  • How to Use Comparatives and Superlatives for Business

    Welcome back to The Art of Business English. In this week's episode we are going to review comparative and superlative adjectives to help you improve your communication skills in a business context. Comparatives and superlatives are very important in business English since they provide a way to discuss the standards of a service or product against those of the competition or to evaluate the performance of a company through time. They are also useful when we need to describe the skills of employees or applicants wishing to work on a project. First, I am going to teach you the basic rules to form and use these adjectives, as well as some common mistakes, and then I am going to show you an example on how to use them in business contexts.

  • How to Use Past Modal Verbs for Business
    Hi, welcome to a new episode of The Art of Business English. This week we are going to take a look at past modal verbs. This is an extension of last week's episode on modals. If you didn't get a chance to see that one, then you can review it by clicking here.

    So, let's turn to past modal verbs. What are they? Well, they are important to make deductions and to show different levels of certainty about past events. Also, they are used to express criticism or unfulfilled wishes. Using these verbs correctly will help you to get moving in the right direction to speak English naturally.

    The general form for using past modals is: modal + have + past participle

    Now let's start learning how to use them in business contexts!

  • Three-word phrasal verbs with the preposition "with"

    Hi, welcome to a new episode of The Art of Business English. This week we have the first part of a mini-series on phrasal-prepositional verbs, also known as phrasal verbs with two particles, which will help you enrich your vocabulary and your understanding of native speakers.

    In the first episode we will be covering three-word phrasal verbs with the preposition "with". This means that the last word in the three-word structure is "with". Keep reading on and you will understand.

    Phrasal verbs are very common in English, especially in more informal contexts. They are made up of a verb and a particle or, sometimes, two particles. The particle often changes the meaning of the verb.

    In terms of word order, there are two main types of phrasal verbs: separable and inseparable. With separable phrasal verbs, the verb and particle can be apart or together. Phrasal verbs with two particles are inseparable. Even if you use a pronoun, you put it after the particles.

    So, let's see what we've got!
