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).
C. Expression of Praising/ Complementing

Compliment is an expression that we show or say to express/give praise. Some people use
compliments to “butter up” somebody or to flatter in order to increase good will, for
example :
 on his/her general appearance
 if you notice something new about the person’s appearance
 when you visit someone’s house for the first time
 when other people do their best
Examples of Complimenting:
 What a nice dress!
 You look great.
 You look very nice/beautiful/handsome.
 I really must express my admiration for your dance.
 Good grades!
 Excellent!
 Nice work!
 You really look great!
 What a charming hat!
 That’s fantastic!
 Terrific. Well done!
 What a charming shirts!
 That’s a very nice jacket!
 You look very nice.
 I like your new hair style!
 You’re terrific.
 You are fantastic.
