English Phrasal Verbs: Put Off - Explanation and Examples

-------

TRANSCRIPT

And I used this phrase in one of my other videos, so let's have a look at how I used it..

Now I hear reasons why English learners want to put off starting this journey.

So, in the video I said, "I hear reasons why English learners
want to put off starting this journey."

So, to put something off or to put off doing something means to postpone it; to do it at a later time. Let's have a look at some more examples of this phrasal verb:

I keep putting off going to the dentist - so this means I continue to put off (going) it happens over and over again. My friend's boss has put off the meeting until tomorrow so my friends boss has postponed the meeting until tomorrow - and then talking about homework - I'm sure a lot of people will relate to this -I always put it off until the last minute; I always put it off until the last minute.

So, my question for you in this video is this: What have you put off doing recently? What have you put off doing recently?

Leave your answers below this video - thanks for watching and see you next time!
