I appreciate you~ One more question
I was wondering about the usage between hope and wish.
If I speak like this: Is this expression wrong or weird?
B: Too bad. I wish you feel better./ I wish you get well soon.

Hello ljswave.

I'd say "Too bad. I wish you felt better. I wish you got well soon or I wish you'd get well soon."

NugsoI wish you got well soon
This one is wrong. You need 'hope ...get'. I hope you get well soon.
NugsoI wish you'd get well soon.
This one is correct but inappropriate. It shows impatience that the listener is not getting well fast enough to suit the speaker. The pattern "I wish you'd" is more appropriate for nagging.

Hello CalifJim.

Thank you for correcting me. I was just trying to correct the tense. I wish I had paid more attention to the sentence itself.

NugsoIs the use of heed-ed correct?
No. 'heed' is rarely used, and it takes an object.

If I had heeded his advice ~ If I had [ paid attention to / taken ] his advice

I don't think I've heard anyone use the verb 'heed' in the last 10 years!

Uh-oh. I don't know why but for some reason I usually use old-fashioned words. Emotion: zip it!

Thank you again, CalifJim!

whatchadoinDo all these imply the future?
Well, getting a new suit certainly implies 'in the future'.

The others are all wishes for a change from the present state of affairs, and the change would have to take place in the future, of course.

So, yes, all imply the future.
