Question

Choose the grammatically correct sentence.

• A. The teacher is awaiting for your answer.
• B. The teacher is awaiting your answer.
• C. The teacher await for your answer.
• D. The teacher is awaiting to your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. The teacher is awaiting your answer.

The verb “await” is a transitive verb, so it takes an object directly. We do not use “for” or “to” after await.

• The teacher is awaiting for your answer. ❌ → await does not take for.

• The teacher is awaiting your answer. ✅ → Correct usage.

• The teacher await for your answer. ❌ → Incorrect because await does not take for, and the subject the teacher requires awaits in the simple present.

• The teacher is awaiting to your answer. ❌ → await is not followed by to.
