Hoped

I think your father hoped you would go to college.

We hoped to have done with the work before the holidays.

We had hoped that the rain would stop before noon.

I had hoped to save more money.

Everyone hoped that she would win.

Everyone hoped for a snow flurry for Christmas.

Pepperberg hoped that a similar system would help Alex grasp the meaning of words, not just their sounds.

Anyway, she didn't get what she hoped for.

When the politician died, everybody hoped the son would follow in his father's footsteps.

I don't think the house is as big as we hoped.
