1. I wish for you that, with every year, you achieve all of your dreams.
[Is it grammatical? Do we have to delete 'for'?]
2. You’re supposed to let go of the past and start off new.
[Do we have to put 'the ' before 'new'?]

1. I wish for you that, with every year, you achieve all of your dreams.
[Is it grammatical? Do we have to delete 'for'?]
Yes, this sentence is grammatically correct, and you need to keep "for" in this phrasing. I'd use "reach" in place of "achieve," though.
2. You are supposed to let go of the past and start off new.
[Do we have to put 'the ' before 'new'?]
No, no need for "the" before "new."
===================================
3. I wish for you that you achieve all of your dreams.
4. I wish you that you achieve all of your dreams.
5. I wish that you achieve all of your dreams.
[Which ones are grammatical among them? Do we need to use #3 instead of #5?]
#4 is incorrect.
#s 3 and 5 are OK. #5 is better than #3.
(I'd still use "reach" rather than "achieve"!)
To determine which options are grammatically correct among sentences 3, 4, and 5, let's analyze each one:
3. I wish for you that you achieve all of your dreams.
This sentence is grammatically correct. It follows a common structure for expressing wishes or desires. The phrase "for you" is used to specify the recipient of the wish. So, this option is indeed grammatical.
4. I wish you that you achieve all of your dreams.
This sentence is not grammatically correct. It contains repetitive use of the pronoun "you." In this sentence, "you" is used both as the direct object and as the subject of the subclause. To improve this sentence, we need to remove the second "you."
5. I wish that you achieve all of your dreams.
This sentence is also grammatically correct. It is the simplest and most concise option among the three. By removing the pronoun "for," it becomes a more general wish without specifying the recipient.
So, sentences 3 and 5 are both grammatically correct options. Sentence 4 needs to be revised to eliminate the repetition of the pronoun "you."
