Hi newbie.
"I wish you will have..." is a true conditional sentence. I think this is a letter so the writer have a wish for his friend.

The latter is "I wish you will be happy", not "I wish be happy". He write for friend not for himself.

Are you ok? Tell me what do you think?

Hì, the first, I'm sure of using would. You can't use the simple tense.

The latter : "I wish you would be happy" is different from "I wish to be happy (wish + infinitive; NOT bare infinitive). That's right.

-> I wish you would have a great day, be happy and pass the exam well.

Can you make a difference between the followings sentences ?

I wish you would have a good trip, successful in your study.

I wish you woul have a good trip, be sucessful in your study.

The first is wrong because of lack of be. The last is right. But you can say like this "I would you would be happy and healthy (without be)"

Be is a verb.

Do you agree with me on that ?

Right. You were right. I've had a review of grammar "Wish". I will paste here for you.
Wish + Past simple/ Past continuous.
This is used to express wishes about present situations or states. These constructions are often used to show dissatisfaction or a desire for things to be different.
1, It can refer to situations or states that cannot possibly change. (presence)
            I wish it didn't have such big feet
            I wish I wasn't the oldest child in my family.
2, It can also refer to situations which could possibly change in the future.
            I wish I had enough money to buy an Armani shirt.
            I wish you were coming on holiday with us.

The latter : "I wish you would be happy" is different from "I wish to be happy (wish + infinitive; NOT bare infinitive). That's right.

I don't know the structure of "I wish to be happy" yet, but I think you were right again Smile [:)]

. I will find it out soon.

"Be" is a verb. Right. You were right again.
Great. Nice to meet you guy.

"Finally, I wish you would have a good business to get more money, be always sweet with your boyfriend and be happy."

Hi again, Newbie 2007 and anonymous.
I've thought of this sentence much. And I found out some things. In this sentence, I thought the writer wanted to give a wish for his friend, so they can happen in furture. Should we use "hope" instead of wish? Let me try:
Finanly, I hope you have a good business to get more money, be always sweet with your boy friend and be happy.

Are you ok, guy? Check it and tell me what do you think?
