I wish I could do it.
I wish I could have done that.
The second seems off.
What do generally use with wish sentences. And is there any specific title we can use to dictate sentences with wish kinda meaning?

Best Answer
Present Continuous/Past Perfect
Your focus is on the word "wish" when actually all becomes clear if you dispense with it:
"I could do it" / "I could have done it"
Both sentences are fine, and "wish" can be incorporated pretty much anywhere you wish!
