Verbal Ability - Spotting Errors - Discussion

Yes, right @Adithya.

Yes, I can. In this sentence awaiting means waiting and (awaiting for) means already waited.

Eg: The student were awaiting of arriving of the chief guest.

"Await" is used when we want to spotlight a particular object or talking about an object.

Like here "the chief guest".

Understand it like this- Await itself contain a "for", so we need not to use 'for' with 'await'.

E.G- The students were 'awaiting' the arrival of 'the chief guest'.

Here "the chief guest" is an object (ie. We are not talking about Ram, Shyam, Mohan etc. Specifically. ).

More clearly;.
E.G1 Sandip awaited me. (Incorrect) {because "me" is not an object. "me" here is a specific person}.
E.G2 Sandip waited for me. (Correct).
E.G1 The students were "awaiting" the arrival of "the chief guest". (correct).
E.G2 The students were "waiting for" the arrival of the chief guest "Mr. Narendra Damodardas Modi". (correct).

Thanks @Dheeraj.

Thanks @Dhiraj.

Await= wait for (an event).

We await the proposals with impatience.

Awaiting =waiting for.

Awaiting = waiting for.

Thanks for all making me understand.
