Hope everyone got it now.

What is the diff between an arrival and the arrival ?

Pavan said:   1 decade ago
I agree with Aaithya you can spell "waiting for" or "awaiting" not " awaiting for".

Subhamoy said:   1 decade ago
Well mallikarjuna you are absolutely right, await indeed means to wait for.

Manikyalarao said:   1 decade ago
Yes friends

Awaiting = Waiting for

If We use awaiting for then it would be a blunder

Akshay said:   1 decade ago
Await=waiting for.

Gangadharam said:   1 decade ago
Yes, because await means waiting for.

So we should not use it as "awaiting for".

Vertika said:   1 decade ago
"awaiting for" is wrong english.
"waiting for" or "awaiting" is corrct.

Riya said:   1 decade ago
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.
