wait for something to happen
To wait for something or someone that you know will come or happen.
वापर नमुना:
to await [something]
सामान्य चूक:
Learners often say *"await for"* (e.g., *"I await for your reply"*). This is incorrect because "await" is already a transitive verb and does not take "for". Say *"I await your reply"* or *"I am waiting for your reply"*. Another common mistake is using "await" in very casual conversation where "wait for" is more natural.
समानार्थी शब्द
wait for ("Wait for" is more common and less formal; "await" is mainly used in writing or polite speech.)
|
expect (Focuses more on believing something will happen, while "await" focuses on the period of waiting.)
विरुद्धार्थी शब्द
ignore (If you ignore something, you do not pay attention or wait for it, which is the opposite of actively awaiting it.)

be in store for someone
To be something that will happen to a person or thing in the future.
वापर नमुना:
[something] awaits [someone/something]
सामान्य चूक:
Learners sometimes confuse this with the simple "wait for" sense and try to say *"a hard time waits for you"* in contexts where native speakers prefer *"a hard time awaits you"* or *"a hard time is waiting for you"*. With this sense, "await" often makes the sentence shorter and more natural.
समानार्थी शब्द
lie ahead (Often used for general future situations; "await" can sound a bit more formal or dramatic.)
|
be in store for (Very similar meaning, but more idiomatic and slightly more informal than "await".)
विरुद्धार्थी शब्द
be behind (If something is behind you, it has already happened, contrasting with something that still awaits you in the future.)
