  • Welcome back to top words.

  • My name is Alicia and today we're going to talk about 10 phrase a ll verbs for the office.

  • These air 10 phrase of herbs that I hope you can use at work and in your conversations about business.

  • Let's go kickoff.

  • The first word is kick off.

  • Kick off.

  • To kick off means to start something.

  • It usually has the nuance of something big, like a big project, like we're going to kick off a new project next year.

  • Or let's kick off this new policy in January.

  • Or what time should we kick off the party as well?

  • We can use it for parties, too.

  • But for business, it means to start a project to start something new.

  • And it sounds like the beginning to something big.

  • So kick off to kick off.

  • Something means to start something set out.

  • The next brazel verb is set out.

  • Set out means decide or determine or choose something so we usually use set out to mean to decide something within a project.

  • For example, we need to set out some guidelines for this project, or we need to set out some rules for dress code in the company.

  • Or what do you think about setting out some new guidelines?

  • Four company parties, for example, So set out means to decide something and determine something usually like a policy rule guideline check in the next raisel verb is check in.

  • So check in means update or give a status report to share new information.

  • Check in about something we usually say to check in about blah, blah, blah.

  • So, ah, for example, what time should we check in about the project?

  • Or do you have time to check in about this later, or when can I check in with you?

  • We can also use it to refer to a person.

  • So can I check in with you about this later, or will you check in with me later?

  • We usually say, check in with please be careful.

  • This is different from check in to a hotel, totally different meeting here at work.

  • Check in with someone, or check in about something S O check in with someone means to give someone an update to share new information with them.

  • Check in about means to share new information, probably with someone like in a meeting about a specific project so you can use check in with or check in about something.

  • Go through, go over.

  • The next one is go through or go over.

  • We can use Go through or go over.

  • These both mean to review something like, I want to go through your essay with you or I want to go over the latest draft with you.

  • I want to go through our new policies with everyone in the company.

  • I want to go over some changes that are going to happen.

  • So it means review usually like review, Plus maybe explain.

  • It means to do this in detail, usually too, so introduced some new ideas, review some old ideas, perhaps, and have a chance to discuss things.

  • So to go through or to go over is sort of to examine, to review, to look at some information with somebody.

  • So we can also say I want to go over this with you later, or can we go through this together later?

  • So it means to look in detail to examine something clock in clock out.

  • The next pair of expressions really is clock in and clock out clock in is to check in at your office to clock in means to begin your work day officially to register the time you begin work and to clock out is the opposite.

  • To register the time when you leave work when you finish work for the day.

  • So when you you maybe depending on your office you have to clock in.

  • In other words, register or record the time you begin work or arrive at your office and clock out.

  • So record the time you leave your office.

  • So ah, in a sentence, we could say I always forget to clock in to work.

  • Or what time did I clock out yesterday?

  • I totally forgot.

  • Or it's important to clock in and clock out at the same time every day.

  • Start up.

  • Okay, so the next phrase over biz start up.

  • Start up means begin to begin something.

  • Please be cautious.

  • Start up something like start up a new policy or start up.

  • A new project means to begin a new project.

  • However, you may see the noun expression no space between start and up.

  • Start up.

  • Maybe you can hear the slight difference in pronunciation.

  • When I say the phrase a verb start up.

  • There's a disconnect between the words like we need to start up.

  • A new project, for example, however, start up is a little bit different.

  • Start up as a noun means a usually small new company.

  • It's big in the news these days.

  • Startups.

  • Eso startup companies are very small companies.

  • They're just beginning.

  • That's the nuance of a startup company.

  • That's the noun phrase.

  • A startup.

  • However, to start up something sounds a little bit different, like we should start up some new projects this year.

  • It's more used for, like, policies, projects, maybe a new product launch.

  • Um, we should start up some new things, for example, but it means to begin to begin something.

  • Call back the next phrase over biz.

  • Call back.

  • Call back.

  • Call back means to return a phone call to return.

  • A phone call is call back.

  • So some common examples air.

  • Just, uh, I'll call you back later, or please call me back when you have time.

  • Um, you can separate call and back like I just said, please call me back When you have time, you can separate the person receiving the call you can separate call and back and put the person receiving the call between call and back.

  • So please call me back when you have time or I'll call you back.

  • So this person between call and back is the person receiving the call.

  • So ah, you should call her back later.

  • Or, um, why don't you call your mother back tonight, for example, you can separate these two.

  • That's fine.

  • One more example Sentence would be.

  • I need to call my clients back this afternoon.

  • Send over.

  • The next expression is send over.

  • Send over means to email or to physically mail something to send over.

  • It means to send to someone else's office or to send to someone else's computer.

  • Send it over.

  • There is the idea, sending it away from you over to a different building or to a different department.

  • Please send this over when you have a chance.

  • So again, just as with call back, we can use the expression send over separately.

  • We can separate these two words.

  • Please send this over.

  • Please send the files over.

  • Please send the documents over, or please send over the documents.

  • Both are fine.

  • We can use both of them here.

  • So send over Just means male or send something in another example.

  • Sentence.

  • Hey, can you send over the updated files?

  • Cleanup Clean out The next phrase a LL verb is really a pair.

  • It's clean up or clean out.

  • We can use clean up and clean out these air a little bit different, but I put them together because they both use the word clean.

  • So to clean up something means to tidy or to make it nice again to clean up something like you need to clean up your house.

  • We can also use this at home meaning like to wash windows air to to wash dishes or two to make something tidy and clean to get rid of germs to keep germs away, to clean up your house, to clean up your office to clean up your desk.

  • There's a similar phrase all verb, however clean out to clean out means to remove everything from some location.

  • So if I say unclean ing out my desk, it has the nuance of I'm removing everything from my desk.

  • Maybe I'm leaving my job.

  • For example.

  • Maybe I've quit.

  • Or maybe my desk just has a lot of things I don't need.

  • But clean out has the nuance of removing a lot of things.

  • We can also use this phrase over back home like clean out your closet.

  • I'm cleaning out my closet, so it cleaning out my closet.

  • In that case, it means removing everything from your closet.

  • The same nuance applies to your desk, so to clean out your desk at work means to remove everything.

  • You can also use this for the refrigerator like I need to clean out the refrigerator.

  • It smells really bad.

  • So meaning Take everything out, clean it and maybe put some things back.

  • So clean up is just to tidy.

  • Clean out is like a deep clean of something.

  • Make up for the next phrase over biz.

  • Make up, make up usually make up.

  • Four.

  • Please be careful, not makeup as in like things that we put on our face to change our appearance makeup, but make up for something so to make up for means to compensate, to compensate.

  • So if there has been a problem in a project, for example, like a delay or a schedule change or some some unexpected thing happens and you need to compensate for that.

  • You need to make some changes to fix that problem.

  • You can use the phrase over make up for.

  • So, for example, our project was delayed because our president got sick.

  • For example.

  • We need to make up for lost time.

  • So we follow make up for with the item.

  • Ah, that is the problem.

  • So in my example sentence, we need to make up for lost time.

  • Lost time is the problem.

  • We lost time.

  • It should be a noun phrase.

  • We lost time on the project.

  • We need to compensate for it.

  • So we need to make up for lost time.

  • Or we need to make up for the mistake that we made last week.

  • Or we need to make up for lost sales last quarter, for example.

  • All right, so those are 10 phrase will verbs that you can use in the office.

  • I hope that those air useful for you, like I said, some of them you can use at home as well.
