17 分钟Hi there, this is Harry.
Welcome back to Advanced English Lessons with Harry,
where I try to help you to get a better understanding of the English language,
to help you with your conversational skills, your business English skills,
your interview skills, whatever your goals happen to be.
We're here to help.
So in this particular lesson, we're looking at three very common verbs that you will hear and use at work.
They are check, confirm and clarify.
Check, confirm and clarify.
Now, these are not difficult words.
I'm sure you know all three of them,
but many students use them in exactly the same way and they don't always mean exactly the same thing.
So I'm going to explain the difference, give you the grammar patterns
and then give you some real work situations where you can use them.
OK, so let's start with check.
When we check something, we look at it, examine it, or find out whether it is correct.
Perhaps we're not 100% sure.
So we check.
We look again.
We ask somebody.
