DIALOG 4.
There is a lot of confusion about the difference between the words “wish” and “hope”. The
word “hope” is used to talk about possible situations that we desire in the past, present or
future. The important thing to note is that these situations are POSSIBLE. For example:
The last two examples are about the future. In English, we can use the future tense or the
present tense after the word “hope” to talk about the future. Both are natural.
On the other hand, “wish” is used to talk about situations that we desire, but which are the
opposite of the current reality or which are impossible. We can use wish + past tense to talk
about our situation right now. Even though we use the past tense, we are NOT talking about
the past. For example:
I wish I had a car. (In reality, I don’t have a car now, but I want one).
I wish I didn’t have to work tomorrow. (In reality, I have to work tomorrow, but I don’t want
to).
I wish I were tall. (In reality, I’m short, but I want to be tall).
I wish I could play the piano. (In reality, I can’t play the piano, but I want to).

the past tense, e.g. "The sun was shining and the birds were singing as the elephant
came out of the jungle. The other animals were relaxing in the shade of the trees, but the
elephant moved very quickly. She was looking for her baby, and she didn't notice the
hunter who was watching her through his binoculars. When the shot rang out, she was
running towards the river..."
• to describe an unfinished action that was interrupted by another event or action, e.g. "I
was having a beautiful dream when the alarm clock rang."
• to express a change of mind: e.g. "I was going to spend the day at the beach but I've
decided to get my homework done instead."
• with 'wonder', to make a very polite request: e.g. "I was wondering if you could
baby-sit for me tonight."

Future Continuous has two different forms: "will be doing " and "be going to be doing." Unlike
Simple Future forms, Future Continuous forms are usually interchangeable.
37
FORM Future Continuous with "Will"
[will be + present participle]
Examples:
• You will be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.
• Will you be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight?
• You will not be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.
FORM Future Continuous with "Be Going To "
[am/is/are + going to be + present participle]
Examples:
• You are going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.
• Are you going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight?
• You are not going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.
REMEMBER: It is possible to use either "will" or "be going to" to create the Future Continuous
with little difference in meaning.
English, IX SMP, KURTILAS, Ganjil Use the Future Continuous to indicate that a longer action
in the future will be interrupted by a shorter action in the future. Remember this can be a real
interruption or just an interruption in time.
Examples:
• I will be watching TV when she arrives tonight.
• I will be waiting for you when your bus arrives.
• I am going to be staying at the Madison Hotel, if anything happens and you need to contact
me.
• He will be studying at the library tonight, so he will not see Jennifer when she arrives.
Notice in the examples above that the interruptions (marked in italics) are in Simple Present
rather than Simple Future. This is because the interruptions are in time clauses, and you cannot
use future tenses in time clauses.
