Subjunctive?
In this sentence
I hope that he _____ his homework on time.
1. finishes 2. finish
3. will finish 4. should have finished
Which one is correct? Does the verb "hope"require the use of subjunctive?
Thank you

No, "hope" does not licence (allow) subjunctive complements, so "finishes" is the answer here. Note that "will finish" is also possible, but it's not the natural way of saying something like this.
