Hi

May someone tell me what bound in the below sentence mean?

we need an adaptor for our electrical things. Your hair dryer and my shaver … The plugs on them are [color=red]bound to be the wrong type.

Thanks
Swan

The plugs are certain to be the wrong type.

See definition 1 here:
oxfordlearnersdictionaries.c … _1?q=bound

Your questions is incorrect with ‘may’. You need to use ‘Will’ or ‘would’ there.

Thanks for the answer as well as the correction…
