[Grammar] Hope and wish as modal verbs

I have recently seen on wiki that we can use wish and hope with to as modal verbs.

For example:I wish to complete something like this by night.
I hope to get your love.


Thanks for help.

Could you give the link? And what is the question?

Some other English verbs express modality although they are not modal verbs because they are not auxiliaries, including want, wish, hope, and like. All of these differ from the modals in English (with the disputed exception of ought (to)) in that the associated main verb takes its long infinitive form with the particle to rather than its short form without to, and in that they are fully conjugated.

Can we really use them as modal verbs?

I think your question is actually, "Can we call them modal verbs?" The article is quite clear in listing the traditional verbs that called 'modal' in English. And it also shows how to used them.

About the other verbs, here are some phrases it uses:
"behave like modal auxiliaries to a large extent" ;
"can be viewed as modal verbs insofar as they clearly express modality in the same way that the verbs in this list do, e.g. appear, have to, seem, etc. In the strict sense, though, these other verbs do not qualify as modal verbs in English because they do not allow subject-auxiliary inversion", etc.

I don't call them modal verbs. They are auxiliary verbs that have some qualities of modal verbs.
Did you have a question about their usage?

Yes,Raymott,I do have questions about their usage esp when they appear to have the same effect as modal verb.

Good. What are those questions?

Possibly can have an effect similar to a modal verb, but that doesn't make it one.
