Welcome to another episode of ITI English Phrases

Today we'll look at how “get back to someone”

Can help to buy you more time in difficult situations

“Get back to someone” means you will reply later

This is useful when you cannot respond straightaway

Such as when you're busy or asked a difficult question

For example, imagine a customer requests a big discount

You could say:

“Let me check with my boss and I'll get back to you about that”

Notice the pattern “get back to someone about something”

This phrase works in writing as well

For instance, let's say your colleague messages you:

A: “Our supervisor is asking for an update”

You could reply:

B: “No problem. I'll get back to her later today.”

Notice how the time is added after the phrase

So now you know how to use “get back to someone”
