Usage about to


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
