English Vocabulary: HOPE Definition and Examples

Hello, this is Jack from tofluency.com with

an English lesson that's going to have a look at the verb

HOPE and, more specifically, when we're using this

when we desire a certain thing to happen. Now, there are different ways you

can use hope

but this is one on the ways and one of the most common ways too,

And I used this word when

I uploaded a video to Facebook, so I'm going to show you that video

and then we'll discuss the language and show you some more

examples. So, let's have a look at the video now

Hello, this is

Jack from To Fluency. The weather is amazing

and I hope it stays that way. Also, I hope that you have a wonderful weekend

speak to you soon. So, in the video I said

"The weather is amazing and I hope it stays that way

Also, I hope that you have a wonderful

weekend. So, as I said at the start the video

we use hope in this way when we desire for a certain

thing to happen. Okay, so,

I want the weather to stay nice

I also want that you have

a wonderful weekend. And it's very common to use the word hope here.

Now, let's have a look at more examples: I hope

you can make it next week. I hope you can make it next week

Now, have a look at the structure of this sentence: it's

I hope plus you plus

can, okay, now take a look at the next example

I hope that you have good

weather. I hope that you have good weather

Now, in this example, it's I hope plus that

plus you have. So,

it's quite flexible here we can use that, we don't have to use it though.

okay, so in the second example we do use it the first example

we don't. Now, the next example

is going to show you something a little bit different too: I hope to finish this

soon

So, I'm talking about a new project

I hope to finish this soon. Now, in this example we have: I hope

plus to finish, and this is because I'm talking about myself

In the first two examples, I'm talking about

other people: I hope you, I hope that you

In this last example I'm talking about myself

I hope to finish this soon. So, your challenge for this video

is to leave an example below using

hope. So, get creative and think about how you can use hope

and in a way that's related to you and your life.

So, thanks for watching and I'll see you

next time!
