How It Helps Your Business English
Thirty business idioms are presented one by one, each with a plain definition and two or three example sentences set at work. Several entries add a short note on the origin of the expression, from sailing, sport, theatre or cooking. Opening sections explain why idioms are difficult even for fluent speakers, and a closing set of questions covers when idioms suit formal writing.
Read the thirty entries in order, or use the table of contents to jump to the ones you have already heard at work without understanding. Focus on what each idiom signals in a conversation rather than on its words, since that is how you will have to read it in a meeting. The example sentences show the register each one carries, and the closing questions tell you when to leave an idiom out.
