hope

[daisy1352]

I hope to pass.
She hopes that she will go to university next year.
After hope we use an infinitive or an object noun clause or simple present with a future meaning.
But in this sentence we have: I hope she is at home now. Is it because of now that we use is?
Thanks

I hope to pass (the exam).

She hopes to go to university next year.
She hopes to be going to university next year.

I hope she is/she's at home. Knock on the door and see.
I hope she's at home when we call (when we call round to see her sometime later today)

I hope she's home by now. I don't like the idea of her still being on the road in all this bad weather.
I hope she's home now. I've been trying to ring her all morning.

Which of these sentences are you unsure about?
