A: The phrase"You bet there'll be consequences" means something like if you were to say I went into the woods but there are wolves and so there is a chance of me getting hurt. (I'm so sorry I tried my best to explain this)

A: @minkee123
If you’re trying to say that something is the consequence of what someone did, then you could say something like,
“You’ll see the consequences of your actions later.”
Between the two you mentioned,
“What you will see is a tough consequence,” and “What you will see is of a touch consequence,” the first one sounds more natural.
Again, I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here though. I can’t imagine an American person saying, “what you will see is a tough consequence,” unless they were following it up with something like, “what you’ll see is a tough consequence of the actions of these men,” or something like that. Consequence(s) is something that happens as a result of something else. Most of the time people use the word as a negative, like if you steal, the consequence is prison. People often use the word like it has a similar if not the same meaning as punishment.

A: Implication is the conclusion that is gathered from something without it being stated. You can use it in the term 'implied'.

"I am implying that you didn't do your homework due to the lack of knowledge."

Consequence is the result of something.

"As a consequence for the lack of homework you have done, you failed the test."

Hope that helps.

A: consequence - negative outcome
result - neutral outcome

A: @misokatsu: Both words share a common meaning in that it refers to what comes after an event. The difference is in the connotation. Consequence usually carries a suggestion of something potentially or actually negative. You wouldn't expect someone to say, "as a consequence of your excellent work in the last project, you're getting promoted!" The phrase "face the consequences" also has a negative meaning.

Result is more regularly used in conversation. Ex. "As a result of your hard work, you got a good grade" It is neutral and can be both negative or positive.

A: Consequence is usually a negative outcome (Such as being punished).
Result is an outcome.

"If you fail your test, you will face the consequences."
"Later today, you will get your test result."

A: "Subject to.." Can mean two things;

1. Having the tendency/likeness to be affected by something that is usually unpleasant.
i.e, "The country's economy is subject to decline in the next couple of years." = this sentence implies that "the country's economy" has the probability to fall …in the next couple of years.

2. Roughly like, "Determined by.." — means what was mentioned is reliant on (something.)
i.e, "The proposed laws are subject to the approval of the president." = this implies that the "proposed laws" are relying on the "president's approval".

It seems to me that in your sentence, "…subject to.." means the latter.

"The consequences of interaction can be difficult to foresee because they are subject to academic backgrounds of both parties." = this implies that the "consequences" are difficult to anticipate because they are being determined by/reliant to the "academic backgrounds"

A: consequence

A: @yh2481: you will pay for the consequences.

A: Yeah, it sounds natural, but it's like how an author writes, not like every day speech that people use.

A: Severe is an adjective, meaning very serious, strict or harsh, so "face" is the verb and "severe consequences" is the object. And I'm not entirely sure what you mean by the second part, but "suffer the consequences" is different grammatically because "suffer" is a verb and not an adjective.
Does that help at all?

A: I just changed the word "expected" because if you think about it that would be like saying that only after finding 200 dollars in her bank account did she "expect" the consequences. You can only expect something before it happens... if that makes sense

A: No neither of them are too formal. Both "result" and "outcome" are used frequently ^^

A: It's hard to tell without context, but I'd say "Consequently, their habit is not only harmful to their health but also to those living around them."
