How i wish i can or could?

Leen A. “I wish I can” might be correct in the context where you were closing your eyes and making a wish with an expectation it would come true, for instance if you were in a fairy tale. But normally you wish for things that are unlikely, and use “could” for things that are unlikely.

Both ‘can’ and ‘ could’ are modal verbs that refer to ‘a possibility’, ‘ability’ or ‘capacity’. ‘Can’ refers to a general truth or something that has a strong possibility. ‘Could’ refers to something that has a weak possibility, or something that might happen, but not necessarily a general truth.

The verb after “wish” is one tense back, so that if you are wishing for a different present situation, the tense that follows “wish” is Past simple or past continuous. If you are wishing that a past situation was different, the tense that comes after “wish” is past perfect.

There is no difference in meaning between “can you please” and “could you please”. Although “can you please” and “could you please” mean the same thing, there could be a slight difference in interpretation because of the fact that “could” has a hypothetical meaning in other contexts and “can” has a realistic meaning.

Both are fine grammatically, but it appears that you are aiming for a relatively formal setting in which case “Could” is slightly more formal-sounding.

Can, like could and would, is used to ask a polite question, but can is only used to ask permission to do or say something (“Can I borrow your car?” “Can I get you something to drink?”). Could is the past tense of can, but it also has uses apart from that–and that is where the confusion lies.

You can use wish + would to express you are not satisfied with a present situation and to emphasize you want it to change now or in the near future. Reality: This person is annoying me. (Present continuous tense for something happening now.) Wish: I wish he would go away.
