Please explain "Kept my fingers crossed"

It means that I hope/pray everything went well!

Dear LL,

I assert that yours should got to be :

It means that I hope/pray that everything GOES well.

"Kept my fingers crosses" means that "One has done sth and hopes for its success". It doesn't mean that "It WENT well".

Am I right, LL?

I thought about that myself when I was writing the comment. If we say, I KEEP my fingers crossed, you're right. If KEPT, probably means that I hoped that it went well. Now, it may have gone well, and may have not. I don't know, I always make mistakes when it comes to "hope". I'll think about it!

How does it sound?

I finished my english grammar exam and kept my fingers crossed hoping for better result.

Hello!
I'd say "for A better result", and then it must refer to your previous exam, where your marks weren't very good.

No...No. My intended idea has been take out of context.

Meaning :

I wrote the exam and I'm keeping my fingers crossed hoping to get a better result in THIS exam.

How to paraphrase my previous example so that it conveys the above meaning.

Yes, but "better" is a comparative, so it always refer to something else, you compare whatever is better to something else; a "than" is always implied.

Yes, ofcourse I do know that usage of 'better'. I want to emphasise that 'i'm curiously hoping for a better result than the previous one'.

So, that gets me to the opinion that my previous sentence is absolutely right.

Isn't Anne?

Then it is!

It means that they were sayin u a good luck!!!!!
