Lindsay McMahon 1:10
How's it going?
Michelle Kaplan 1:11
Good to see you too, Lindsay. Everything is good over here.
Lindsay McMahon 1:14
How are you? I'm feeling great today, Michelle, but I have a question for you. Yes. So do you typically wake up well before you start working or do you just get out of bed in pajama pants, go to your laptop and start working?
Michelle Kaplan 1:28
That's funny that you say that. So it depends on the day. It depends if I'm working at home or if I'm going out to my husband's office. And so it depends. But I am not one of those people that wakes up and has a peaceful morning and wakes up before my kids. That I don't do.
Lindsay McMahon 1:49
It's like you see in commercials, like sitting in your picture window with your coffee staring at the sunrise. That's not you, Michelle? That is not me.
Michelle Kaplan 1:56
I wish you could see it. I wish you could see what my mornings are like. It's not peaceful. It's not good. But we get out the door and then once my kids get dropped off, then I can go and move on.
Lindsay McMahon 2:13
Yeah, I think a lot of our listeners have kids and families, so they get what you're saying. You know, chaos in the home between 6 and 8 a.m., right? I mean, that's crazy. So Michelle, what are we getting into today?
Michelle Kaplan 2:24
So today we are going to teach something that came from a role play that we did on the Business English podcast. And we're going to give you the number for that later. But Business English Podcast, guys, if you haven't checked it out yet, you are missing out. We teach so much over there relating to business. But one of the things is that we don't say, this is only business English because business is real life and you're real people even when you're at work. So this is not you know, we teach things that can be good for out of the office as well with a focus on what's important for work.
Lindsay McMahon 3:02
Yeah, exactly. On that show, our main, so you guys know our main idea is connection, not perfection. And what that means in business is it means relationships. So we show you how to build relationships in business over there. So guys, open up your search bar right now, wherever you're listening, type in business English, you'll see the yellow pop up, hit that follow button right away. And we'll let you know which episode it was at the end. So Michelle, what should we do here? Do we have a little mini role play we want to show our listeners?
Michelle Kaplan 3:29
Let's do the role play. So this is actually how it was used on that Business English episode. So let's read it. All right.

How can you express actions happening well before or after something?

Michelle Kaplan 3:38
Yes. He said the shipments will be in early... Wow, that's great. Before the deadline? Well before.
Lindsay McMahon 3:46
Okay. That gives our listeners a little context, right?
Michelle Kaplan 3:49
Yes. So that is how it was used. And it's one of those situations where I didn't plan it for, you know, with the idea of doing another episode on it. Sure. But we realized when we were reading it, oh my gosh, this is so useful.
Lindsay McMahon 4:06
Yes.
Michelle Kaplan 4:06
And that we should do a whole episode on it. So, Lindsay, what did you mean by... well before.
Lindsay McMahon 4:12
Yeah. So as our listeners probably can see from the context, what I mean by well is what I meant is a lot, like way before the deadline, right? It's not like it's going to be happening right before the deadline. We have a lot of buffer time.
Michelle Kaplan 4:27
Right.
Lindsay McMahon 4:28
Yes.
Michelle Kaplan 4:28
Before I like that buffer time.
Lindsay McMahon 4:30
Yeah.
Michelle Kaplan 4:30
So, I mean, Lindsay, do you, would you say that you typically might use the word well like this?
