Hello Everyone,
The usage tip of the day is "about to".
About to is used to say that something is going to happen very soon without specifying exactly when.
A time expression is not necessary and should be avoided:
E.g: The concert is about to start
It means that it is imminent; The concert starts in five minutes, tells us exactly when.
At the following link, http://letras.mus.br/ac-dc/630/, you can find a music that will give you an example of such use of the expression "about to". It is a song of ACDC from the album "For those about to Rock"
have fun,
Nevton
