Aubrey Carter

for my son to be an upstanding member of the community or should I be saying something else?

We had an amazing conversation about it and I'm excited to share that with you guys today.

And they're always amazing.

All of these students have such insightful questions, things that are coming up as they are building fluency or things they're learning in their course that they're taking through All Ears English.

And it's always a really, really interesting conversation.

Yeah.

So we're going through a few phrases because some phrases are best for big wishful thoughts and some are more appropriate for smaller wishes or just things that you want, right?

Exactly.

Exactly.

Or I wish for harmony in my family.

I wish for peace in the world.

Right.

These are big wishful thoughts that we use this chunk for.

I wish for.

And what does for do here, Aubrey?

Yeah, that's really what changes it.

Because if you look at these same sentences with just, I wish I had, or I wish I could, right?

You know, I wish I had a pizza right now.

I wish I could, right?

It feels more like it would lend to smaller things.
