Hi everyone I'm Niharika and thank you for clicking on this video. Well do you have any
plans this weekend? And if you don't, do you wanna make plans with your friends or family?
Well how do you do that in English? That’s what we are going to learn in today's lesson.
We have some phrases for you that would help you to make plans. Now be it business or pleasure
or even hopes for new romance, it's important for you to make plans, right? So how do you
do that? Well, let's learn.
So the very first thing that you do, in order to make a plan is you express your interest,
right? So the first things would be expressing interests. Now probably you just meet someone,
your friend, your neighbour or your business colleague, okay. So you can say, "Hey we should
get together for coffee sometime." So you know, rather than just making a definite plan,
you can just out of courtesy, use this phrase. We should get together for coffee sometime
or we should get together for a drink, right? So, people like to go out for a drink, then
say, we can catch up for a drink. or if it's just coffee, you just want to keep it very
formal, then you gonna say," we should get together for coffee sometime." Okay, so this
phrase is a very casual one, Uhh you can use it with your business colleagues; you can
use it with your neighbours, your friends or even your family. Now this phrase doesn't
mean that you have made a definite plan, okay. It's just that out of courtesy, you're saying
that or it's just that you are expressing your interest that someday you would like
to go for a cup of coffee. Okay another one, well another one is also
pretty similar to the first one. Again you are not making a definite plan but it's just
that you are expressing interests. So you gonna say, "let's do lunch sometimes soon."
Okay so probably you meet your business colleague and you think that you can discuss business
or you can discuss something professional with this person. So the best time to do so
is if you catch up for lunch or probably for a coffee. So use this phrase, let's do lunch
sometime soon. Okay again, you are expressing your interests. It's not a definite plan that
you're making. Okay so you got it, so these two phrases you can use to express interest
in meeting someone or planning something with someone.
Let's have a look at the third one, "would you be interested for dinner tonight?" Okay
now when do you use that? Now when you think that yes you have to make a definite plan.
Okay and you settle down on something probably dinner. Okay so you pick up your phone, okay
and you say," hey what you doing tonight?" okay probably you can start your conversation
by asking, what you doing tonight? Would you be interested for dinner tonight? Okay so
that's the way you would make a plan or even invite someone. Of course it's an invitation
right? You're inviting someone for dinner, right? So this phrase you can use it for the
person that you wanna make a definite plan with. Okay, so probably it's your new date,
okay or just your friend or your family member. You can say would you be interested for dinner
tonight? Okay now if you come across this question.
Okay if someone asks you, how do you reply to this? If you feel that yes, you are on
for the plan, then you're gonna say, “oh sure that would be great."
Okay so this is the way you would reply to this invitation, okay. You gonna say, oh sure
that would be great, we can do dinner tonight. Okay the next one, do you wanna catch up for
a movie tonight? Okay so probably you wanna watch a movie, okay and you don't have company,
you're all alone and you don't wanna watch a movie by yourself. You don't want that me
time. So you call up your friend or your family member or anybody. Okay may be your neighbour,
may be someone you just met and you just want to go for a movie with that person. so you
gonna ask, "do you wanna catch up for a movie tonight?" hey watch you doing, are you free,
do you wanna catch up for a movie or do you wanna catch up for a movie tomorrow? Okay
so this is the way, you would ask someone. Again it's more like an invite, okay because
you are inviting someone for a movie, right? So go ahead, use this confidently and then,
okay now probably someone has said that, “yes sure that would be great, let's go for a movie,
let's go for dinner." now how do you set the plan, okay how do you set the time? So you
gonna say, "how about 4.30? Okay now you've already decided probably you are meeting for
a cup of coffee or you'll are meeting for a movie. So now you gonna decide on the time,
right? You want to see that the time is suitable to the other person. So the right phrase that
you gonna use is, how about 4.30? Okay does that suit your plans? Or does that suit you?
Okay, does that suit you? So how about 4.30? Or another option that you have is will 5
pm work for you? Okay again you're asking if that time is suitable, right? So will 5
pm work for you? and if it does, then the other person is gonna will say that," Oh yes
it's perfect, I'll see you at 5 pm." Okay, so go ahead use these phrases, they are very
simple. It's just that it should flow out of your mouth, when you are making a plan.
So the first two phrases would be, when you are expressing interests. Okay and may be
just out of courtesy, you say that let's catch up. Uh... the next two phrases are when you
definitely wanna make a plan. Okay so you go ahead and use these phrases and the last
ones you can use it, to decide on the time. Okay so hope you go this right, use it, and
would be very helpful because we love making plans. I’m sure you do, right? And I'll
be back with a new lesson, till then you take care.
