Alright class, settle down and letβs take a look!
Thatβs a tricky definition youβve got there β βto act before someone, especially to prevent an action.β It's about taking the initiative, that's for sure.
Let's break it down with a little rhyme:
β
Anticipated
means you see ahead,
A future plan, carefully bred.
Youβre thinking πbeforeπ others do,
To stop something β itβs true!β
Think of it like this: imagine someone is about to trip on a loose rug. You
anticipate
the fall and quickly move them out of the way. You weren't waiting for them to stumble; you acted πaheadπ of the problem!
It can also mean expecting something β anticipating a rainy day, or anticipating a friendβs birthday.
Does that make it clearer? Do you have any questions about what "anticipated" means and how it fits into a sentence?
