italki Business English Phrasal Verbs
italki Business English Phrasal Verbs gathers more than one hundred phrasal verbs used at work, published on the blog of italki, a platform that connects learners with language tutors. The verbs are set out in eight tables by workplace function, each row giving the verb, its meaning and an example sentence. Opening sections explain how business phrasal verbs carry tone, and closing questions cover register and British and American use.
100% Free (unlimited): Reading the whole guide costs nothing and needs no account: all eight tables, the explanations of tone and register and the closing questions are open on the page. Booking a lesson with one of the platform's tutors is a separate paid service.
How It Helps Your Business English
More than one hundred phrasal verbs are arranged in eight tables by workplace function: meetings, negotiations, deadlines and projects, emails, decision-making, reporting, problem-solving and professional growth. Each row gives the verb, a short meaning and an example sentence. Notes between the tables point out verbs whose meaning changes with the context.
Take the table that matches what you do most often rather than reading all eight at once. Read the example in each row aloud, since the tables are built to be scanned and the sentence is what fixes the meaning. Watch for the verbs that appear in two tables, such as push back, and compare the rows. The closing questions tell you which expressions sound American and which sound British.
