We are pending

Grammar usage guide and real-world examples

When something is pending, it means it is waiting to be decided or settled. It's in a state of suspension, awaiting further action or a final decision.

Since "we are pending" is grammatically incorrect, you can use alternatives like "we are awaiting", "we are waiting", or "we are expecting" depending on the context.

No, it is not correct to say "we are pending". The correct usage involves using 'pending' as an adjective, not a verb. Therefore you need to use alternatives like "we are awaiting" or "our application is pending".

Use 'pending' as an adjective to describe something awaiting resolution, for instance, "The decision is pending". It cannot be used as a verb to describe people's state. Therefore, don't say "we are pending", but "we are awaiting a decision".
