Yes, you are right about "I hope he succeeds", but #2 is not correct. You could say "I wish he had succeeded".-NOT A TEACHER-
1.
I will make it happen, not happens.
You should let it happen, not happens.
2.
I wish he succeeded, not succeeds nor succeed.
I hope he succeeds. ( That's more acceptable, if I got it right.)

"I wish (that)" takes subjunctive clause, which means something wouldn't happen or contrasts with the fact. So "I wish he succeeded" is grammartically correct.
- I wish (that) he succeeds. :tick: <but the semantics seem awkward to me; shouldn't it be 'I hope'?>
- I wish (that) he succeed. :cross:

Sorry, I am confused about that had. Does "I wish he succeeded" work for you?Yes, you are right about "I hope he succeeds", but #2 is not correct. You could say "I wish he had succeeded".
No, it doesn't.Sorry, I am confused about that had. Does "I wish he succeeded" work for you?
Could you please explan further?No, it doesn't.

If you want to talk about the future, you could say "I hope he succeeds" or "I wish him success" "Succeeded" is past tense.Sorry, I am confused about that had. Does "I wish he succeeded" work for you?
Thanks, I've got it.When you use "to wish", you have to follow correct structure. To wish + past simple is used when you want a situation in the present to be different.
I wish I was talented.
I wish you were here.
In the example, "I wish I had succeeded." we used the structure to wish + past participle because we're talking about a situation in the past the we want to be different.

Thanks, bhaisahab,If you want to talk about the future, you could say "I hope he succeeds" or "I wish him success" "Succeeded" is past tense.
No, "I wish he succeeded" is simply wrong in any context. I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to express, but perhaps you mean "I wish he hadn't succeeded" or "I hope he doesn't succeed"(in the new job).Thanks, bhaisahab,
If I assume that he is my competitor at office; one day he is promoted to a position at a higher level, but I am jealous of his promotion, can I say: I wish he succeeded? I just try to express something I hope wouldn't happen in future.
