عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "slated" with "likely" and use it without the idea of a plan, saying things like "He is slated to win" when there is no schedule or decision involved. Use "slated" when something is planned, arranged, or officially expected, not just possible or probable.

عام غلطی:
