ) OR how ?
Is it correct to use ( Now ) at the beginning of a sentence carrying regret about past events ?
