BUSINESS EXPRESSIONS ABOUT CHANGING PLANS: 'PUT OFF'

Happy Thursday, readers! Are you enjoying this week's lessons about business expressions?

Today we are looking at the phrasal verb TO PUT (SOMETHING) OFF. 

Definition: to postpone doing something; to procrastinate. 

Example 1: I put off writing the reports and now I'm writing them at the last minute. Bad idea!

Example 2: A customer is putting off paying us. We need to call them and ask for payment.

This phrasal verb can be separated and is transitive. 

We use PUT OFF in many situations, not just business. What is something that you're putting off that you need to do? Tell us on one of our social media sites (Facebook or Twitter).
