an English lesson that's going to have a look at the verb
1
3480
3390
00:06
HOPE and, more specifically, when we're using this
2
6870
4149
00:11
when we desire a certain thing to happen. Now, there are different ways you
3
11019
4591
00:15
can use hope
4
15610
1120
00:16
but this is one on the ways and one of the most common ways too,
5
16730
3629
00:20
And I used this word when
6
20359
3701
00:24
I uploaded a video to Facebook, so I'm going to show you that video
7
24060
4389
00:28
and then we'll discuss the language and show you some more
8
28449
3681
00:32
examples. So, let's have a look at the video now
9

00:38
Hello, this is
10
38570

00:39
Jack from To Fluency. The weather is amazing
11
39240
3620
00:42
and I hope it stays that way. Also, I hope that you have a wonderful weekend
12
42860
5280
00:48
speak to you soon. So, in the video I said
13
48140
3580
00:51
"The weather is amazing and I hope it stays that way
14
51720
3880
00:55
Also, I hope that you have a wonderful
15
55600
3100
00:58
weekend. So, as I said at the start the video
16
58700
4700
01:03
we use hope in this way when we desire for a certain
17
63400
4070
01:07
thing to happen. Okay, so,
18
67470
3250
01:10
I want the weather to stay nice
19
70720
3520
01:14
I also want that you have
20
74240
3250
01:17
a wonderful weekend. And it's very common to use the word hope here.
21
77490
4450
01:21
Now, let's have a look at more examples: I hope
22
81940
5250
01:27
you can make it next week. I hope you can make it next week
23
87190
4140
01:31
Now, have a look at the structure of this sentence: it's
24
91330
3690
01:35
I hope plus you plus
25
95020
3450
01:38
can, okay, now take a look at the next example
26
98470
4660
01:43
I hope that you have good
27
103130
3280
01:46
weather. I hope that you have good weather
28
106410
3410
01:49
Now, in this example, it's I hope plus that
29
109820
3990
01:53
plus you have. So,
30
113810
3020
01:56
it's quite flexible here we can use that, we don't have to use it though.
31
116830
4580
02:01
okay, so in the second example we do use it the first example
32
121410
3580
02:04
we don't. Now, the next example
33
124990
3180
02:08
is going to show you something a little bit different too: I hope to finish this
34
128170
5240
02:13
soon
35
133410
670
02:14
So, I'm talking about a new project
36
134080
3300
02:17
I hope to finish this soon. Now, in this example we have: I hope
37
137380
4830
02:22
plus to finish, and this is because I'm talking about myself
38
142210
5250
02:27
In the first two examples, I'm talking about
39
147460
3230
02:30
other people: I hope you, I hope that you
40
150690
3500
02:34
In this last example I'm talking about myself
41
154190
3550
02:37
I hope to finish this soon. So, your challenge for this video
42
157740
5140
02:42
is to leave an example below using
43
162880
3290
02:46
hope. So, get creative and think about how you can use hope
44
166170
4380
02:50
and in a way that's related to you and your life.
45
170550
3410
02:53
So, thanks for watching and I'll see you
46
