🔉 Wish 🔉

'I wish to' can mean the same as 'I want to' but it is much, much more formal and less common.

🔔 Example 🔔

➕ I wish to see the manager.
➖ I wish to make a complaint.
🆔 @AmEnglish
〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰
You can also use 'wish' with a noun to 'offer good wishes'.

➕ I wish you a merry Christmas.

👉 Hence that when you want to offer good wishes using a verb, you must use 'hope' and not 'wish'.

🔔 Example 🔔

➕I wish you the best of luck.
✔️ noun

➖I hope you have the best of luck.
✔️verb

However, the main use of 'wish' is to say that we would like things to be different from what they are, that we have regrets about the present situation.

➕I wish I were with you then.
➖He wishes he could fly.
🆔 @AmEnglish
〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰
🔅 Notice that the verb tense which follows 'I wish' is 'more in the past' than the tense corresponding to its meaning.

🔔 Example 🔔

➕I never get invited to parties. I wish I got invited more.
➖I'm too emotional. I wish I were more logical.

👉 In the case of 'will' ,where 'will' means 'show willingness' we use 'would'.

🔔 Example 🔔

➕He won't help me.I wish he would help me.
➖You've eaten too much.I wish you would stop.

⚜ Grammar Lesson ⚜

🔉 Appositives 🔉

An appositive is a noun or a noun phrase placed next to another word to define or modify it.

🔔 Example 🔔

In the phrase "my friend Hannah," the noun "Hannah" is an appositive, which gives us more information about "my friend".
🆔 @AmEnglish
〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰
Restrictive vs. Non-Restrictive

We have two types of Appositives. Restrictive and non-restrictive.

🌸 Non-Restrictive 🌸

Non-restrictive appositives are the ones that are NOT necessary for the meaning of the sentence to be completed.

🔔 Example 🔔

"Dora, the head surgeon, has called us to meet her."

In this sentence, "the head surgeon" does not narrow down the first element "Dora", rather it provides more information about it. Non-restrictive appositives are put in between commas.

🌸 Restrictive Appositives 🌸

In a restrictive appositive, the second element limits or clarifies a word in some crucial way. For example, in the sentence "My friend Shane has brought the books." The name "Shane" tells us which friend the writer is talking about; Thus restricting the first element. Restrictive appositives don't need to be set off with a pair of commas.
🆔 @AmEnglish
〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰
☀️ EXAMPLES ☀️

👉 Canada, one of the coldest countries in the world, is very beautiful.
☑️ Non-restrictive, because without "one of the coldest countries in the world", the sentence still would be complete.

👉 The band Three Days Grace will be performing tonight.
☑️ Restrictive, because we didn't know which band would be performing until the Appositive Three Days Grace came in.
