HOW TO USE HOPE AND WISH (GRAMMAR)
Like I mentioned in the video, we use HOPE when we’re talking about desired outcomes/results.
We use WISH when we want a change of circumstance. When we want something to be different.
BONUS TIP
Think of using hope with the 1st conditional. For example: I hope it doesn’t rain, but if it does, then we’ll just do something else.
Think of using wish with the 2nd conditional. For example: I wish I had more money. If I did, I would get that new car without thinking.
Think of using wish (in the past) with the 3rd conditional. For example: I wish I had planted different types of trees. If we had done that, we would have had a lot of different apples last summer.
