Business Grammar

A FUNNY and useful book for language lovers! There are many grammar and usage books that give advice on correct English. This isn't one of them. The Elements of Expression targets expressiveness as a goal apart from getting it technically right. Imagine the yawns a sportscaster would induce by announcing, "His bat struck the ball and the ball went into the stands," instead of "He took that ball downtown!"

What is a phrasal verb? A phrasal verb is when you take a verb and add a preposition, but the new combination doesn’t mean what either the original verb or preposition mean. So when someone says, “We will bring up that topic at the meeting,” it doesn’t mean someone is going to carry something upstairs! Instead, the phrasal verb “bring up” means to discuss something.

One of the more difficult things about working with native English speakers is their use of expressions, or idioms. What’s a “dog and pony show”? What does it mean to “leave someone in the lurch” or to “take a beating”? Unfortunately, you can’t stop English speakers from using these idioms, so you need to understand them yourself! Each of the more than 500 idioms in this book is presented, in alphabetical order, with its meaning and a business example. Recommended for intermediate to advanced English speakers.
