How to use "Unpredictable" in context?
Unpredictable is an adjective that best describes something that isn't in keeping with what is usually expected. This usually refers to something that is out of our control and can't be predicted. This term can be used in a positive or negative way, depending on how we interpret it.
Being unpredictable can be a good thing, as it can make life more exciting. For example, if we think we know what's going to happen next, but the outcome turns out to be unexpectedly different, that can be exciting.
On the other hand, if something is unpredictable, it can also be troubling.
