Answer:

Prepositions: of & to

Simple subject: Wesley

Verb: hopes

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject is the noun that is committing the verb. Remember that a noun is a person, place, thing, or idea. The verb is the action being committed in the sentence. Ask yourself, what's being done in the sentence? Someone's hoping. Then ask yourself, what's the noun that's hoping? The person (subject), Wesley. A preposition is a word—and almost always a very small, very common word—that shows direction, location, time, or that introduces an object. Prepositions are typically followed by an object, which can be a noun, a noun phrase, or a pronoun.
