رد: What is ,,,
Use ‘hope’ when there is hope (a chance) for something to happen.
Use ‘wish’ in situations, which are imagined, or hypothetical.
For example: You ____ you will pass the exam.
If we choose ''wish'': it means that you would like to pass the exam.
If we choose ''hope'': you think that you will pass the exam.
Hope does have the meaning of 'want
'.
Grammatically, after we use 'I hope' we often use a present tense with a future meaning...
I hope she likes (=will like) the flowers.
I hope the bus comes soon.
This is similar to the use of 'I bet', but with 'I hope' the speaker does not have any certainty that the future result will occur, just the desire.
Wish is most commonly used in hypothetical (or imagined) situations.
Ex: I wish I were a doctor. (This means I'm not a doctor, I would be happy if I were one)
hope that was clear and not boring sis
