1072 - How to Use “That Works” Naturally
About this episode
This episode explores the various ways the verb 'work' is used in everyday American English to discuss acceptability and convenience.
That works. Works for me. Does that work? That doesn’t work for my schedule. Did you notice, these expressions all use the verb work, but they’re not about having a job. In everyday American English, we often use work to talk about whether a time, a plan, an idea, or a solution is acceptable, convenient, or possible. So if someone says, “Friday works for me,” they don’t mean Friday has a job. They mean Friday is good for their schedule. And that’s what we’re going to look at today.
