"confirmation" -- "to confirm something" is to

make something certain usually an

arrangement or a meeting. This can be

done via writing an email or over the

phone. So if we have arranged a meeting a

few weeks ago the day before our meeting

I might phone you to confirm that the

meeting is still happening to make

certain that the meeting is still

happening. If you make a reservation over

the phone, you may be told that they will

confirm your reservation via email, they

will send you the reservation details

over email to make certain that it's

booked. So confirmation is the noun the

email or the phone call which makes

certain that something is happening. And

confirm is the act of providing

confirmation, so when I confirm, I provide

confirmation. Confirm can also mean to

prove that something is true. For example,

"The delicious smell of food coming from

the kitchen confirmed that someone was

cooking" or "The police confirmed there

had been an incident on Friday night. So

there you have it "confirm" and

"confirmation" don't forget this is one of

many bite-sized business English lessons.
