Five Key Phrasal Verbs for Business Meetings

Phrasal verbs are not just a combination of words; they are unique expressions with meanings that often defy direct translation. Understanding them as inseparable units is crucial for effective communication. The key to mastering phrasal verbs is to immerse yourself in their usage rather than relying on literal translations.


In the context of business meetings, we discussed five essential phrasal verbs. "Follow up" is all about checking the status of a process or communication, ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks. "Look into" involves thorough examination, often used when problem-solving is necessary. "Set up" encompasses arranging, planning, or establishing the foundation for various endeavors. "Back up" means providing support, evidence, or reinforcement for proposals and arguments. "Wrap up" signifies bringing a meeting to a close, summarizing the discussion and its outcomes.


Key Takeaways:


  • Phrasal verbs are not to be taken apart; they should be understood as single units.
  • Literal translations of phrasal verbs can lead to confusion.
  • In business meetings, key phrasal verbs like "follow up," "look into," "set up," "back up," and "wrap up" are invaluable for clear and concise communication.
