so it’s a normal day at your job but
your job is very stressful why because
you have lots of work to do you have
emails to send phone calls to make more
importantly you have a huge meeting
today you just remembered you are making
a presentation in this meeting but you
haven’t finished you haven’t even
started what can you do
okay well the time now is roughly ten to
one your meeting is at 2:00 p.m. you
have a little over an hour to prepare
it’s impossible you need more time how
can you do that okay it’s fine it’s fine
she can call her boss she can make the
meeting later how do you say that in
English like this to say you want a
meeting or event to happen later you say
these can we postpone the meeting or can
we push back the meeting how long how
long does she need maybe just one more
hour it’s fine hi yeah sorry
can we push back the meeting until 3:00
the boss he doesn’t like that at all
he wants to say no that is impossible
it’s impractical definitely no
impossible how can you say that like
this no it’s out of the question
specifically if you want to say no this
is impossible it’s impractical I’m not
going to talk about it because it’s
impossible
it won’t happen no it’s out of the
question
on the other hand you can use this in
the negative if you want to say hmm you
know that’s it’s not impossible you can
say hmm it’s it’s not out of the
he doesn’t want to wait until three he
doesn’t even want to wait until 2 p.m.
no no no he wants to make the time of
the meeting earlier how can he say that
in fact we need to bring it the meeting
forward make the meeting earlier meet me
in five minutes with an amazing
presentation so you know that to bring
something forward means to make the
meeting or the event happen earlier it’s
the opposite of to postpone something to
push something back you can also say to
put off the meeting or to put the
meeting off you can separate that
phrasal verb this is the phrasal verb
version it basically means the same
thing however it’s a bit less formal you
probably want to use postpone that’s the
more formal version of put off oh my god

terrible when people expect you to do
something but you fail and you fail hard
you do something really bad and it’s
your fault it’s your responsibility that
something bad happened he would say wow
