Hope

[ROBINDESBOIS]

What verb tenses can follow the verb hope. I know the present simple is the most common one
I hope you´re right
I hope to enjoy this trip
I hope you will be right ----------- it doesn´t sound right to me
I hope you had a fantastic vacation.

What is the explanation ? When do we use the present simple, when do we use will, and the infinitive?

[Rusty]

All are fine sentences.

You can use any tense after the verb 'hope', including the infinitive.
