Please, I'd like to know if this sentence is correct :

- when the dream that you wish comes true



Thanks

Lilian

Hmmm, not quite...

The normal English would be simply:

"When your dream comes true."

If you want to use "wish", you'd have to say "wish for", but it still sounds odd, because you don't wish for a dream, you already have it!

You could say;

"When the thing you wish for happens", but the first example is more natural.

Hope helps,
Ian
