Hope and Dream

Hope is used to express something desired in the future that is possible or under the speaker's control, such as studying harder for an exam. Wish is used to express something desired but out of the speaker's control, such as a father's health. Wish can also express regret about the past or something impossible or imaginary, while hope cannot be used in those contexts. Both hope and wish can express willingness for something useful in the future.

HOPE

AND
WISH
HOPE
Example:

- I Hope that my next exam will be


Hope is used when you better than the last
expect something
possible to happen in the ( In another word, i know that i can
future, because you have make my next exam better because
a chance to make it I can study harder)
happens. - I’m Hoping that she would come
to my house
( I know that she could come if she
wants to)
WISH
Example:
- I Wish for my father’s health
You use Wish when saying ( I want my father to be healthy,
something in the future but you but i have no control to my
have no control to make it father’s health )
happens - Happy Birthday! We Wish you
all the best
( we want you to be happy
although we do not know what
will happen in your life)
• We usually use Wish followed by past form to
show regret about something in the past.
• In accordance, hope followed by past form is
used when you hesitate about something and
that bothers you.
• However, hope cannot show regrets (
Remember the word itself : hope)
Example :
• I wish my father didn’t know that I borrowed his car.
( My father already knew that I borrowed his car, and I feel guilty )
• I hope that my father didn’t know that i borrowed his car
( I doubt whether my father already knew or not, but there is a hope that he
didn’t
• I wish I turned off all the lights before I go
( I regret that I did not turn all the lights off before I go)
• I hope that I turned off all the lights before I go
( I doubt that I did not turn all the lights off, but there is a hope that I did)
• Wish is also used to express something
impossible or imaginary
• We cannot use hope for this situation (
impossible or imaginary ) because we only
hope for the future, not for the past
• Remember that we do not put our hopes on
something impossible
For example
• I wish i had one million dollar ( in fact, i don’t
have one million dollar but i’m dreaming that i
have )
• I wish I lived in London right now
( In fact , I don’t live in London right now but i’m
dreaming that I do )
• Both wish and hope can be used to express
willingness or something useful in the future
Example
• I wish you all the best
• We wish you Merry Christmas!
• I hope you will be enjoy your vacation
• Let’s hope that everything is going to be
alright.
