Hi teachers. Please help me out with this.
Dad comes home to find his daughter crying.
Dad: What's wrong, Harper?
Daughter: Sean (a fictional teenage idol) and his girlfriend broke up. He looked so happy with her. It's just really sad.
Dad: I understand. But then let's hope he finds a new girlfriend soon.
Daughter: No. I don't want him to find anyone else. They were perfect for each other.
Dad: Okay. Then let's just hope they get back together, okay?
- Is this natural English?
- In the dad's second dialogue, is it more natural to say "...he'll find..." instead?
- In the dad's third dialogue, is the "just" appropriate?
- In the dad's third dialogue, is it more natural to say "Let's just hope they get back together then, okay?" instead?
