The question was: What can this mean? "Simon m'attend a la gare"?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following  were given as correct:

1). Simon is waiting for me at the station. (I agree)

2). Simon is expecting me at the station.  (I don't understand)

With the exception of "expecting a baby" I thought "expecting" was expressed via s'attendre (ie. reflexive)

Surely there would have to be a reflexive pronoun in the sentence for 2). to be true?

Your explanations often are confusing.  You write "Note that the verb agrees with the object"But what you mean is

"The pleasing thing or person is the subject, and as always, subjects and verbs agree.  The person or thing being pleased is placed as an indirect object, either as the object of the preposition à or with an indirect object pronoun.
