62. How to Use "Hope"

A lot of students get confused between the Verbs Hope and Wish.
Today I'm going to tackle a few ways you can use the verb Hope in
English in the Future, Present and Past.


Students can use Hope a lot when talking about the future and
present but less so in the past. It's actually a really common
verb and use a lot in business English when writing emails, so it
is a good thing to have a command of.


I also show you a way you might hear Hope used to give
insults! 


The sentence structures cover these things in Spanish Espero que
+ subjunctive in past, Espera que hayas + past participle,
Esperaba que + subjunctive in past.


I hope you enjoy this episode (see! we use it all the time)
