Expressing Hopes and Wishes (Present & Future)

• Hope mainly expresses a desire that is possible or likely to happen. (usually used with a verb in the present or future) My classmates hope our teacher postpones/will postpone the test. (possible or likely to happen)

I hope I finish this project on time. (I’m working really hard and it’s very likely that I will)

• Wish usually expresses a desire that is impossible or unlikely to happen. (used with the past or would/could…) Susan wishes she were rich so she could buy a new car. (very unlikely or almost impossible to happen)

I wish I could speak Japanese. (but it’s really hard for me to do so / very unlikely)

N.b. If only can also be used to express wishes. If only I had enough money to buy a new phone. = I wish.

Part I. Hopes Vs. Wishes

I’ll start by explaining the difference between hopes and wishes - both functionally/communicatively and grammatically.- Then, I’ll focus more on how present/future wishes are made. So, good luck and please stay focused throughout the lesson.

Hope Vs. Wish

If wish is “reaching for the stars,” then hope is “reaching for the sky.”

Pay attention to the different contexts of hope and wish in these examples.

I hope you pass the test. (possible)

I wish I could fly. (impossible) = If only I could fly.

I hope I get to work on time. (possible)

I wish I were a millionaire. (not likely) = If only I were a millionaire.

Hope

To express that you want something to happen in the future (not wanting a situation to be different, and not implying impatience or annoyance) hope is used instead of wish.

Examples

• I hope it’s sunny tomorrow. (very likely/possible)

• I hope the students will do well in their finals . (very likely/possible)

• I hope the kids are doing well at school. (very likely/possible)

• I hope I can answer all these grammar questions. (very likely/possible)

we use HOPE when we’re talking about desired outcomes/results that are very likely to happen. (possible)

Form

Hope + Present Simple /Present continuous /Future simple or can, may, shall, be going

to … (Modals in their base forms)

Wish

We use WISH when we want a change of a circumstance or situation. In other words, when we want something to be different. (something that is very unlikely/almost impossible to happen)

Examples (If only can replace wish in the examples below)

• I wish I had a sports car. (It’s a bit hard to get a sports car given your current situation = possible but very unlikely to happen) / If only I had a sports car.

• I wish people weren’t going around spreading the virus. (This situation is hard to change since maybe most people are not following the rules/ unlikely to happen).

• I wish/If only I were rich. (But I’m not, and probably not working hard to be rich)

• I wish I didn’t have to wash my hands every 15 minutes. (a situation you have to deal with)

• I wish I could run the marathon. (But I’m usually out of breath running the shortest distances)

• I wish/If only you would be careful. (But you’re not, as usual)

Form

To form a present/future wish, use:

Wish or if only + past simple/past continuous.

I wish I were a billionaire. (But I’m not /it’s very unlikely) I wish it were raining today. (But it’s not / it’s very unlikely)

Wish or if only + could/would/might/(past forms of modals) + infinitive without to.

E. g: I wish my neighbours would stop bothering me.

N. B.

 In the examples above (wishes), the situations are related to the present time but we’re using past forms of verbs to refer to them. (the past here is unreal but it expresses a mood, noting that these situations are very difficult to change and you just have to deal with/accept them as they are)

 Notice how “were” is used instead of “was” in present wishes.

Exception: The way we use wish in some fixed expressions, like when we wish someone a happy Birthday, is different from the kind of wishes we’re targeting in this lesson.

In some contexts Wish and Hope can be interchangeable. However, Hope usually expresses

desire that is possible. Wish, on the other hand, refers to an outcome that is not likely to

happen.

Read and write definitions of the words or expressions in bold type:

‘‘Non-violence in the Civil Rights struggle has meant not relying on arms and weapons. It has meant non-cooperation with customs and laws which are institutional aspects of a regime of discrimination and enslavement’’, said Martin Luther King in his 1965 speech. He added saying ‘‘Non-violence has also meant we do not want to instil fear to others or into the society of which we are part. it has meant that we don’t seek to win victory over anyone. We seek to liberate our society and share in the self-liberation of all the people’’.

Sure that violence often brings momentary results. Nations have frequently won their independence in battle. But in spite of temporary victories , violence never brings permanent peace. It solves no social problems : it merely creates new and more complicated ones. ‘‘violence is immoral,’’ he said ‘‘It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible.’’

According to Martin Luther King, practising non-violence shows that we have reached a superior level, that we have escaped the blind fear that arouses panic and violence. Non- violence, for him, requires courage and self-denial. Martin Luther King exposes how useless and harmful violence is. It is impractical and immoral because it develops hatred and ends in destruction for all. He pointed out that violence has come to be taken for granted as a means of solving problems. Yet, violence engenders even more violence, and it will never bring permanent peace. He also declared that we have to exchange ideas and opinions in peaceful dialogues. We have to set an atmosphere of understanding and tolerance; an atmosphere of brotherhood and love.
