Will be complete

[tufguy]

Sometimes we say "It will be complete" and sometimes "It will be completed" why? What is the difference?

 

[Rover_KE]

The difference is in the context.

Try to write a sentence replacing 'It' with something specific.

 

[tufguy]

"Work will be complete by tomorrow".

" Work will be completed by tomorrow". I don't see any difference.

 

[bhaisahab]

"The work will be completed by tomorrow."

But where to use "will be complete"?

The tender will be complete when you provide us with the remaining documents.
The roll-out of this new technology will be complete within six months.

But where to use "will be complete"?

I don't know about that, but I would understand what was meant in either case.

In this country (USA) I would expect to hear:

The job will be finished tomorrow.

So, I can only use "Will be completed". There is no need to use "Will be complete"?

 

[tufguy]

I can only use "will be completed". There is no problem if I don't use "will be complete"?

 

[Tarheel]

So, I can only use "Will be completed". There is no need to use "Will be complete"?

No, there are alternatives.

That's right.

 

[Tarheel]

I can only use "will be completed". There is no problem if I don't use "will be complete"?

That is almost the same as the one before, and the answer is the same.
