أقدم لكم هذا الشرح لآستاذة أمريكية للفرق
بين I wish و I hope .
أرجو أن يعجبكم وتستفيدوا منه.
In general, “I wish” is used to refer to
something that is not possible, that is
unreal, that is hypothetical
For example, if you are not rich, you might say
1) I wish I were rich
If you are sorry that you said bad things, you might say
2) I wish I hadn’t said those bad things
If you want something to happen, but you don’t
think it will, you might say
3) I wish my boss would stop giving me so much work
_______
On the other hand, “I hope” is used to refer
to something that is possible
You might say
1a) I got a new job! I hope I will be rich one
day / I hope I am rich one day
2a) I said bad things. I hope that John was not
offended by my words. I didn’t mean them
3a) My boss often gives me too much work. I
hope he doesn’t give me any more work to do
over the weekend
