Use **من شأن ... أن** to discuss actions or events that naturally lead to specific results.

{{item:1161811}}

To express that something is "expected to" or "has the potential to" happen, use **من شأن** (literally "from the nature of"), followed by the noun causing the outcome, and then **أن** with a present tense verb.

{{item:1161814}}

The verb following **أن** must agree in gender with the noun after **من شأن**. If the cause is feminine, like توعية (awareness) or حملة (campaign), the verb takes the feminine prefix (تـ):

{{item:1161822}}

{{item:1161817}}

If the cause is masculine, like دواء (medicine) or مضاد حيوي (antibiotic), the verb takes the masculine prefix (يـ):
