O que significam os phrasal verbs to put off, call off e wash out?


You need to call a meeting with your employees to sort some things out but there are many things that can happen along the way that might make the meeting a little harder or impossible to happen. 

For example, something unexpected at your kids' school comes up and you have to put off the meeting to sort it out. If you put something off like that you delay it until a later date or time. In this case, until you have finally solved all the problems with your kids at school.

If for a real lack of luck the worst-case scenario happens and the meeting becomes impossible to happen at any date and time, maybe you're forced to call it off. If you call something off, you cancel it. It can be an event, an activity, anything.

But imagine something even more unexpected happens: you and your employees decide to hold the meeting outside the office at a nice outdoor restaurant and it starts to rain. The meeting is completely washed out. You can imagine what that means right? It means it was ruined by the rain.

That's all for now. Talk to you next time.
