ability to plan for the future
The ability to know or guess what the future will need, and to plan for it.
استعمال کا انداز:
to have [foresight] about [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "foresight" with "hindsight". "Foresight" is about knowing or guessing things before they happen, while "hindsight" is understanding something only after it has happened. Also, "foresight" is a noun; do not say *"to foresight"* as a verb.

careful planning for the future
Careful planning or action done now to be ready for future needs or troubles.
استعمال کا انداز:
