would like vs wish

Are both of these sentences grammatically correct?

a) I’m worried for your father’s heath. I wish he didn’t eat so much.
b) I’m worried for your father’s heath. I’d like him not to eat so much.

Thank you!

health - I think your version might be a typo :slight_smile:

Both phrases are okay.

Ooops, a romantic typo. Is there any difference in meaning between “would like” and “wish”? Cheers!

‘wish’ is possibly a stronger emotion, but ultimately the difference is slight.

Can we use " worried for" and “worried about” interchangeably specifically in the above sentences?

:slight_smile:

Yes. ‘Worried about’ is the most common expression of the two.
In practical usage, there is very little difference. Possibly:
worried for - places the focus on the health.
worried about - places the focus on the person.

I see. Thanks a lot
