Hope this helped
I often see a sentence like "Hope this helped." without the subject when somebody is replying to help somebody. Is this a common English? What kind of grammar is behind it? I'm not familiar with the form which the verb is in the first place and helped is a past tense. Is it lilke,
A. I hope this helped you.
B. I wish this helped you.
C. You hope this helped you. (something like commanding, "look at there")
Similarly, I see "Agreed" in first sentences in forum posts. What does the sentence mean?
A. I agreed with what you say.
B. What you said is agreed by me.
Are these common in speaking too?
A. I hope this helped you.
B. I wish this helped you.
C. You hope this helped you. (something like commanding, "look at there")
