Expect is a mental act and has aways a reference to the future ,
to some coming event ;
as a person expects to die ,
or he expects to survive .
Think and believe have reference to the past and present ,
as well as to the future ;
as I think the mail has arrived ;
I believe he came home yesterday ,
that he is he is at home now .
There is a not uncommon use of expect ,
which is a confusion of the two ;
as ,
I expect the mail has arrived ;
I expect he is at home .
This misuse should be avoided .
Await is a physical or moral act .
We await that which ,
when it comes ,
will affect us personally .

or may not ,
interest us personally .
