TO GET TO THE POINT: meaning and examples
Good morning.
Today we're going to end our series of Daily Vitamins about
GET with a very common expression that is useful when someone is talking too much!
Today's expression is:
to get to the point
It means: to say or state the most important part of what you are saying and not waste time with unnecessary details.
Example 1:
Our work meetings are always so long because people are always telling stories and anecdotes instead of
getting to the point.
Example 2:
Could you
get to the point please. I don't have all day to sit here and listen!
Example 3:
I'm trying to
get to the point, but I can't if you keep interrupting me!
If you have any questions about today's expression, or any other
GET expressions that we have covered this week (or if you would like to make a suggestion), please don't hesitate to
contact me.
Have a good day and an excellent weekend!
