Example: I hope you have a great day.
-Wish untuk mengungkapkan sesuatu yang kita inginkan , akan tetapi secara realitasnya itu “TIDAK MUNGKIN” terjadi. Or sometimes wish is used in greeting and expressions of goodwill.
I wish I had 3 Cars, Lamborghini. (In reality, I don’t have 3 Cars Lamborghini now, but I want 3 Cars Lamborghini).
C. Pattern
- Wish Patterns:
1. Wish + Past Tense
Ketika kita menggunakan Wish + Past Tense, meaningnya bukan membicarakan peristiwa masa lalu, akan tetapi konteknya Wishing. Kita boleh menggunakan semua jenis past tense baik simple, continuous, future dan perfect.
Exampe: I wish I could play the piano
(In reality, I cannot play piano, but I want to)
2. Wish + Past Perfect Tense
Pattern ini, kita menggunakannya untuk membicarakan atau menulis sesuatu penyesalah yang kita miliki dari masa lalu.
Example: I wish I had not gone to the party.
(In reality, I went to the party, and now I regret it)
3. Wish + Would (not) + Infinitive
Pattern ini digunakan untuk membicarakan tentang kejadian atau situasi yang sering terjadi dalam hidup kita dan kita tidak menyukainya.

6. Wish + Object + to Infinitive
Example: I wish these students to leave from my class.
7. Wish + Somebody + Something
This is used mostly in set phrases.

- Hope Patterns:
We usually need to use '(that) + clause' after 'hope' or 'to + infinitive'.
Example: I hope that you have a great time.
We can also use two short answers: 'I hope so' and 'I hope not'.
1. Hope + Simple Present Tense
Example: I hope (that) It is sunny where you are.
2. Hope + Present Continuous
Example: I hope that Dea is having a wonderful time.
3. Hope + Present Future
Example: I hope that Siti will come to the school tomorrow.
4. Hope + Can
Example: I hope Mr Nino can come to the class tomorrow.
5. Hope + to Infinitive
Means likely “CAN”
Example: I hope to come to the class tomorrow = I hope I can come to the class tomorrow
6. Hope + Past tense
We use this pattern to talk about the past and it was possible for the thing to really happen.
Example: I hope she passed the exam.
I hoped you would pass the exam. (But you didn't pass).
7. Hope for negative wishes
It's also possible to use 'hope' in a very negative way. In this case, the thing doesn't need to be possible.
Example: I hope your hair falls out and you lose all your money!
