Hope you get well soon là gì

  • #1

Which of the folowing is more common?
1] I hope you'll get well soon.
2] I hope you get well soon.

I remember reading somewhere that 2] is more common. If that's true, I would like to know the reason why.

    • #2

    I would imagine 2 is indeed more common. To me it sounds more natural, and is certainly what I would say. There is very little, if any, difference in meaning between 1 and 2, so perhaps the reason for 2 being more common is simply that it is very slightly shorter?

    Others may throw more light on this . . .

    • #3

    I don't think I've ever heard #1, although it makes sense, of course.

    • #4

    I would expect the first one to have a more stressed soon, so it means sooner rather than later, while the second one has a less stressed [but still stressed!] soon, and the focus of the utterance is more on the binary condition get well soon/not get well soon; the second condition could include not getting well at all.

    I was taught that hope required Future Simple...

    • #6

    My feeling, not based on any scientific analysis or research, is that in many kinds of subsidiary clause we very often don't feel the need to mark the future with "will", "going to" and so on, where it is evident from the context that the future is meant. Clauses following hope fall into this class.
    I hope he got there OK. He should have got there by now, so the hope is for the past.
    He sets off to work at 8.45 every day. I hope he gets there on time. [simple present tense implied]
    He has just set off and it is snowing. I hope he gets there OK. [future implied]

    Hi everyone,

    Suppose, one of my friends is laid up in bed with some illness. In this context which of the following sentences is apt to say to him.

    I hope you will be recover soon.
    I hope you recover soon.
    I hope you get well soon.
    I pray to god for your immediate recovery.

    • #8

    I hope you will be recover soon.
    I hope you will be better soon.
    I hope you will get better soon.
    I hope [that] you recover soon.
    I hope [that] you get well soon.
    I pray to god for your immediate recovery.

    People say all of these things. AE people also say the short phrase:

    Get well soon!

    It sounds odd. It sounds like a request. But it is really a hope. It's like:

    Have a nice day! [meaning: I hope you have a nice day]

    I understand. Thanks a lot.
