Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Use 'be due to' for expected times and 'be set to' for official, fixed arrangements in formal contexts.

  • Use 'be due to' + verb for scheduled arrivals or deadlines. Example: The train is due to arrive at 6 PM.
  • Use 'be set to' + verb for official plans or imminent actions. Example: The CEO is set to resign tomorrow.
  • Always use the infinitive (to + verb) after 'due' or 'set'. Example: They are due to start soon.
Subject + [am/is/are] + due/set + to + Verb 📅

مرور کلی

تا به حال روی سکوی قطار ایستاده‌اید و به مانیتور خیره شده‌اید و فکر کرده‌اید که چرا قطار ساعت ۹:۱۵ هنوز نیامده است؟ شما به دنبال نوع خاصی از آینده هستید. این فقط یک حدس یا یک برنامه مبهم نیست؛ این یک «زمان‌بندی» است.
در انگلیسی، وقتی درباره چیزهایی صحبت می‌کنیم که رسماً زمان‌بندی شده‌اند یا «آماده شروع» هستند، همیشه از will یا going to استفاده نمی‌کنیم. به جای آن، از be due to و be set to استفاده می‌کنیم. این‌ها ابزارهای حرفه‌ای زمان آینده در انگلیسی هستند که شما را منظم و دقیق نشان می‌دهند.

این گرامر چطور کار می‌کنه

این الگوها را به عنوان «آینده برنامه‌ریزی شده» در نظر بگیرید. آن‌ها رویدادهایی را توصیف می‌کنند که به تقویم، ساعت یا یک توافق رسمی وابسته‌اند. Be due to انتخاب اصلی شما برای هر چیزی است که در جدول زمانی قرار دارد.
از طرف دیگر، Be set to کمی بیشتر شبیه به یک فنر جمع شده است؛ وقتی استفاده می‌شود که همه چیز آماده است و عمل در آستانه شروع شدن است. این عبارت را مدام در تیتر اخبار می‌بینید چون هیجان‌انگیز و نزدیک به نظر می‌رسد.

الگوی ساخت

1
ساختن این جملات مثل چیدن قطعات لگو است - مراحل را دنبال کنید تا عالی شود:
2
فاعل (Subject): شخص یا چیزی که درباره‌اش صحبت می‌کنیم (مثل The flight).
3
Be (صرف شده): آن را با فاعل و زمان مطابقت دهید (am, is, are, was, were).
4
عبارت: عبارت due to یا set to را قرار دهید.
5
فعل پایه (Infinitive): از شکل ساده فعل بدون هیچ پسوندی استفاده کنید.

کی استفاده کنیم

وقتی درباره برنامه‌های رسمی صحبت می‌کنید از be due to استفاده کنید. این شامل قطارها، هواپیماها، شیفت‌های کاری و مهلت‌های پروژه می‌شود. اگر پای ساعت در میان است، due to بهترین دوست شماست.
وقتی درباره انتظارات و آمادگی‌ها صحبت می‌کنید از be set to استفاده کنید. این عبارت در دنیای تجارت و تکنولوژی بسیار رایج است و نشان می‌دهد برنامه‌ها تمام شده و رویداد حتمی است.

اشتباهات رایج

بزرگترین تله، اشتباه گرفتن حرف اضافه due to (به معنی «به دلیلِ») با الگوی گرامری be due to + فعل است.
  • ✗ درست: بازی به دلیل (due to) باران لغو شد.
  • ✗ نادرست: بازی قرار است باران ببارد (The game is due to rain).
اشتباه دیگر فراموش کردن to است. نمی‌توانید بگویید
The bus is due arrive
. شما به آن پل نیاز دارید:
The bus is due to arrive
.

سوالات متداول (8)

You can, but it sounds very formal. If you say `I am due to go to the gym`, it sounds like you have a very strict schedule. Usually, `I'm going to` is better for personal life.

Both mean 'because of', but only `due to` can be used as a future schedule marker. You cannot say `The train is owing to arrive`.

Yes, in this context it refers to the future. However, `set` can also be a past participle (e.g., 'The table is set'), but that is a different meaning.

Yes, but then it means 'because of'. For example, `The delay was due to rain`. To use it for the future, you need `to + verb`.

It is common in both, especially in journalism. However, `be due to` for transport is slightly more common in British English.

Yes! `The train was due to arrive at 5, but it was late`. This is a great way to talk about things that were supposed to happen but didn't.

Close, but `set to` implies it is officially scheduled, while `ready to` just means the person or thing is prepared.

Headlines often drop the verb `to be` to save space. This is called 'headlinese'.

In Other Languages

Spanish moderate

tener previsto / estar programado

Spanish often uses the passive or reflexive forms where English uses 'be due to'.

French high

devoir / être prévu

French 'devoir' is more ambiguous as it also means 'must'.

German moderate

sollen / laut Fahrplan

German relies more on modal verbs than adjective structures like 'due to'.

Japanese high

yotei desu (~予定です)

Japanese 'yotei' is used for both personal and official plans, whereas 'due to' is more official.

Arabic high

min al-muqarrar (من المقرر)

The Arabic structure is more adverbial/prepositional.

Chinese moderate

yùjì (预计)

Chinese doesn't conjugate for tense, so the context of 'yùjì' provides the future meaning.
