慶英会 塾長|慶應義塾大学卒・英検1級
中高一貫校の学校英語・NEW TREASURE・英検対策を専門とするオンライン個別指導塾です。塾長紹介
英検2級の短文語句空所補充や長文でhope・expect・wish・look forward toの違いを説明できますか。hopeは自分の希望、expectは予想・期待、wishは現実と異なる願望や過去の後悔、look forward toは将来の出来事を楽しみにしていることを表します。hope to do・expect 人 to do・wish+過去形・look forward to doingの形も違います。
慶英会が独自制作した語法4択20問・意味を保つ書き換え12問・独自4長文12問=44課題を、全解答・日本語の根拠付きで掲載します。NEW TREASUREなどで基礎を学んだ中高一貫校生が英検2級の読解・英作文へ進むための無料教材です。
結論|願望・予想・後悔・楽しみを区別する
| 構文 | 例 | 注意する意味 |
|---|---|---|
| hope to do | I hope to visit the museum. | 自分が訪問したい |
| hope (that)+節 | I hope it will be sunny. | 晴れてほしいという希望 |
| expect 人 to do | We expect students to arrive early. | 相手が早く来るという予想・期待 |
| wish+過去形 | I wish I had more time. | 現在の事実と異なる願い |
| wish+過去完了 | I wish I had studied earlier. | 過去の後悔 |
| look forward to doing | I look forward to meeting you. | これから会うことを楽しみにする |
頻出の落とし穴:look forward to seeingのtoは前置詞なので後ろは動名詞です。wishにはI wish you good luck.の祝福表現もあり、すべてのwishを仮定法と考えるのは誤りです。I wish I couldとI hope I canでは、話者の現実認識も異なります。
英検2級の公式形式との関係
