Learn English – Will Late or Will come Late

adjectivesverbs

In our daily stand-up calls, my Project manager says "Ajay will be late today". I am just wondering like he will not late anymore!!, He will just come late or He is running late today from the regular schedule.

Its little bit confusing, which one of the following is the correct one?

  1. Ajay will be late
  2. Ajay will come late

Hope to get a clear idea.

Both are fine and mean the same thing, "Ajay will arrive late," meaning Ajay will not arrive at the time we had expected him to arrive. After his expected arrival time has passed you might say, "Ajay is late."
