Hope - will or would?

[Yura Reiri]

If you use the modal hope, should it be followed only by will or could it also be would?

I am aware that if it is in its past tense, would is correct. However, does the rule also apply in its present tense?

Example:

I do hope you would.....

Thank you!

A number of tense-forms are possible after 'hope' for present or future time. 'Would' is not normally used, except in such constructions as 'would like', 'would rather'.

I hope he is enjoying his new job. Present time.
I hope he likes his new job. Present or future time, depending on context.
I hope he will like his new job. Future time.
I hope he is coming/is going to come tomorrow. Future time.

Other tenses are possible with other time references:

I hope he has passed his test.
I hope he got home safely last night.

I hope you will...
I wish you would...

I hope you [will] pass your driving test (we would normally omit the word "will")
I wish you would close the door.

I hope you [will] have a good holiday.
I wish you would hurry up!

I can only think of one example of using "hope" and "would" in the same sentence:

Person A: I would go on holiday if I won the lottery.
Person B: I would hope you would!!! (Means the same as "I should think so too!")

I wish you would close the door.

I wish you would hurry up!

I knew I was taking a risk when I wrote, " 'Would' is not normally used, except in such constructions as 'would like', 'would rather' "!
