Definition: The act of coming up.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look!
That’s a perfectly good definition from the dictionary – “the act of coming up.” But let's unpack that a little bit, shall we?
“Upcoming” really means something is
about to happen
, or it’s
on its way
. It’s not here
yet
, but it’s definitely scheduled! Think about it like this:
"The upcoming test" – the test isn't happening
today
, but it's planned for sometime soon.
“An upcoming concert” - The music show is coming, you just need to wait a little while longer.
It’s a word that describes something that will be in the
future
, like a little preview of what's to come!
Does that make sense? Do you have any questions about 'upcoming'? Don't hesitate to ask – learning is all about understanding!
