dropping ending -s

[sergeyrais]

Would it be right to drop -s in a third-person-singular verb after the introductory expression I hope (would hope)?

e.g.
I hope she win.
I would hope he come.

Where did you find 'I hope she win'? It's wrong.

'I would hope he come' is also wrong.

I hope she wins.
I would hope he comes. (Unlikely sentence)

You may be confusing this situation with the subjunctive: I demand he leave. I requested she go.

But "I hope" doesn't take the subjunctive.

I have heard about subjunctive but never thought it would allow things like:

I demand he leave.
I requested she go.

I will have a conversation with Mr. Swan.

Thank you Barb

I wouldn't bother, Offroad. Very few native speakers use those constructions and they sound wrong to the majority who have never heard of the subjunctive.

I've been told that Americans use the subjunctive more than other English-speaking nations.

So it is safe not to use the subjunctive on formal documents?

Many thanks

On formal documents it's safer not to use it than to attempt to use it but get it wrong.
