TO MAKE A DEAL

Good morning. I hope you had a good weekend.

About a month ago, we received the following question from Margot:

Hi Matthew,
I would like to ask a question; I have a doubt. I would like to know how is "hacer un trato" in English.
Thanks a lot. Bye.
Margot 

Today's Expression is: To make a deal.

It means: to make a formal agreement, especially in business or politics.

We can also say do a deal, cut a deal, reach a deal or strike a deal.

Example 1:
We've made a deal with California on wine imports. We will now be able to export more Spanish wines to them.

Example 2:
The unions and management reached a deal late last night. Therefore, the workers will not go on strike.

Example 3:
(John speaking with his six-year-old son)
I'll make you a deal. If you clean your bedroom, you can stay up late tonight. 

Thanks for the questions Margot. If anyone has further questions about today's Daily Vitamin, please post them in the Daily Vitamin Plus! forum section on our website.

I'll see you tomorrow.
