Question

一道题英语时态问题，求英语高手，好心人帮帮忙！！！

I _____ that he would be able to leave tomorrow, but it's beginning to look diffcult.
A. hope B. had hoped C. hoped D. am hoping
我个人认为应该选C，但是答案给的是B.
纠结啊。

Answer 1

选B. had hoped
句子的意思是：他本来希望明天能够出发的，但现在看上去这很困难。
根据后面的 we would be able to leave tomorrow ，我们判断这是对过去事实的一种虚拟，所以前面要用had hoped。当条件是与现在或过去事实相反时，就可以用虚拟。所以此处是B. had hoped
希望对有你帮助。

Answer 2

主语被省略了 完整的是He had hoped that he would be able to leave tomorrow, but it's beginning to look diffcult

Answer 3

hope think, expect等词用had done的形式表示本希望，本打算（实际没有成功）
