Fine or not?

Are these fine or not, please?

If only she would share the expenses!

If only they would buy that house!

If only you would study in a private school!

If only he would get a scholarship!

If only the weather would clear up!

If only she would be more polite!

If only they would speak other languages!

If only he would get a better job!

Thanks,

Anon.
