988 – Talking About Schedules and Availability in English

Watch video versions of the Happy English Podcast on YouTube: Here

Sometimes you need to tell someone whether you’re free or not. And when I say free, I’m talking about time, not cost. Maybe a coworker wants to set up a meeting. Maybe a friend wants to grab dinner. Maybe someone asks, “Are you available tomorrow?” In situations like these, you don’t need to say yes or no. In everyday English, we have a few short, natural phrases that clearly show whether we are available – or not. And that’s what this English lesson podcast is all about.

FAQ
Question: What phrase can I use to talk about my availability?
Answer: When you are available, you can say I’m free, I’m open or I’m wide open, or I’m available. When you are not available, you can say I’m tied up, I’m booked or booked up, or I have something going on.
