The Difference between Words: Wish and Hope

There is a lot of confusion about the difference between the words “wish” and “hope”. The
word “hope” is used to talk about possible situations that we desire in the past, present or
future. The important thing to note is that these situations are POSSIBLE. For example:

I hope you had a good time at the party last night.

I haven’t looked outside yet. I hope it’s not raining.

I hope my boss will give me a promotion this year.

I hope my boss gives me a promotion this year.

The last two examples are about the future. In English, we can use the future tense or the
present tense after the word “hope” to talk about the future. Both are natural.

On the other hand, “wish” is used to talk about situations that we desire, but which are the
opposite of the current reality or which are impossible. We can use wish + past tense to talk
about our situation right now. Even though we use the past tense, we are NOT talking about
the past. For example:

I wish I had a car. (In reality, I don’t have a car now, but I want one).

I wish I didn’t have to work tomorrow. (In reality, I have to work tomorrow, but I don’t want
to).
 I wish I were tall. (In reality, I’m short, but I want to be tall).

I wish I could play the piano. (In reality, I can’t play the piano, but I want to).

EXPRESSION OF SHOWING OBLIGATION

There are several ways to express obligation in English.

• must
• need to
• It is necessary to
• have to
• have got to
• I am obligated/obliged to . . . . .
• It is obligatory to

Note that each of these, except must, is followed by “to” and an infinitive verb. Also note that
you will have to conjugate have and need to the appropriate form. Though all of these are used,
must, need to, and have to are the most common. Notice several expressions of obligations that
were used:

• Everyone in the U.S.A. must file their taxes with the Internal Revenue Service (or IRS)
by this date.
 • ...we have two weeks more before we have to file and pay our taxes.
• If you have to file through the mail, you will still probably need to print your tax forms from
the IRS website.

Writing questions that express obligation:

• Do you need to file taxes in Canada and the U.S.?

• When do I need to complete my tax return?
• You don’t have to file electronically, do you?

Examples in the past:

• Last year, she had to file her taxes early.

15
English, IX SMP, KURTILAS, Ganjil • I did not have to use a professional accountant to file
my taxes.
• We needed to keep our receipts for our purchases as proof.
• They did not need to pay any additional taxes.

Examples in the future:

• Next year, I will need to file taxes again.

• She will have to use different tax forms.
• Will we have to file in the U.S. next year?

PAST CONTINUOUS TENSE

The past continuous describes actions or events in a time before now, which began in the
past and is still going on at the time of speaking. In other words, it expresses an unfinished
or incomplete action in the past.

It is used:
 34
English, IX SMP, KURTILAS, Ganjil • Often, to describe the background in a story written in
the past tense, e.g. "The sun was shining and the birds were singing as the elephant
came out of the jungle. The other animals were relaxing in the shade of the trees, but the
elephant moved very quickly. She was looking for her baby, and she didn't notice the
hunter who was watching her through his binoculars. When the shot rang out, she was
running towards the river..."
• to describe an unfinished action that was interrupted by another event or action, e.g. "I
was having a beautiful dream when the alarm clock rang."
• to express a change of mind: e.g. "I was going to spend the day at the beach but I've
decided to get my homework done instead."
• with 'wonder', to make a very polite request: e.g. "I was wondering if you could
baby-sit for me tonight."

Forming the Past continuous

The past continuous of any verb is composed of two parts : the past tense of the verb "to be"
(was/were), and the base of the main verb +ing.

Subject was/were base + ing

FUTURE CONTINUOUS TENSE

Future Continuous has two different forms: "will be doing " and "be going to be doing." Unlike
Simple Future forms, Future Continuous forms are usually interchangeable.

37
FORM Future Continuous with "Will"
[will be + present participle]
Examples:
• You will be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.
• Will you be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight?
• You will not be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.
FORM Future Continuous with "Be Going To "
[am/is/are + going to be + present participle]
Examples:
• You are going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.
• Are you going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight?
• You are not going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.
REMEMBER: It is possible to use either "will" or "be going to" to create the Future Continuous
with little difference in meaning.
English, IX SMP, KURTILAS, Ganjil Use the Future Continuous to indicate that a longer action
in the future will be interrupted by a shorter action in the future. Remember this can be a real
interruption or just an interruption in time.
Examples:
• I will be watching TV when she arrives tonight.
• I will be waiting for you when your bus arrives.
• I am going to be staying at the Madison Hotel, if anything happens and you need to contact
me.
• He will be studying at the library tonight, so he will not see Jennifer when she arrives.
Notice in the examples above that the interruptions (marked in italics) are in Simple Present
rather than Simple Future. This is because the interruptions are in time clauses, and you cannot
use future tenses in time clauses.
