Best practice
When referring to events or occurrences in the evening, use more precise and grammatically sound phrases like "anticipated for the evening" or "scheduled for the evening" to ensure clarity.
Common error
Avoid using "expected for" when describing events in the evening. The preposition "for" doesn't clearly indicate the relationship between the expectation and the time of day. Opt for prepositions like "in" or rephrase to use "anticipated this evening."
