And it’s no harm from time to time, during the meeting, to summarise.

Or at the very end of the meeting, you really want to summarise the key points that have been made, the action points that you have, and more importantly, who’s going to take responsibility for each of those individual action points.

So here are some of the phrases that you might need. 

I think this is a good place to stop or to end, we can pick up again the next day.

Okay, we’ve finished point three, we’ll pick up from point four from tomorrow.

It’s really important. When we’re talking about online meetings that we do summarise. It’s important that everybody knows where they are. Particularly, when we’ve got a lot of people that are participating.

If they’re coming from many different countries, it’s really important. They know where you started, where you ended, what happened is at the end of the meeting, is it going to continue another time, particularly if they’ve got a job to do? What are you asking them to do? What has been agreed so that everybody knows what would happen next?

Okay, so, online meetings, must-have English phrases for online meetings. Really good to know the language that you can use.

Hopefully, you’ve enjoyed that. As I said before, if you want to contact me, then you can do so on www.englishlessonviaskype.com. I’m really happy to hear from you anytime with some suggestions that you might have these words that we use today. I’m sure they’ll be of use to you, particularly in the modern world when lots and lots of meetings have moved online to Zoom in everything else.

And of course, if you want online English lessons on a one-to-one basis, or for fmaily members, or friends, or colleagues, it won’t always be me that will be giving the lesson. But we’ll be delighted to hear from you.
