HOPE AND WISH
In English we use two verbs that express a desire, but one refers to situations that are possible to happen in the present or future, while the other one refers to things that can't change, mostly about the past:
🟠 Hope: To express something is very possible to happen.
🟠 Wish: To express something is impossible (not likely) to happen. (Never use present simple tense for the clause after "wish" ).
👉🏻 She HOPES she CAN FIND a new house before the end of the year. (It's still possible for this to happen).
👉🏻 He WISHES he HAD TOLD his wife the truth. (It's too late to change something about the past).

REPORTED SPEECH: Reporting advice
When using #ReportedSpeech, we use reporting verbs that follow certain patterns.
In the case of SAY, TELL, SUGGEST, and RECOMMEND, they have specific structures:
⚠️ When we use SAY, we say SOMETHING TO SOMEONE. It's not necessary to mention that someone, but if we do, we need to use TO and then a noun or an object pronoun.
⚠️ When we use TELL, we tell SOMEONE SOMETHING. We always have to mention that someone using an object pronoun or a noun. The same happens with the verb ADVISE.
⚠️ In the case of SUGGEST and RECOMMEND, we can use these patterns:
➡️ SUGGEST/ RECOMMEND + noun...
➡️ SUGGEST/ RECOMMEND + verb(ing)...
➡️ SUGGEST/ RECOMMEND + THAT + pronoun/noun + verb(base form)...
But what if we needed to say the opposite, let's say, using the negative form?
⚠️ With TELL and ADVISE, we use the NEGATIVE INFINITIVE:
👉🏼 The teacher TOLD US NOT TO LEAVE earlier.
⚠️ With SUGGEST and RECOMMEND, we use the NEGATIVE GERUND:
👉🏼 The doctor SUGGESTED/ RECOMMENDED NOT EATING junk food.
And the same happens to all the infinitives and gerunds that need to be turned into a negative form.
