4. hope/wish的用法
hope 和wish均可作动词和名词, 意为愿望, 因此常常译为“希望”。 wish一般侧重于表达不大可能实现或根本不考虑是否可能实现的愿望，因此常常译为“愿望”。 下面来分析一下它们的异同点。
★相同点：
1. 表示“想、希望”，均可接动词不定式作宾语。如：
I hope/ wish to come tomorrow. 我希望/但愿明天能来。
2. 均可与for 连用。如：
Let’s hope for the best. 让我们尽量往好处想。
He wishes for a dictionary. 他想得到一本词典。
★ 不同点：
1.hope 后面接宾语从句, 常常表示很有把握实现的愿望。
wish后面接宾语从句，常常表示一种不能实现的或很难实现的愿望。
如: I hope she won’t come this evening. 我希望她今晚别来。
I wish I could fly to the moon. 我真想飞上月球。
2. hope后不能跟动词不定式(短语)作宾补。wish 可以，形成了wish sb. to do sth.结构。 如: The teacher wishes his students to come here. 这位老师希望他的学生们来这里。
3. wish可以有wish sb. + adj.结构，而hope则没有此结构。如：
I wish you happy. 我祝你们幸福。
4. 作简略回答时，hope 后可以用替代词so或not，而wish则不可以。如：
—Will it be sunny tomorrow? 明天会是晴天吗？
—I hope so. 我希望是。/I hope not.我希望不是。
5. 作名词时，hope多用于“希望”。wish多用于“祝愿语”，且多用复数形式。 如：He didn’t give up his hope. 他没有放弃希望。
Best wishes to you! 致以良好的祝愿!
III 语法
1、掌握表计划、打算等句型的用法：plan to, want to, wish to, hope to和would like to
1）plan, want, wish, hope和would like这五个动词都是表示“计划、意愿或愿望”的动词，它们的后面常常接“to + 动词原形”结构，此结构叫“动词不定式”，这里的to没有词义
a) The girl wants to buy a new dress. b) I plan to go to London.
2）当句中有两个不定式并列使用时，通常只在第一个动词前加to, 后面不定式中的to常常省
略.
a) I wish to go there and take pictures.(省略了take前的to)
3）“It + be + 形容词+动词不定式”，it在句中作形式主语，不定式作真正的主语。
a) It is very expensive to travel there by plane.= To travel there by plane is very expensive
坐火车去那里很贵
2、学习祈使句的用法
祈使句表示请求、命令、建议等，句子通常不带主语，谓语动词用原形，朗读时读降调。
1）祈使句有肯定、否定之分。肯定形式一般以动词原形开头，其否定形式是在谓语动词前加
don’t
如： Put them away, please. Be careful.
Don’t put them here. Don’t be late for school.
2) 以let开头的祈使句常表示建议做某事。
其否定形式常为：Don’t let sb. do„或Let sb. not do„
如： Let him do that. Don’t let him do that.
Let’s go. Let’s not go.
3、特殊疑问句形式及回答
1. 特殊疑问句词+was/ were+主语+其他
如:---How was your weekend, Jim?吉姆，周末过的如何？
--- It was great. 好极了。
2. 特殊疑问此+ did+主语+动词原形+其他？
如： ---Where did you go yesterday? 昨天你们去哪儿了？
---We went to the zoo. 我们去动物园了。
注意： 如果特殊疑问句词作主语，其语序和陈述句相同。
如： Who was at home just now? 刚才谁在家？
How many children played basketball last Saturday? 上周六多少个孩子打篮球？
