Hope is something that we want to happen and we work hard for it to happen.
But
Wish is usually used in the past tense, though it can be used in present tense.
It often talks about regrets or wants.
Hope and wish have very similar meanings. We use them to express our desire for
something different from how it is now. In a nutshell, hope mainly expresses a
desire that is possible or likely to happen. Wish usually expresses a desire that
is impossible or unlikely to happen. To express a future desire, hope usually takes a
simple present verb, and wish mostly follows the pattern of the second
conditional (i.e., using would and other past patterns). In the past, wish follows the
pattern of the third conditional (i.e., using had + p.p.).
