English Synonyms and Antonyms
hope
To anticipate may be either to take before in fact or to take before in thought; in the former sense it is allied with prevent; in the latter, with the synonyms above given. This is coming to be the prevalent and favorite use. We expect that which we have good reason to believe will happen; as, a boy expects to grow to manhood. We hope for that which we much desire and somewhat expect. We apprehend what we both expect and fear. Anticipate is commonly used now, like foretaste, of that which we expect both with confidence and pleasure. In this use it is a stronger word than hope, where often "the wish is father to the thought." I hope for a visit from my friend, tho I have no word from him; I expect it when he writes that he is coming; and as the time draws near I anticipate it with pleasure. Compare ABIDE; PREVENT.

How to use hope in a sentence?
It's important, if we don't extend what we cherish to our children and grandchildren, even great-grandchildren in my case, then there's no doubt in my mind that society as we know it will be lost. We're seeing what's happening, and these kids are our hope.
When you choose to stay present, what you’re able to build with hope can be amazing.”
Remember the first one? Atwood said referring to Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. Two guys fly a plane in the middle of something and blow that up? The only difference is, in‘Star Wars,’ they get away, right after 9/11, they hired a bunch of Hollywood screenwriters to tell them how the story might go next. Sci-fi writers are very good at this stuff, anticipating future events. They don’t all come true, but there are interesting ‘what if’ scenarios.
Our hope is that The Warmbiers's coming home. There seems to be a tension now placed on things that were ignored before, so I can't imagine this isn't good for our country, but more importantly, good for Otto, he's a 22-year-old college student who has never been in trouble. This seems to be bigger than anything he was accused of doing.
Words can't describe it, you hope that when you win you have a bit of breathing space coming to the last. I've only won one before and it was a five-hole play-off so it was a bit more nerve-wracking, we stuck to our game-plan, we said we were going to go aggressive and see if we could shoot another low score and put it out of reach for the other players. Luckily we did and it was a really good win.
