Hopes and dreams

Hope is something that we want to happen and we work very hard for it to happen. But we are not sure whether it will
happen or not and sometimes we cant do anything about it. Hopes and dreams signal future intentions (Ben, 2012).

The verb hope is to express:

An event that possibly happened (past)

A event that will possibly happen (future)

To say what you hope about the past, you use the simple past:

I hope she found the restaurant.

I hope he passed his class last semester.

To say what you hope about the present, you use the present:

I hope hes all right.

I hope he knows where the clinic is.

I hope hes having a good time in Florida.

I hope he likes Italian food.

To say what you hope about the future, you use the present (or the future, although it is less common)

I hope he has a good time in Florida next month. (I hope hell have a good time in Florida next month.)

I hope she comes to see us when she passes through New York.(I hope shell come to see us when she passes
through New York.)
