Inglés en el trabajo: Fechas, Horas y Descripciones

If you need to talk about meetings, schedules, prices, or the people around you at work, building that confidence starts with the essentials. This course focuses on practical, everyday English at the A1 level, giving you the tools to communicate clearly in professional settings from day one.

Why do dates and time matter in professional English?

Dates and time are part of almost every work conversation. From scheduling a meeting to confirming a training session, these are phrases you use constantly. For example, saying "The meeting is at 9 o'clock in the morning" [0:42] or "The training is on the 15th of April" [0:49] are real situations you will practice throughout the course.

Learning to express time correctly means understanding phrases like o'clock, in the morning, and on followed by a specific date. These small words, known as prepositions of time, are essential for accuracy.

How can you describe locations, people, and objects at work?

Beyond time, knowing where things are is equally important. Using prepositions of place such as next to, in, and on helps you give and follow directions in an office. Phrases like "The coffee machine is next to the office" [0:56] or "The documents are in the folder" [1:01] show how simple structures create clear communication.

What does describing people and objects look like?

Describing colleagues and everyday items is a skill you will use regularly. Adjectives are the key here. You can say "My manager is tall and serious" [1:10] to describe a person, or "This is a new, fast laptop" [1:15] to describe an object. Stacking two adjectives in a natural order makes your English sound more fluent.

How do prices and possessions come into play?

Professional conversations often involve numbers and ownership. Learning to ask "How much is the office chair?" and answer "It's $80" [1:24] covers basic price vocabulary. Meanwhile, the possessive 's structure lets you express belonging clearly: "That's Sarah's report" [1:31] or "This is the manager's office" [1:34].

What practice methods help you learn faster?

Each class pairs grammar explanations with real work examples [1:39], so nothing feels abstract. You then reinforce what you learn through exercises:

• Fill in the blanks to test recall.
• Multiple choice to build recognition.
• Challenges to push your skills further.

All practice materials are available in the playground found in the resource section of each class [1:49]. This structured approach ensures you move from understanding to actually using English with confidence.
