@@viraycaptainjv8656Could you please tell me which sentence is correct 1) I wish i didn't eat chocolates like this daily 2) I wish i wouldn't eat chocolates like this daily
Hi Dan, all is clear. But, Can I say I HOPE YOU PASS YOUR EXAM instead of I HOPE YOU'LL PASS YOUR EXAM? In any case, what's the difference between them? I'd be so grateful if you answered my question.
Dear Sir , I was wondering if I might dare to ask you some question? 1) May I use wish + would to speak about something in the future or I have to use "Hope" ? 2) May I say, I would wish to see the manager instead of I wish to see the manager ? I truly love your teaching. I pay my respects to you. Taking this opportunity, wishing you and your awn family a lovely merry Christmas.
Hi Andrea. Thank you for your positive feedback. We’re happy that you find what we do useful. To answer your questions: 1) Wish + would is used to talk about an action or habit that someone does that the speaker believes can change. The action takes place in the present, not the future. If you are referring to an action which you know will happen in the future and want to express a desire that it doesn’t to another person, you would need to use ‘hope’ - for example. ‘I hope you won’t go to that party tomorrow’ However, if the person in question has a repeated habit which happens in the present, but is likely to continue into the future, then you can use wish + would. For example: ‘I wish you wouldn’t keep leaving the door open’. It’s not really the future specifically, more like using the present simple for a repeated habit i.e. He always leaves the door open (past, present and future) So, to summarise - no, I’m afraid not. If you are referring specifically to a future time use ‘hope’. 2) Saying ‘I would wish to see the manager’ is the second half of a conditional sentence (in this case 2nd conditional). It doesn’t make sense on its own and you couldn't say it to a shop assistant. The full sentence could be something like ‘If I had a problem with an item in the shop, I would wish to see the manager’. ‘I wish to see the manager’ is correct. It’s great that you are thinking about these things because it means that you are processing language, which in turn leads to better learning, so never be afraid to wonder or question - even if the answer you get back means you are wrong! That’s life! Thank you for your inquiry and a merry Christmas to you too.
So if I say I wish he came=means he never comes but I want him to come and I wish he would come=that he can come but actually he cannot? I am a little confused, in my grammar book it says in the present after I wish we put the verb in past simple, and would+bare infinitive we use when we have irritation- I wish he would stop talking, I am tired of him :)Am I right or not please?
Yes, absolutely. It shows a past regret and a wish that you could change it. We imagine that there's a lot of people around the world who wish they had eaten more fruit and veg when they were younger..!
In the English grammar book that I studied, they said that if the subject of wish is the same as the subject of the would clause, we cannot say " I wish I would ". Is the book wrong?
I wish I knew how to do magic I wish I had met you earlier I wish you would solve this question I wish i would stop texting you i wish to convey his message to you i wish for a bike i would like to wish you a happy wedding anniversary i hope you will get selected for this interview
which is correct: I wish you didn't go there OR I wish you wouldn't go there (I want another person to stay at home and not to go to the party, for example.)
For example: I never met my mother in law coz she had died long before we got married. Now in this case what it should be? a. I wish I met her. b. I wish I could meet her. c. I wish I could have met her.
We know so many rules but getting used to practicing all these rules is tough and time consuming. We always learn and study but we never use. Anyways your explanations are perfect and superb. I wish you were our English teacher. I wish I had used all these Wish forms and had been accustomed to using it. Thumbs up to you! You rock!
