V1 (base form) is expect, V2 (past simple) is expected, and V3 (past participle) is expected. The -ing form is expecting and the he / she / it form is expects.
It is recorded as a regular verb in this table. Its V2 form is the base plus -ed (expect → expected), which is the regular pattern. The portal rates it easy.
V2 stands alone in the past simple — Expected at six. V3 is never used on its own: it follows has / have / had in the perfect tenses, and am / is / are / was / were in the passive voice.
It means अपेक्षा करना.
Yes — it is flagged IELTS-relevant on the portal, which means it shows up often in reading and writing tasks. Knowing all five forms matters because IELTS uses the perfect tense and the passive voice heavily.
