wish / hope

[kohyoongliat]

I'm often confused by 'wish' and 'hope'.

I wish I receive the same sorts of responses later.

Should it be 'I hope to receive the same sorts of responses later' ?

I wish you a speedy recovery. (correct)

I wish you recover soon. (Is this correct?)

Or should it be 'I hope you recover soon' ?

Please give me a few examples of the usage of 'wish' and 'hope' so that I'm very clear about how both words should be used?

Thanks in advance.

In your example, I would say 'I hope I receive...'.

I wish you a speedy recovery.
I hope you a speedy recovery.

I wish you recover soon.
I hope you recover soon.

Thanks, Tdol, for the thread.

I've posted another question relating to a sentence in that thread.

All the best
