If it is convenient for [to] you, we’ll come tomorrow. 如果你方便的话,我们就明天来吧。
2. convenient的实际意思是“使人感到方便的”,而不是“(自己)感觉到方便的”,所以它的主语通常不能是人。如:

比较:
误:I’ll come if you are convenient.()

Will it be convenient for you to start work tomorrow? 明天就开始工作你觉得方便吗?
有时也可能没有形式主语,而用“人”或“物”作主语,但此时句子的主语必须是其后不定式的逻辑宾语。如:
Mary is convenient to see on Sunday. = It’s convenient to see Mary on Sunday. 星期天见玛丽较为方便。
The furniture is convenient to move. = It is convenient to move the furniture. 这家具搬起来很方便。

hope与wish
wish和hope都表示“想”“希望”,宾语可为to +动词原型,不可是动词的ing形式。
I hope (wish) to visit Guilin .
不同点:
(1)wish +宾+ to +动词原形表示命令,hope无此用法
I wish you to go意思是我要你去
(2)hope后不能直接跟名词作宾语,可跟for +名词,表示可实现的“希望”,wish虽也跟for +名词,但表示难实现的“愿望”。
I hope for success .我希望成功。
I wish for a car .我很想得到小汽车
(3)hope和wish可跟that从句,但hope + that表示希望
wish + that表示“愿望”,且从句动词用虚拟语气
I hope you”ll be better soon .
I wish I were ten years younger .
(4)wish可跟双宾语
We wish you a happy New Year
