eg he hopes that he will pass the exam
i hoped i would be able to go on study.
表示希望某人做某事,絕對不可以用hope sb to do sth,只能用hope sb that來說.
wish也有希望的意思,但是壹般是不太可能實現的事情,要用虛擬語氣.
eg i wish that the sun would rise from the west
我希望太陽從西邊升起.但這是不可能的,所以用虛擬語氣.wish的常用句型是how i wish that
eg how i wish that the dinosaurs would appear.
how i wish i could go back to yesterday
這都是不可能的事情.
wish還有祝願的意思,常用於祝福語中.這時用真實語氣
i wish you a merry christmas.
he wishes us a happy new year.
