You are expressing a desire to do something.

Examples:

I wish I could write better.
I wish I could own my own business.

51. You should + (verb 1st form) + objects 

In this pattern, you are suggesting an obligation or duty that needs to take place either now or in the near future.

Examples:

52. You're supposed to + (verb 1st form) + objects

'You're' is a contraction of the words 'you are.' When using 'You're' with the words 'supposed to' you are making a suggestion that something you strongly believe ought to happen.

Examples:

You're supposed to return the movies you rent on time.
You are supposed to invite all your friends.

53.  You seem + (an adjective) + objects

When stating 'you seem' you're referring to the person you are talking to and expressing that they are giving the impression of or appear to be.
