In the whole of English language? Can you, please, be more specific? :-D
Did you have some examples that you found confusing?

***** NOT A TEACHER *****


(a) If you will google "expect of," you will find many examples.

(b) Here are some that I found:

WHAT DO WOMEN EXPECT OF A "MODERN GENTLEMAN"?

WHAT DO WE EXPECT OF OUR ECONOMY?

I EXPECT POLITE MANNERS OF A PERSON WITH HIS EDUCATION.

(c) A man named "Alan" (who runs another helpline) explains:

"Expect of" often refers to an opinion or standard that you believe

you can get from someone or something.

(i) For example (from my dictionary):

We expect great things of you. (That is, we feel that you will be a

very successful person.)

(ii) My very humble example:

When I read the news on the British Broadcasting Corporation website,

I always expect the highest standards of ethical journalism.

P.S. "Alan" explains that "expect from" is different: I am expecting

a package from Canada (waiting for something specific to arrive).

TheParser are you a big fan of Spinoza?!

EDIT: Spinoza is a philosopher, who wrote in very clearly numbered and labeled units. He was assigned in the very first phil class I took. It was addictive!

This humble soul is too ignorant to know whether your question is

an insult or a compliment. Who was Spinoza?

Thank you very much for the edit. Apparently, I am one of his fans.
