How to use "Expects" in context?
When something is expected, it is usually looked forward to or anticipated. Expectations can be both good and bad, depending on the circumstances. For example, if you expect someone to show up on time for an appointment, that person may be held accountable if they are late. On the other hand, if you expect your friends to meet you at the party at 8pm, and they show up at 8:15, you may be upset with them. Expectations can also be positive, such as expecting a friend to compliment you on your outfit.
