Hello guys

I wish to help anyone who wants to learn Arabic and hope I succeed in learning English.

_____________________________________________________________________

<em>There is a slight difference between the verbs 'wish' and 'hope'. </em>

<em>'Hope' is used for possible situations that we want in the past, present or future. The important thing to note is that these situations are POSSIBLE. </em>

<em>e.g:  </em>I hope you succeed in learning English.

I hope you will invite me for dinner.  <em>(these are possiblities)</em>

 

<em>'Wish' is used for situation that aren't really possible </em>right now <em>and we use 'wish + past tense' to talk about our situation right now. Although we use the past tense, we are NOT talking about the past.</em>

<em>e.g: 'I wish I had a car' : (I dont have a car right now and 'was' is in the past tense.)</em>

<em>'I wish I could fly' : (It's impossible for me to fly and 'could' is in the past tense)</em>

<em></em>

<em>I hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else. :D</em>

<em>Good luck. </em>
