First. Even in this case, however, the formulation is extremely unhappy, which is due to the word “momentan” that you are going into a sentence in preteriority. (The second possibility would only make sense if something else, for example a conditional sentence, would join.)

Well, what does she think or say in that moment?

  • Ingrid: “I hope Simon/ihm will be fine.”
  • ANNEX She hopes he’s okay. (This is now, so present: Presents)
  • ANNEX She hoped he was fine. (That was, for example, yesterday, so past: Preterior)
  • Yesterday, Ingrid said to Simon, “You are well.”
  • a.) -> She hoped he’d be fine. (indirect speech)
  • (b) —> She hoped he’d be fine. (indirect speech = more elegant without “that”)

This “moment” has to go. This is not only stylistically clumsy, but also superfluous in terms of content, because the choice of the form of time is quite clear in all sentences that it is at the same time.

Why not: “She hoped it was good for him we have.” ?
The possibility should be in the same time…

INDIRECT REDE

Hello!

– She was hoping that he was fine.

– She hoped he’d be fine.

– She hoped he’d be fine.

While the introductory sentence can always be in any desired tempus, the time form in the ancillary depends on whether the action expressed therein is premature, simultaneous or recurrent.

In the case of pre-termity, you use the conjunctive I Perfect in the ancillary sentence, while at the same time the conjunctive I Presens and in the case of post-termity the conjunctive I Futur.

Greetings! 😊
