If someone expects something to hap

If someone expects something to happen, it means there is a strong probability or belief that it will happen or be true. On the basis of what people have already done or proven, we can expect someone can do, or something can happen to him/her. For example, if one of my friends has already been to a well-known restaurant and recommended the place to me – then I can expect that the food will be good because of my friend’s previous experience at that restaurant.
