 Hello, students. It's Shayna, your teacher at EspressoEnglish.net, and the phrasal verb of the day is call off. I hope you're ready to learn another phrasal verb with me today. And remember, if you want to learn English even faster, I have a number of courses that can help you do that. I have courses in speaking, listening, vocabulary, as well as a course specifically on phrasal verbs called phrasal verbs in conversation. So if you'd like more information, then click on the link in this video or in the description and you can see the list of available courses and sign up today. All right, let's learn about call off. Does this phrasal verb mean A, ask someone to leave, B, cancel a plan or event, or C, not take responsibility? Only one of these definitions is correct. So I'm going to describe a situation where we would use the phrasal verb call off, and I want you to guess what it means, A, B or C, and you can post your guess in the comments and then keep watching to find out if you're right. So let's say you want to take a road trip with your friends. A road trip means traveling by car all around the country and visiting various places. But unfortunately, as you're organizing the details for this road trip, you and your friends start arguing about certain things. Some people want to take the road trip in June. Other people prefer to go in August. Some of you want to stay in nice hotels and others prefer to go camping. So you've been arguing a lot and you just can't seem to agree on anything. So eventually in, at one point, you just tell your friends, hey, listen, everyone, if we can't agree on the details for this road trip, then we should just call it off. Okay, so based on that situation, what do you think it means to call off A, B or C? Post your guess in the comments and I'll tell you the right answer in just a second. The correct definition for call off is B to cancel a plan or event. So in the example I described, you, you say that you should cancel the road trip since you and your friends can't agree on the details because you've been fighting about it. It would be better to cancel it, call it off, not go on the road trip like you were planning. You'll often hear this phrasal verb used for sports games and other outdoor events that get called off because of bad weather. So if there's going to be a baseball game or a parade, but then it's raining really hard, then you would probably call off the baseball game or call off the parade. You would cancel it because of the bad weather. So now you know what the phrasal verb call off means. I'd love to see you use this phrasal verb in your own sentence. So post a comment and try to use it in your own example.
