Have someone do
Hi, there

Which sentence is correct?

“Sometimes you may write something and have people read it who you wouldn’t expect (to) but then people you would expect to read it don’t.”

or

“Sometimes you may write something and have people read it who you wouldn’t expect (to) but have people who you would expect to read it not read it”

Between these two, which one is better? And Should I use “to” after expect?

Thank you

Answer

So is it fine to say “You may riwte sometbing and bave peoole read it who...”?

Answer

Either is OK. I probably wouldn't use 'then', as that suggests a difference in time, e.g. A happens then B happens.
I would probably say “Sometimes you may write something and have people read it who you wouldn’t expect to but also that people you would have expected to read it don’t.”

Answer

The first one is definitely better, and in this case I wouldn’t say “expect to” expect would be fine, but that’s only in this case!
