Hi,

There are a few corrections I would like to make regarding this sentence:

"In the end; I hope you to achieve great success in your life hoping Allah giving you peace of mind."

1) "In the end;"

You've put a semicolon ( ; ). There is really no need. The semicolon should be used to separate related sentences, or items in a list.

"In the end" is not a complete sentence and it is not an item in a list :)

2) I assume you meant to say that as the last thing you want to wish is great success, etc.

The best word for is "Finally."

3) "I hope you to achieve"

There should be no "to" after "I hope you."

The reason for this is that "I hope you will achieve" is actually a short form of "I hope that you will achieve."

And you can?t say "I hope that you to achieve," right? :)

4) "hoping Allah giving you peace of mind."

A conjunction (connecting word) is missing.

Also, who is hoping?

So, here is the fully corrected sentence:

"Finally, I hope you will achieve great success in your life, and I hope Allah will give you peace of mind."

I hope this helps :)

I think your sentence should be corrected as following:

-In the end; I hope you achieve great success in your life hoping Allah gives you peace of mind."

OR

-In the end; I hope you achieve great success in your life and hope Allah gives you peace of mind."

After HOPE we need a verb in the infinitive without to, not an -ing form.

Firstly, Thank you

You inform me that "Hope" followed by to + infinitive , but you here put the verb in a present simple not in infinitive.
(hope Allah gives)
Can I know more about your opinion?

Hello Mohammad

I think your sentence should be corrected as following:

-In the end; I hope you achieve great success in your life hoping Allah gives you peace of mind."

OR

-In the end; I hope you achieve great success in your life and hope Allah gives you peace of mind."

After HOPE we need a verb in the infinitive without to, not an -ing form.
