Good day
in Manhattan SC idiom section page 155 we have:
We EXPECT THAT the price WILL FALL.
IT IS EXPECTED THAT the price WILL FALL
There IS an EXPECTATION THAT the price will fall
My question is: Should the second verb (the verb to fall in this example) always be the in the future tense, or is there any other kind of rule? (for example if expect is in tense T the second verb should be in tense T+1)?
Many thanks in advance

Hi Amadalia,

In most situations, "to expect" (or to have an "expectation") is about something that will likely occur in the future, so the verb "will" is grammatically correct.

You could use the word "would" though, if you're referring to something that happened in the past…

eg. The professor expects that many would have died during the volcanic eruption in Pompei.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
