:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: LESSON NOTES ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
If you use English in real life, at your job or even if you have a native English teacher that you communicate to in English and make plans for your next class in English, then you are going to need these Phrasal Verbs to communicate better.
1. Put off
This can mean “delay” or “postpone”, so if you have a plan to do something on a specific day at a specific time and in the end you decide that you want to do it at a later time because it is not possible now, then you put off your plans.
Examples:
- I’m sorry, I can’t attend the meeting because an important client is visiting tomorrow, Can we put it off until Friday?
- I decided to start making YouTube videos two years ago but I put it off until few months ago.
2. Put Back
This also means that you make your appointment later. Imagine we have arranged to have a coffee on Wednesday, I might say: I’m really sorry but I've got so much work to do that I’m going to have to put it back until Sunday.
If you were writing this appointment in your diary and you wanted to put it back, you would need to go closer to the back of your diary to register the date of the new appointment.
Examples:
- Can we put it back until next week?
- Can we put it back a week?
3. Bring forward
This often causes confusion with speakers of English as a Second Language, because some people think the word "forward" means into the future, but no, we are using the work “bring” that means towards me, bring forward means that you make your appointment earlier. If we had an appointment on Wednesday I could tell you...
- I’m really, really sorry I can’t meet on Wednesday, can we bring it forward to Tuesday?
- Could we bring it forward a day?
4. Call Off
This is the worst because it means you canceled your plans or your appointment.
Examples:
- We had to call off the meeting, because the problem was already solved
- We called the meeting off
You can use call off both as a separable phrasal verb and a non-separable phrasal verb:
- I called off a party once, because nobody could attended.
- Nobody could attend so I called the party off.
