2. I hope Iwill pass the exam.( I think it is highlly likely for me to pass the exam)
what about the following examples. does it make sense to you?
I wish you to find good products. vs. I hope you to find good products.
Also, If possible, please let me know the structure using hope and wish.
Thanks in advance. |
1. Wish does not imply or indicate a negative meaning. Wish means desire.[ My desire is to pass the exam but I don`t know if I can]
Hope means expectation.
2. I wish you to find good products -- my desire is that you find...
I hope .... - I expect that/ My expectation is that you find...
Fazzu and Doris have already given some good examples.
