You 'wait' when you are sure that something is going to happan. You 'expect'when there are chances of something to happen. You 'hope' when you desire something to happen. Note: the chances in case of 'wait' seems more than that of 'expect.'

Hi, Lizeth Well, they might have various meanings depending on a context. But generally: wait - it's when you spend time while doing almost nothing until something happens. Simply time is running and you do nothing for that. "Wait for a friend." expect - it's when you know or believe that something will happen in the future. Maybe something planned or obvious. "We expect good news." hope - it's when you know that something will happen, but you believe in a positive outcome or result. So you expect only something that is good in your opinion. "I hope I'll pass this exam" Hope it helps. Good luck!

WAIT = you know something or someone is coming, so you wait for it/them eg: I am waiting for Pablo because he agreed to meet me today. / She is waiting for the waiter to bring her meal. EXPECT = you think that a certain thing or person will have a certain outcome, however, you can't be fully sure, you just think that it will be that way so it is related to the idea of having expectations (and it might involve disappointment if things don't go that way) eg: I am expecting for Sandra to be here by 10pm. / I expect my job to be successful. HOPE: you wish something or someone will bring a certain outcome. The idea of hope is connected to your faith or ability to believe something, but the person who hopes is not sure, they just want something to happen and they believe it can happen eg: She hoped her father would be back soon. / We hoped to be able to get married in a few months.

Lizeth, please wait for me. I expect to arrive in five minutes. I hope you are not angry with me for being late.
