TO CARRY SOMETHING OUT

Hello and welcome back to the Daily Vitamin. I hope you had a great weekend!

Today's expression is: to carry something out

It means: to do something that you have organised, planned or promised.
It also means: to do something that you have been told to do, like following instructions or an order.

Example 1:
Karl: Mr. Simpson, I haven't been able to carry out your orders to send the information via e-mail to our customers. I'm afraid the Internet connection is not working at the moment.
Mr. Simpson: What? Well, have you talked to the computer department? If they can't fix the problem right away, send the information by regular post.

Example 2: As a salesperson, I have to carry out visits to my clients. I try to see each one at least once a month.

Example 3: We have three weeks to carry out the project. Let's sit down now and plan how we are going to do it. It's due on March 16th.
