练习 1

"Sales forecasts..."

Which of the following statements use the term "forecast" correctly? There may be more than one correct answer!

I watch the weather forecast every night.

"Sales forecasts..."

Which of the following statements use the term "forecast" correctly? There may be more than one correct answer!

I watch the weather forecast every night.

This is a correct usage of the term "forecast". A "forecast" is a prediction about the future, based on information available now. The term is often used in the context of weather reports and meteorology, however the term can also be used in other contexts, notably financial ones. Example: The sales FORECAST for the next two quarters is promising.

The meteorologist forecast rain yesterday.

This is a correct usage of the term "forecast". Here the term is used as a verb: the simple past tense of "to forecast" is "forecast" (although "forecasted" is also acceptable). "To forecast" is a synonym of "to predict".

Just to confirm: the meeting will take place this afternoon as originally forecast.

This is an incorrect usage of the term "forecast". The term "forecast" is restricted to contexts where information or data is studied in order to make future predictions. The term is not used to talk about future appointments. In this context, "planned" (from the verb "to plan") would be more appropriate.

The wedding date is reserved. Now I have to forecast a meal for 50 people.

This is an incorrect usage of the term "forecast". We do not use the term "forecast" if we are talking about "planning" or "organizing" something. It is only used when talking about what will happen in the future based on current information.
