I hope structure
Hi.
Regarding the following sentence.
" I hope you didn't go to meet us at bowling"
Did the speaker go bowling or not? To me, it sounds, they haven't gone bowling, but I realized afterwards that they went bowling.
So if I say, I hope you didn't come to my house, does it mean that I wish they had come to my house.
The above sentence is very confusing for me? Could you tell the structure of it? or paraphrase it?
Thank you for your time.

It literally means what it says: it doesn't specify whether they went bowling or were in the house. You would need another sentence to specify this.
