Is this correct?

I read this in one of the posts here and I was wondering if it´s correct.
"Espero a ver te ayudado" .
I learnt that ´el verbo ver means to see.

Estimada Jane,

In Spanish, the pronoun attaches to the infinitive if you choose to have it follow the infinitive . So the correct way to write the sentence is: "Espero verte ayudado" or, if you wish to keep the pronoun separate, you can say, "Te espero ver ayudado". I hope this helps. Any questions, just ask. Someone will get back to you.

Poli

Hola Jane y Poli,

La expresión a la que Jane se refiere es Espero haberte ayudado.
De ningún modo está el verbo ver en la expresión.
Las oraciones que Poli dice son correctas, y la explicación tambien es correcta. Pero son cosas distintas: Espero verte ayudado (que no es muy común) y Espero haberte ayudado (que es una expresión bastante habitual).

Por lo tanto, lo que hay que aprenderse es: Espero haberte ayudado.

Espero haberos ayudado.

Thanks Alfonso,
Pensé que el verbo ver no tiene nada que ver con la frase.

Cabe añadir que espero verte ayudado es muy forzado en español, pero la estructura se puede usar con otros participios o adjetivos: espero verte recuperado, aprobado, casado, enfermo, muerto, etc.
