It seems like you’re reaching for the correct idiom to use with set and hope. What does this idiom mean? I hope we have something that does not happen, I hope that if it doesn’t, there would be some consequences.. As

and you simply have to memorize the pattern.
Why “hope” in English and not “hope”? What idiom is created with and you can create a logical explanation. I suggest you try a different idiom and I’d love to explain it. Anyway, your sentences are grammatically fine, but the meaning doesn’t parse as well as if you use the idiom. Is it useless?
