EXPRESSING HOPES & DREAMS

Hopes and dreams

Hope is something that we want to happen and we work very hard for it to happen. But we are not sure whether it will happen or not and sometimes we can’t do anything about it. Hopes and dreams signal future intentions (Ben, 2012).

The ways for expressing hopes and dreams

Untuk menyatakan hopes and dreams kita membutuhkan kata kerja hope dan wish (dream). Apa bedanya hope dengan wish? jika hope biasanya digunakan untuk mengekspresikan keinginan yang baik (goodwill), namun jika wish, merupakan hal yang mustahil bisa terjadi.


The verb ‘hope’ is to express:

  • An event that possibly happened (past)
  • A event that will possibly happen (future)

To say what you hope about the past, you use the simple past:

  • I hope she found the restaurant.
  • I hope he passed his class last semester.

To say what you hope about the present, you use the present:

  • I hope he knows where the clinic is.
  • I hope he‘s having a good time in Florida.
  • I hope he likes Italian food.

To say what you hope about the future, you use the present (or the future, although it is less common)

  • I hope he has a good time in Florida next month. (I hope he’ll have a good time in Florida next month.)
