Aren't they ready yet? I wish they'd hurry up / hurried up.
What is the real difference between "would hurry up" and "hurried up" in the conversation above. My grammar book says that "would hurry up" is correct because we often use "I wish...would" to complain about a situation. What if I'm not annoyed that they're not ready yet and I'm simply asking. Just out of curiosity. Thus, I don't want to show any annoyance. Is it OK to go for "hurried up" in this case?
