⚜ Grammar Lesson ⚜

🔉 Wish 🔉

'I wish to' can mean the same as 'I want to' but it is much, much more formal and less common.

🔔 Example 🔔

➕ I wish to see the manager.
➖ I wish to make a complaint.
🆔 Bindaas English Libraries
〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰
You can also use 'wish' with a noun to 'offer good wishes'.

➕ I wish you a merry Christmas.

👉 Hence that when you want to offer good wishes using a verb, you must use 'hope' and not 'wish'.

🔔 Example 🔔

➕I wish you the best of luck.
✔️ noun

➖I hope you have the best of luck.
✔️verb

However, the main use of 'wish' is to say that we would like things to be different from what they are, that we have regrets about the present situation.

➕I wish I were with you then.
➖He wishes he could fly.
〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰
🔅 Notice that the verb tense which follows 'I wish' is 'more in the past' than the tense corresponding to its meaning.

🔔 Example 🔔

➕I never get invited to parties. I wish I got invited more.
➖I'm too emotional. I wish I were more logical.

👉 In the case of 'will' ,where 'will' means 'show willingness' we use 'would'.

🔔 Example 🔔

➕He won't help me.I wish he would help me.
➖You've eaten too much.I wish you would stop.

When you are *"busy"*,and you want to say *I'm busy*,You can use following phrases....

I'm *overwhelmed* with work..

I'm *slammed* with work lately..

I'm *juggling with* many things..

I'm *under water*

I have *got a lot on my plate*(this sentence has two meanings, One we say this sentence when we have a lot of food on our plate,And second when we have too many jobs too many works)

I have been *inundated* with complaints from customers...

*Hope it would work*
*Don't just read it,try to use these sentences in your regular routine*

🔴 I have + (past participle) 🔴

🔶Again, 'I have' shows possession or something acquired. By adding a past participle you are informing someone of a past or completed action done by you.

😊Here are some examples:

"I have done it."
"I have heard that before."
"I have driven a car."
"I have forgotten the words."
"I have read that book."
"I have eaten at that restaurant before."
"I have flown in an airplane."
"I have forgiven you."
"I have seen you before."
"I have written a letter."

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
🔴 I wanna + (verb) 🔴

🔶The word 'wanna' is incorrect grammatically. It is equivalent to 'want to.' When combined with the word 'I' it helps communicate something you want to do.

😊Here are some examples:

"I wanna talk."
"I wanna search for a job."
"I wanna order some food."
"I wanna marry her."
"I wanna listen to that song."

🛑By adding the word 'don't' you can change the meaning of what you are saying to something you 'want' to do to something you 'do not' want to do.

😊Here are some examples:

"I don't wanna talk."
"I don't wanna search for a job."
"I don't wanna marry her."
"I don't wanna listen to that song."
"I don't wanna order some food."
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
🔴 Basic Usage of I'm 🔴

🔶'I'm' is an abbreviation for the word 'I AM.' It is used in combination with other words to tell someone about yourself or to describe something you are doing.

😊Here are some examples:

"I'm so tired."
"I'm confused."
"I'm happy."
"I'm twenty three years old."
"I'm hungry."
"I'm nervous."
"I'm excited."
"I'm leaving work."
"I'm thirsty."
"I'm from America."

🔶You can also add descriptive words with 'I'm' such as:

"I'm extremely tired."
"I'm very happy."
"I'm terribly hungry."
"I'm super excited."
"I'm very nervous."
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
🔴 I'm + (verb) 🔴

🔶'I'm' is a contraction of the words 'I am.' By adding a verb to 'I'm' this lets you express an action or occurrence about yourself.

😊Here are some examples:

"I'm eating lunch."
"I'm brushing my teeth."
"I'm scared."
"I'm driving to work."
"I'm crying."
"I'm typing an email."
"I'm cooking dinner."
"I'm combing my hair."
"I'm hanging a picture."
"I'm texting."
"I'm dancing."
"I'm interested in the job."
"I'm exercising."
"I'm sad."
"I'm learning."

You can talk back to your brain. Talk back to your bad thoughts and tell them they’re wrong. Not every bad thought is a reality. Also, bad days are okay. A bad day does not equal a bad life.

🚑 *The Nurse and the Wolf*🐺

"Be quiet now," said an old Nurse to a child sitting on her lap. "If you make that noise again I will throw you to the Wolf."

Now it chanced that a Wolf was passing close under the window as this was said. So he crouched down by the side of the house and waited. "I am in good luck to-day," thought he. "It is sure to cry soon, and a daintier morsel I haven't had for many a long day." So he waited, and he waited, and he waited, till at last the child began to cry, and the Wolf came forward before the window, and looked up to the Nurse, wagging his tail. But all the Nurse did was to shut down the window and call for help, and the dogs of the house came rushing out. "Ah," said the Wolf as he galloped away,

"Enemies promises were made to be broken."
