Usage Note :

  • Do not confuse expect, wait for, and look forward to. When you are expecting someone or something, you think that the person or thing is going to arrive or that the thing is going to happen. I sent a postcard so they were expecting me... We are expecting rain.When you wait for someone or something, you stay in the same place until the person arrives or the thing happens. Whisky was served while we waited for him... We got off the plane and waited for our luggage. When you look forward to something that is going to happen, you feel happy because you think you will enjoy it. I'll bet you're looking forward to your holidays... I always looked forward to seeing her.
