More on speaking on the phone

We've already studied different expressions to speak on the phone. Today, we'll be revising them and learning some phrasal verbs we can use. Watch this episode and try to find the answer to these questions. Also, take advantage of the subtitles to revise typical expressions.

1) Why can't Mr Smith's assistant give Mr Green his phone number?
2) What does Mr Smith's assistant offer?
3) What's Mr Wilson's mobile phone number?
4) What does Mr Bradley tell Mr Wilson?
5) Why does Mr Green want to talk to Mr Smith?




Mr Green sees "I'll ring back". Ring back is a phrasal verb anstyle="font-weight:bold;">d it means "to call again". Then, Mr Bradley's secretary says "I'll put you through". "Put through" means "to connect your call to another telephone".
