@dontcry There's nothing really bad about it, everyone will understand what you mean but it just sounds a little funny. 'The' is usually added to make things sound more specific, and it's not needed here. It's alright to mess it up though, everyone will understand so don't stress too much it just helps you sound more natural.

@dontcry Yes it is wrong, "the anticipation" is better in that situation. Also it's fine! I understand, English doesn't make a lot of sense. 😂 I am trying to learn Korean but I always mess up the word order, so I understand your struggle lolll
