Understanding Phrasal Verbs

Business English myths


Listen Later

In this episode I explain the myth of business English and how it is related to phrasal verbs. I give a few examples (taken from the popular business English book, Market Leader, there are thousands of phrasal verbs you could use for business.)

The examples:

1. Let's get down to business  (start and focus)
2. Could you hang on a moment please?  (wait)
3. Perhaps we could get back to the point. (return)
4. Ok, let’s go over what we’ve agreed. (review)
5. Right, to sum up then…(summarize)
6. I think we should move on now… (leave this point and continue)
7. Can we come back to that later? (return)
