Able to be predicted in advance
Able to be known or guessed before it happens, because of what we know now.
Padron ng paggamit:
[something] is foreseeable
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes use *foreseeable* to mean simply *soon* or *near*, but it actually means *able to be predicted*. The set phrase is usually *the foreseeable future*, not *a foreseeable future*. Also, do not confuse *foreseeable* with *visible*; it refers to prediction, not sight.

|
unpredictable (Opposite idea of not being able to guess what will happen; broader and more common in general use.)
