USAGE:

(1.) В отличие от русского существительного надежда (мн. ч. надежды), английское hope чаще употребляеся в единственном числе. В соответствующих словосочетаниях оно используется без артикля: to lose (to give up) all hope - потерять все надежды/всякую надежду. (2.) Русское словосочетание "надеяться (надежда) что-либо сделать" передается предложной конструкцией (to have) hope of doing smth (3.) See habit, n

I hope so. — Думаю, что так.

I hope not. — Думаю, что нет. /Думаю, что это не произойдет.

We hope that you are comfortable. — Надеемся, тебе удобно.

- hope to do smth
- hope that...
- hope for smth
- hope for the better

- hope fervently

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.).
