How to use the verb 'hope' to talk about the present and the future

Описание: We use 'hope' to talk about things in the present or future that we think might really happen or are really happening.


We use '(that) + clause' when we use 'hope' to talk about the present. The clause is in the present simple (mostly for stative verbs) or the present continuous.
I hope (that) it's sunny where you are.
I hope (that) she's having a wonderful time.


We can use '(that) + clause with either the present simple (more common) or the future simple (less common). It usually doesn't change the meaning.

I hope (that) she comes to the party tomorrow.
I hope (that) she'll come to the party tomorrow.


We can also use 'to + infinitive' with 'hope' for the future. When we use 'to + infinitive', the subject is the same as the subject of 'hope'.

I hope to come to the party tomorrow. (= I hope that I can come to the party tomorrow.)
I hope to run a marathon this year. (= I hope that I can run a marathon this year.)


Let's review!
Make a sentence with 'hope'. You hope that all these things are true / will be true. Start every sentence with 'I hope' and use 'to + infinitive' if it's possible.

1. Carla might be on the beach now.
2. We might be in the right place.
3. I might go to the party tomorrow.
