Hello, and welcome to the English We Speak.
I'm Jiayin and hello.
It's me, Rob.
Hey, Jiayin.
I'm so looking forward to your party.
Well, er, you know, food, drink, dancing.
I can't wait for it.
Er, Rob, didn't you get the message?
Had to push back on the party.
Push back?
You're moving the location?
No, I mean delay it.
If you push back on something, it means you delay it until a later time.
So my party is happening later.
Oh, right.
So it's starting later, about 8:00?
No, I've had to push back by weeks, so for now I've postponed it.
Postpone is another way of saying delay until later.
