Grammar

The suffixes -ed/-ing

When we are talking about business, we’re fundamentally talking about selling things. But when we use the words sell or sold, we’re not always talking about business. We can also sell someone on an idea, which means convince or persuade them. For example, in today’s lesson, the client tells the agent that he’s not quite “completely sold”, which means that he’s interested in the idea, but hasn’t been totally persuaded yet.

1. How did you manage to sell your wife on the idea of a separate vacation?

2. Frankly, I’m just not sold on the strategy.

3. I’m still not really sold on the idea of mobile payments. Are they safe?

4. Our client is as good as sold on the project: we just need to nudge him over the finish line.

5. ____________________________________________________________.

DISCUSSION

Make a conversation with your teacher.
