🔴 The difference between "wish & hope
🔸Wish is most commonly used in hypothetical (or imagined) situations:
🔷I wish that I had a dog. (I don't really have a dog, but if I did, I would be happy.)
🔷I wish (that) you were here. (Unfortunately, you're not, and I miss you.)
🔸Sometimes wish is used in greeting and expressions of goodwill:
🔷We wish you a "Merry Christmas."
🔷They wished him "Happy Birthday."
🔷Wish me luck.
🔸Hope can also be used in expressions of goodwill, but the grammar is slightly different:
🔷I hope (that) you have a Merry Christmas.
(some time in the future)
🔷I hope (that) you had a nice Birthday.
(some time in the past)
🔸 Hope can be used to specify a desired outcome. For future hopes, the possibilities remain open, but for past hopes, the outcome has usually been determined already.
🔷I hope you can come to the party on Saturday.
(future possibility)
🔷I was hoping that you would come to the party.
(but you didn't make it)
🔷I had hoped to see you at the party on Saturday.
(but I didn't)
🔷I hope to get an A on the exam.
(it is still possible)
🔸Wish and hope are also used in certain types of requests and pleasantries. In such situations, wish carries a more definite and formal tone.
🔷I wish to see the doctor.
(right now)
🔷I hope to see you again.
(anytime in the future)
