worried about something that may happen

Feeling worried or not comfortable because you think something bad may happen soon.

उपयोग पैटर्न: [someone] is apprehensive about [something]
आम गलती:
Learners often say *apprehensive of something* in modern English; while it is not wrong, *apprehensive about something* is much more common. They also sometimes use *apprehensive* for present fear (like being scared of a dog right now); it is usually used for worry about something that has not happened yet. Another confusion is using *apprehensive* to mean 'able to understand quickly', which is now very rare and sounds old-fashioned.
