another great phrasal verb for
suggesting ideas to people is to put
something to somebody for example my
proposal will be put to the Board of
Directors notice your friend said
something in this sentence the proposal
is being put to somebody in this
sentence the Board of Directors so here
they will either accept or reject this
proposal now if you'd like to persuade
somebody to accept to agree with you on
a topic or situation you could use a
phrasal verb to talk somebody around for
example I have a great proposal but my
boss keeps rejecting it I'm going to go
to his office tomorrow and I'm going to
talk you around so they finally accept
it now another phrasal verb you could
use to persuade somebody could be to
talk somebody into something if you talk
somebody into something you really
persuade them you make them do what you
want them to do it is a cunning sort of
expression so please be careful when
using this phrasal verb for example I
really didn't want to get a bigger house
but my husband talked me into it but in
the situation that you want to persuade
somebody not to do something then you
could use a phrasal verb to talk
somebody out of something for example
husband really wants to get a bigger
house but somehow I managed to talk him
out of it here and managed to persuade
him not to get a bigger house let's move

asked you to complete a task and you
accept it in this situation you could
use a phrasal verb to take something on
if you take something on it means that
you accept a project a task or something
to do for example I would love to take
on that you project but simply I've got
my hands full now if you take somebody
