Thank you CJ again for always being helpful. I have this last question. This really got me confused.
What's the difference in meaning between the following sentences? I am lost.
I'd hope he’d visit his parents once in a while.
or,
I'd hope he visits his parents once in a while.
Do they mean the same or there is a slight difference? Please respond. Thank you in advance.
