This was the first time I witnessed this kind of situation.
1. I hope that I never encountered a situation like that again.
2. I hope that I will never encountered a situation like that again.
3. I hope that I would never encountered a situation like that again.
Which sentence is correct?
Thanks.
Hi Webmaster
There is something wrong with the Bold, Italicize and Underline functions.
Could something be done to rectify the problem?
Many thanks.
None of them are correct. All have horribly mixed tenses.
I hope that I never encounter ... again
I hope that I shall never encounter ... again

Actually I was careless when posting, depending too much on 'copy and paste'.
I hope that I will never encounter ... I think this sentence is correct. Am I right?
Many thanks for your detailed reply.
Indeed, modern English is replacing traditional English and it certainly confuses a lot of users of English. Besides 'shall' and 'will', 'who' and 'whom' are a pair of confusing words.
All the best.
