used to say what you hope
Used at the start of a sentence to say that you hope something will happen.
Модел на употреба:
Hopefully, [clause]
Честа грешка:
Learners sometimes think this meaning of "hopefully" is incorrect or very informal because some older style guides criticized it. In modern English it is standard and common in both speaking and writing. Learners also confuse "hopefully" with "I am hopeful"; use "hopefully" before a full clause ("Hopefully, it works"), and use "hopeful" before a noun or after "be" ("I am hopeful about the result"). Another mistake is to place it awkwardly in the middle of a sentence (e.g. *"It will hopefully tomorrow stop"*); it usually goes at the beginning or before the main verb: "Hopefully, it will stop tomorrow" or "It will hopefully stop tomorrow."

Модел на употреба:
[someone] [verb] hopefully
Честа грешка:
Learners sometimes use the adjective "hopeful" instead of the adverb "hopefully" after a verb (e.g. *"She looked hopeful at me"*). After an action verb, use the adverb: "She looked hopefully at me." Use "hopeful" before a noun or after "be": "She was hopeful" or "a hopeful smile."
Синоними
optimistically (Focuses more on expecting a good result, not just wishing for it.)
|
eagerly (Adds a sense of strong desire, not only positive expectation.)
Антоними
despairingly (Shows almost no hope and strong sadness, the opposite feeling of acting hopefully.)
