Use anticipate for s'attendre

Richard M.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

I wonder if it would help to use "anticipate" for s'attendre. Or, even as only a memory tool, "dread" (but not as an actual translation). I think it may be that trying to use (in our minds) expect in two subtly different ways may be leading to the confusion. This tool (or trick) works for me? What do you think?

This question relates to:French lesson "Attendre quelqu'un vs s'attendre à quelque chose = to wait vs to expect in French"
