HOW TO EXPRESS HOPE AND WISH

After "hope", use a clause in the present tense to talk about the future. For example,

"I hope I get a raise next week." Notice that the clause "I get a raise next week" is in the present tense. 
 
After "wish", use the simple past tense in the clause that follows. Use the special conjugation for "be" in the past: I
were, He were, She were, It were, We were, You were, They were. 

"I wish I had a good oven." (The reality is, I don't have a good oven.)

"I wish my son weren't in New York". The reality is, my son is in New York, and I will miss him.
