How to use "Set to" in context?
"set to" is an idiomatic expression which means that something is planned or prepared for.
When we say that someone is "set to go," we mean that they are ready to start their journey or that they have made up their mind about what to do.
Similarly, when we say that something "is set to happen," we mean that it is inevitable and that there is no way to stop it.
In either case, this expression usually indicates that the person or thing is in good spirits and ready to take on whatever comes their way.
