I wish i could spend vs I wish i could spent

The correct phrase to use is "I wish I could spend." The verb "spend" should be in the base form after the modal verb "could." The incorrect phrase "I wish I could spent" uses the past participle form of the verb, which isn't appropriate in this context.
