USAGE:

(1.) В отличие от других глаголов суждения, таких, как to think, to believe, с глаголом to hope в отрицательных предложениях отрицание употребляется с глаголом придаточного, а не главного предложения: I hope she doesno't find it out. Cp. I don't think, she'll find it out. Надеюсь, она это не узнает. В кратких ответах с глаголом to hope в этом значении употребляются наречия not (для отрицания) и so (для утверждения): I hope so. Думаю, что так. I hope not. Думаю, что нет. /Думаю, что это не произойдет. (2.) Русское словосочетание "надеяться что-либо сделать" в значении "думать, ожидать, что что-либо будет сделано" соответствует в английском языке глаголу to expect: We didn't expect to get the answer so quickly. Мы не надеялись/не думали/не рассчитывали получить ответ так быстро. I expect to see him tomorrow. Я рассчитываю/надеюсь увидеть его завтра. (3.) See believe, v (4.) See so, adv; USAGE (1.).
