                await = wait for!
Hope everyone got it now.

                I agree with Aaithya you can spell "waiting for" or "awaiting" not " awaiting for".

                Well mallikarjuna you are absolutely right, await indeed means to wait for.

                Yes friends
Awaiting = Waiting for
If We use awaiting for then it would be a blunder
                Awaiting = Waiting for

                Yes, because await means waiting for.
So we should not use it as "awaiting for".

                "awaiting for" is wrong english.
"waiting for" or "awaiting" is corrct.

                It sounds good when using "for". But I need to which one is correct.

                I think the right sentence is " students were awaiting the arrival of the chief guest" we cant use THE before students.
It does nt make any sense. Is there any query please send me.
