My friend Sam was once bound to a tree. Ooh, that was unpleasant.

(I might have made that up.

)

I think bint is the present tense of bind. Bints are a bind (sometimes)

And bints are bound to find out if you are up to no good.

"bind" is quite a standard example, not only in English, but also in Dutch and German (binden) ;)

bound is correct

bind - bound - bound

What about to be bound to?
Does it mean to be certain?

He is bound to arrive this evening. - is this sentence ok? Is this expression frequently used in spoken English?

Thank you.
