except -- sauf, à part, excepté I don't want to delete what was here, which is a wonderful explanation of how to say EXPECT in French:

s'attendre à ce que (+ subjontif)

s'attendre à (+ verbe)

Explanation

We use "attendre" (to wait) with its reflective form (s'attendre)

- Followed by "au" before a noun

Je m'attends au pire (I am expecting the worst)

- Followed by "à" before a verb (indicatif)

Je m'attends à voir la police arriver (I expect to see the Police come)

- Followed by à ce que (+ subjonctif) before a relative subordinate sentence

Je m'attends à ce qu'il soit en colère (I expect him to be angry)

je m'attendais à ce qu'il fût (past subj) en colère (I expected him to be angry)

Don't worry if in this last case you use the present subjunctive because french do it either (je m'attendais à ce qu'il soit en colère) but the correct form is with the past subjunctive.

Hope this all is easy to understand. Do not hesitate to write a comment
