You can find it in that dictionary under the word ‘envisage’. The term ‘envision’ tends to be used in American English (maybe because ‘envisage’ is a bit formal ?). As Pamela explained, it means ‘to foresee, to plan something which may take place’: I envisage a further increase in the cost of living; no changes are envisaged for the next twelve months.
Hi Conchita
Don’t forget that Pamela also came up with “imagine”.
Envision works in your sentences, too. Companies like that word a lot. Especially American ones. :lol:

Here’s yet another clear and pathetic example of my absent-mindedness: I had missed the whole second page of the thread! As a result, my previous post is rather incongruous, of course (to say the least).
I blame it all on the heat these days, but deep down (and not so deep down) I know there’s more to it than that!
Hi Conchita
That’s happened to me, too. I’ve clicked on a topic, thinking I would end up on the latest page, but end up on the first. That doesn’t happen all the time, only sometimes. And I have no idea why. It’s strange.
It’s hot here, too, but I assume not nearly as hot as in Spain. And the humidity is also a little higher than usual. Compared to where I grew up, though, the current “heatwave” is pretty tame. Thank goodness! How hot is it in your neck of the woods at the moment?
I was really surprised that Attila couldn’t find envision in dictionaries. That word is quite commonly used in American English. I wasn’t aware that it isn’t common in the UK. Now I’m wondering whether the Aussies use it at all… :lol:

Hi,
Don’t forget to close the door.
The door was already open.so we use this verb close.
Don’t forget to closing the door.
The second one is Unusal.
Hi swami
“Dont forget to closing the door” is not unusual, it’s wrong. 
“Don’t forget closing the door” was the unusual one.
Amy
Hi,
I forgot to close the door – the door is still open; I failed to close it
I forgot closing the door – The door is closed. I closed it, but then I forgot that I did that.
What about
I forgot to buy the cookbook – I forgot to buy the cookbook and its over. (past tense)
I forgot buying the cookbook – I bought the cookbook but but then I forgot that I did that (now). (present tense) ?
just want to make sure i get it right.
thanks!
Good Morning Alan.
Your illustration really works for me. I dont wish to bother you but if you could make me understand the use of “to close and closing”
via grammatical structure so that I could posses utter command on this topic and could feel comfortable to form sentences by using various action verbs. Please define this topic fully for me and for my other friends.
I would highly be thankful to you.
