  • How to use "anticipate" and "bring forward" for predictions and plans

    https://www.speakpipe.com/unlockyourenglish


    Hi there. Welcome back.
    Let's take a look at the use of "anticipate" and the phrasal verb "bring forward".
    "anticipate" can be considered a "false friend" in some languages, which means it looks like a similar word in your own language, but it may have a completely different meaning.
    Let's see if it is a false friend in your language too :)

    All the best and stay safe.
