  • 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.
