Hi Alan,

I think the word "television" must link with "screen"?
Is there any idiom expression while using "what's in store in the television."?

Please explain more.
Thank you very much

It must be ON television. In store means something you can expect or that is waiting for you.

I'm nit-picking here, but I suppose this is the place for it.

You wrote:

When speaking of the future as a noun, don't forget to include a modifier like "the" or "a":

- I'd like to know what the future has IN STORE for me;)

- Do we have a future together, Tom?

- The future is ahead of the past.

etc.

If it was a simple typo, I apologize.

Thanks again for the translation of "Si no viene al caso" = "If it`s beside the point"

[blazya]

or instead of "Me gustaria saber lo que el futuro tiene preparado para mi"

[prezbucky]

Conchita is really the one to ask, but:

Me gustaria saber lo que el futuro tiene reservado para mi = I'd like to know what the future has reserved for me.

Me gustaria saber lo que el futuro tiene preparado para me = I'd like to know what the future has prepared for me.

I lean toward "reservado/reserved" -- I think that it's closer in meaning to "in store" than "preparado/prepared".

Creo que "reservado" es mejor que "preparado".

All your translations are fine. Another verb often used in this expression is 'deparar' -- it has become a collocation, really:

Me gustar?a saber lo que el futuro me depara (me reserva/me tiene preparado).

Hi Allen, just wondering why you use "the store" instead of "screen" for tv?
