Grammar
Want - hope
Hello
I found the following sentence in the grammar exercise.
#1 I hope my daughter to be an artist.
I think " hope " should be " want", because " hope" cannot follow a person as an object or " hope" should fallow that-clause. Is this right?
I'd like to know if #1 is grammatically right or not.
Thank you.
