May vs Can

✅Can
The word can is used to denote ability.

👉I can whistle.
(I have the ability to whistle.)
👉Can he lift 150 kgs?
(Does he have the ability to lift 150 kgs?)

✅May
The word may is used to denote permission.

👉You may swim in this river.
(You are allowed to swim in this river.)
👉May I have a biscuit?
(Am I permitted to have a biscuit?)

✅Can for Permission (Informal Setting)

These days, the word can is used for both ability and permission, particularly in an informal setting.

👉You can swim in this river.
(You are allowed to swim in this river.)
👉Can I have a biscuit?
(Am I permitted to have a biscuit?)

✅Use May for Permission in a Formal Setting

If you have a reason to be "uber correct" (e.g., you're hosting royalty or a very pedantic grandparent), you should use may to denote permission.

👉May I leave the table?
(Am I permitted to leave the table?)

How to use wish

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

👉I wish to make a complaint.

✅You can also use 'wish' with a noun to 'offer good wishes'.

👉I wish you all the best in your new job.
👉We wish you a merry Christmas.

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

👉We wish you the best of luck.
👉We hope you have the best of luck.

✅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 was rich.
👉He wishes he lived in Paris.

✅Notice that the verb tense which follows 'I wish' is 'more in the past' than the tense corresponding to its meaning.

👉I'm too fat. I wish I was thin.
👉I never get invited to parties. I wish I got invited to parties.
👉It's raining. I wish it wasn't raining.

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

👉He won't help me. I wish he would help me.
👉You're making too much noise. I wish you would be quiet.
👉You keep interrupting me. I wish you wouldn't do that.

✅Where 'will' means a future event, we cannot use 'wish' and must use 'hope'.

👉There's a strike tomorrow. I hope some buses will still be running.
👉I hope everything will be fine in your new job.

✅In more formal English, we use the subjunctive form 'were' and not 'was' after 'wish'.

👉I wish I were taller.
👉 I wish it were Saturday today.
👉 I wish he were here.
