My brother and his family will be coming into town next week. |
| Joe |
Is he the one who writes articles for the English Post ? |
| Jean |
Right, why don't you come over next Sunday to meet him. |
| Joe |
I'd love to but I can't. Can you give me a rain check !!!
|
| Jean |
Sure, they'll be here for a week. So just let me know when you can come. |
| Joe |
Ok! I will be very interested in seeing him. |
|
| Explanation : |
|
| If you say you will take a
rain check on an offer or suggestion,
you mean that you do not want to accept it straight away, but you might accept it at another time.
|
|
| Example : |
|
| I was planning to ask you in for a brandy, but if you want to take a
rain check, that's fine ....... |
