The difference between what is expected or appears to be and what actually is

Expected, is what you think will happen, example: I expect the villain to be here by dawn! 

Appears to be and actually is: It seems like the villain wont be here until next week..

Expected means what you think will happen. For example: I was expecting a friend to come over today. Second example: It was expected that the doctor was supposed to be at her office Monday through Friday.

Appears is what you seem will happen. For example: It appears that the plumber won't be able to be here until next weekend because his schedule is booked.

Hope this helps you!!
