A:Will he come back soon? 他很快會回來嗎?

B:I expect so (I expect not). 我想是的(我看不會)。

4. 表示過去未曾實現的想法或打算，通常用過去完成時，但在一定的上下文當中，只要意思清楚，也可只用一般過去時。如：

I had expected to come early, but I missed the early bus. 我本來想早點來的，但未趕上早班車。

We expected him to arrive yesterday. 我們原以為他昨天就會到的。

有時在其后接不定式的完成式。如上面第一句也可改成：

I expected to have come early, but I missed the early bus.

5. 注意以下與 as 和 than 連用的句子：

He returned three days earlier than (he was) expected. 他回來的時間比預料的要早三天。

As might have been expected, he won first prize. 正如所料，他獲得了一等獎。

The machine, as might be expected, has stopped operating. 正如所料，這臺機器已停止運轉。
