expectation

noun B2 Neutral

Meaning

Expectation refers to a strong belief or anticipation about what will happen in the future, often based on past experiences or social norms.
💡 A common mistake is to confuse "expectation" with "expectancy," which refers more to the state of expecting rather than the belief itself.

Example Sentences
