Unaweza kutaka kuweka mtu moja kwa moja baada ya wait, kama kwa vitenzi vingine. Lakini unahitaji for kati ya wait na mtu au kitu unachosubiri. Muda unaosubiri unaweza kufuata bila for: wait ten minutes. Marekebisho yanaongeza for.
Wait for huonyesha muda wa kusubiri: I waited for the parcel all day and couldn't go out. Expect ni kuamini jambo litafika au litatokea: I'm expecting a parcel today. Ukijua tu kifurushi kinakuja, tumia expect; ukikaa nyumbani hadi msafirishaji afike, tumia wait for.
