Hi,
What’s the difference between ‘expect of’ and ‘expect from’?
Many thanks,

Hi Nessie
There’s no difference between them .
expect sth from/of sbd = demand
Hi Nessie,
There is a slight difference. ‘Expect from’ suggests that you are waiting for something to come from someone as in: I am expecting a parcel from Canada.
‘Expect of’ often refers to an opinion or standard that you believe you can get from someone or something as in: I expect polite manners of a person with his education. It is the sort of high standard you would expect of an organisation like that.
