Hi Maria, I think hope is a wish that something happens, it doesn't mean that it will. 😉

I wish he came. But i don't know if he will. More negative . Uncertain. I hope I will get the surgery in a few months' time. The queuing up normally take a longer while . Still a positive result. ? That's how I learnt it... straight A's. Fair . Ok.

I once heard that hope means that something is going to happen sometimes in the future , in that the aim to succeed lies in our own hands.

My pleasure! 😇

You’re welcome 😊

Hi, both sentences are correct but the first one is referring to a holiday you have already been on and the second is for a holiday you have not been on yet. I hope that helps.

Thanks 🙏🏼

Great use of « I wish » Emeterio! 😀

I wish you more subscribers! 😊

I do try! But there are a lot of comments!

Great glad you liked it too 😀

thanks a lot, Madam. I have trouble understanding these types of English sentences, as in, this Communicative approach to learning English is familiar to the students of classes 11.like this, I have found many English sentences writing these ways. if you have some time please make a video on this topic.

My pleasure 👍 thanks for the positive feedback.

Hi Hugo, I think you could say either, "I hope he passed the exam," or "I hope he has passed the exam." It is a choice between the past simple and the present perfect and it really depends on the viewpoint of the speaker. My first instinct was to use the past simple as it is a completed action in the past. However, if you want to convey a connection or result in the present. The third sentence doesn't work as its the past perfect which is used to represent an earlier past and here we don't have another action that it precedes. Hope that helps! 🙏

@@oxfordenglishnow HI MADAM: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT HAS BEEN VERY NICE OF YOU. AS I'M NOT A NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER, MY EAR DOES NOT HELP ME TO CHOOSE A CORRECT OPTION, SO I HAVE TO "STICK" TO GRAMMAR RULES. BUT SOMETIMES THIS IS NOT ENOUGH. AS IN THIS CASE, YOUR CLASSES ARE EXCELLENT. I FOLLOW YOUR CHANNEL. I LOVE YOUR EXPLANATIONS AND WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT IS THAT YOU ARE A NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER. IT IS SUPER IMPORTANT FOR ME. I HOPE YOU GO ON WITH NEW CLASSES. HAVE A NICE DAY. GREETINGS FROM BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA.

@@hugooscarbanchieri4019 Hi Hugo, Thanks for your great comments. Everyone has to stick to grammar rules when learning a language. The more you hear, read and speak a language the more it will become a question of what sounds right. But the rules do help too! Keep learning and keep positive! 🙏

You can do it! Just keep practising!

Yeh! Well done 👍 you’ve got it!

thank you! 🙏🏻 ❤️

my pleasure!

My pleasure!

Hi Ritu, For your question, the first sentence is correct: "The party was great: I wish you had been there." For your second question you can use was able to. You would say: "I wish I was able to help you," for a present regret or "I wish I had been able to help you," for a past regret. Hope that helps. Best

@@oxfordenglishnow thank u so much for replying ma'am

Keep learning and it will improve every day !

Thanks 🙏

Thank you Joaquin 🙏

Thank you Giuseppe for the positive feedback. I will also try to speak more slowly in the future. It is very important! Thanks 🙏🏼

Hi Glont, you can say, I wish I had gone to the concert. You didn't go but you regret it. Hope that helps!

Hi Sayali, You would say: How many marks did u score in ur exam? or What did u score in ur exam? Hope that helps. 😊

@@oxfordenglishnow Ok.. Thank you mam

Great sentences! Well done!

Hi Oscar, In the first sentence it is an unreal situation, you don't have more free time in the present, so you use the past simple. Whereas, wish + would is for something you find annoying and something you don't expect to happen. Or it can be used to complain about a situation. Also wish and would is only for things you can't change, whereas in the first sentence maybe you could get more free time. I would suggest you watch the video again to help you understand. I hope that helps!

@@oxfordenglishnow Thank you very much for your reply and your thorough explanation. Now I understand this matter. The "problem" is that, after watching the video again, a new question has arisen in my head: It is clear that you can use wish + would to talk about bothering things in the present but, can you use wish + would to talk about future situations? Example: I have plan to to plan tennis tomorrow morning. I have just checked the weather forecast and it says it will rain. Therefore, "I wish it wouldn't rain tomorrow morning" sounds reasonable to me. I find this situation annoying and I don't expect it to change, as the weather forecast for the next day is quite accurate. Nonetheless, I think I could also say "I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow morning", asI feel that the verb hope is more appropriate to talk about things we want to happen in the future. Am I overthinking? :P

Hi Tuoi, I wish Tom could have caught Jerry. I hope that helps!

Hi Ruan, Thanks for the positive feedback. I wished her "Happy Birthday." I'm not happy at my current university. If only i could have gone to that other university. Just a few small changes, well done!

Hi, you can say, I wish you had listened to me, which is about a past regret, you didn’t listen. I wish you would listen to me is a wish about the present and future, I wish you would listen now… and you don’t. Hope that helps ! 🙏🏼

Sure, when is a good time for you?

I can talk to you at 2p.m (14:00) from your time zone.i hope this helps me improve my English.

Can we make during the week? Sorry.

I am ready to talk to you when you are available during the week.

During the other time I am at school.if you don't mind my asking what time of the day are you available?

Hi Gaurav, yes they mean the same and can be used interchangeably. However, it seems more natural to say, "I wish I did that." Hope that helps!

@@oxfordenglishnowyes now i got it. Thank you very very much ma'am for replying me !!

She shouldn't smoke. (wish)

Well, you could say, " Should you wish to......"

No you shouldn't!

Hi Sanaya, you could say, “I wish I was a teacher”. Regret in present. Or “I wish I could be a teacher.”

@@oxfordenglishnow can u plz check this sentence is correct or not sentence is its been 1 month to us came back from mumbai?

Hi Sanaya, I think you want to say, “It’s been one month since we came back from Mumbai.” 😀
