Homework Help: English

Hello.
I wanted to ask if it is possible to use the progressive form of "expect" in the following structure: "he is expecting his brother to arrive before Friday" or is it "he expects his brother to arrive"?
Thank you very much for your help.

Both of those tenses work fine in that sentence. Choose the one you like better! They're both grammatically correct.
