Is that correct?

I have a con call at 8:00pm which is supposed to finish by 8:30pm. It's not certain that the call will end by 8:30pm.

In this case, can I say like following?

I have a call at 8:00 which is supposed to be finished by 8:30. But I'm certain that the call might even go past 9:00.

Is that correct? Sorry for the too many grammatical mistakes Emotion: smile

shaun I have a call at 8:00 which is supposed to be finished by 8:30. But I'm certain that the call might even go past 9:00. It's correct, but it's just a bit strange to be certain about what might happen (or might not ).

Thank you so much CJ!

I don't know why do I make it so complicated every time. For me it seem that avoiding too many words in a sentence makes the meaning precise and it makes the sentence beautiful.

I should learn how not to use too many words
