due to be paid
Used when money must be paid now or on a certain date.
Kullanım kalıbı:
[amount] is payable [by/on date]
Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes confuse "payable" with "affordable". "Payable" means the money must be paid (it is due), not that you have enough money to pay it. Another mistake is using it as a verb (e.g., *I payable the bill*). Instead, say "I pay the bill" or "The bill is payable."
