to forecast VS to foresee Hi guys, I'd like know if there are differences with these verbs. Let me know if it's necessary provide a context. Thanks you. Have a nice day. Sorry my fault. Wrong section https://www.italki.com/discussion/114537 Gohar worte: "Foresee" is not scientifical, more based on instincts,to know about something before it happens. "Forecast" is based on more solid data. For example: To forecast the weather. To foresee the future.

Foresee and foretell are mostly used in stories, especially the latter. During speech, it is more common for people to use the word predict. Forecast is used in a professional sense, most commonly for the weather. The weather forecast for today is... Forecast is used commonly in both speech and writing. Hope that helps
