Perbedaan Penggunaan Hope And Wish
I Hope
‘I Hope’ : is used when there is a good
chance of something happening. It is not impossible nor hypothetical.
So, there is ‘hope’ for something that we wish to happen, even though
chances may be less.
Example : I hope this is the last mistake. (you say ‘hope’ because there is a chance of improvement).
This is the present tense.
Example : I hope Maria
got home safely last night. (generally, we do not use ‘hope’ to talk
about the past, unless you do not what exactly happened, so you just
‘hope’ she reached safely)
Example : I hope it
stops raining. (probably, it’s raining now and you hope it would stop
after two hours. Even though you hope for a action to take place in the
future, do not use ‘will’. I hope it will stop raining – is incorrect)
I Wish
‘I Wish’ : is used when we talk about
unreal or hypothetical things. There is no possibility of such things
happening. So, there is no ‘hope’, it is just wishful thinking. The verb
used in this expression is always in the ‘past form’.
Example : I wish you were here with me. (though you wish it in the present, the verb ‘were’ is in the past form.)
Example : I wish you had told me the
truth. (this is a past tense sentence. The time has gone by, you can’t
go back in time and know the truth. So, to express that you wish
something that happened in the past, use the past perfect tense – ‘had
told’)
Example : I wish he would learn English.
(you wish this happens in the future. Use ‘would’ followed by the verb
in its ‘present’ form to express something that you wish to happen in
the futre)
