Is the last sentence grammatically correct?
I'm not going to throw a party, but if I had a party, I think I would prepare as many kinds of dishes and drinks as I can, and have a band play background music. I hope all the guests would enjoy the party.
I'd like to know if using "would"(the subjunctive mood) after "I hope" is acceptable.
Thank you in advance!

I'd say, "I'm not going to throw a party, but if I had a party, I think I would prepare as many kinds of dishes and drinks as I could, and have a band play background music. I'd hope all the guests would enjoy the party." |
