Expire / be expired / be expiring

[ysc1230]

Dear Teachers,

I know
#1 "The food will expire on tomorrow."
is correct.

However, I am not sure whether

#2 "The food will be expired on tomorrow."
and
#3 "The food will be expiring on tomorrow."

are possible.

Thanks a lot.

None is natural. Food cannot expire.

The food should be consumed by tomorrow.
The 'use-before' date of this food is tomorrow.

Oh very sorry, my sentences are not good examples.

However, I intended to know the verb "expire".

how about use "the service" instead of "the food"?


Thank you for your help.

No

Contracts, mandates, terms, passports, licences, leases, etc expire (run out, become no longer valid).

Where I come from, food has expiration dates.

That said, "the food expires tomorrow" or "the food will expire tomorrow" are natural expressions.
