JuanZZZ  +  189409 Fri, 27 Jan 06 01:46 PM Hi guys, I have been taught that after "I hope" you use a clause like " I go to the party". My doubt is if I can is an infinitive so I would say, " I hope to go to the party." Is that possible? JuanZZZ Joined on Wed, Jan 25 2006 Lima Full Member 169 Clauses

	komountain  +  189639 Fri, 27 Jan 06 07:42 PM The verb 'hope' is a bit tricky for learners. It can take structures such as: S + hope that S + V... and S + hope to V... but it cannot take S + hope someone to V... So, you cannot say, "I hope you to get well soon," or "I hoped him to pass the test, but he didn't." komountain Joined on Mon, Nov 8 2004 Full Member 269 Verbs
