dupond is on a distinguished road
I think most times I use the phrase "I had hoped that" it would be to talk about something I had hoped for and it didn't end up happening. In that case, would the past subjunctive and conditional be interchangeable?

In the case where the thing you had hope for does end up happening, would "Tenía la esperanza de que + the imperfect subjunctive" translate as "I was hoping"?

E.g. Does "Tenía la esperanza de que lo dijeras" translate as "I was hoping you'd say that."
