I’m waiting for the bus. I’m expecting a package tomorrow. We’re expecting guests this weekend. My teacher expects me to do my homework.Wait and expect. These seem like simple words, right? But they can be easy to mix them up. Like, what’s the difference between, “I’m waiting for you,” and, “I’m expecting you”? Why can we say, “I’m expecting a package,” but not, “I’m waiting a package”? And what does it mean when someone says, “We’re expecting  guests”? Or even, “She’s expecting”? Yeah… there’s actually a lot going on here with these two words. So today, we’re going to look at how people really use wait and expect in everyday English.The Happy English PodcastHelping people speak English better since 2014Over 1,000 episodes • 8 million downloads📘 Build your vocabulary with my free Vocabulary Workshop<a href="https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/vocabulary-workshop-signup" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/vocabulary-workshop-signup</a>🎥 Watch video versions of the Happy English Podcast on YouTube<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@HappyEnglishNY/podcasts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.youtube.com/@HappyEnglishNY/podcasts</a>🌐 Learn more about my English lessons and courses<a href="https://www.myhappyenglish.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.myhappyenglish.com</a>
