Hello friends,

Many ESL students find it difficult to decipher the differences between hope and wish. Although

these words are similar, they are used in slightly different situations. Misuse of these words can

leave the student sounding awkward and unnatural.

Todays 10 minute lesson will look at different situations in which hope and wish could be used.

Our goal is for you to understand the differences and be able to use these words correctly in the

future.

Wish

Wish is most commonly used in hypothetical (or imagined)

situations:

I wish that I had a dog. (I dont have a dog, but I would like to have one.)

I wish (that) you were here. (Unfortunately, youre not, and I miss you.)

What do you wish you could change about the world?

Sometimes wish is used in greeting and expressions of goodwill:

We wish you a Merry Christmas.

They wished him Happy Birthday.

Wish me luck!

We can also use wish to express something that we would like to change or that we

would like to see changed.

I wish that you would clean your room more.

I wish that you would work less.

Hope

Hope can also be used in expressions of goodwill, but the grammar is slightly different:

I hope (that) you had a nice Birthday. (past)

Can you use hope in a sentence to express goodwill?

Hope can be used to specify a desired outcome. For future hopes, the possibilities

remain open, but for past hopes, the outcome has usually been determined

already.

She hoped you wouldnt find her. (but you did)

Wish and hope are also used in certain types of requests and pleasantries. In such

situations, wish carries a more definite and formal tone.

Wish is used for things we want in the present moment. Hope is used for things we want

in the future.

Hope and wish can be used in similar ways but the meanings are

different.

I wish I were thinner. (This means that I am not thin now, but I want to be thin now.)

I hope to be thinner. (This means that I am not as thin as I want to be, but I want to be thinner in

the future.)

Notice the grammar in these sentences:

I hope to be ..

She wishes she were.

She hopes to be.
