A question

Hi,

A representative of your colleague may wish to test run it before the meeting.

I'd say ... may wish to do a test run of it .... or, more formally, ... may wish to test it ...

(I assume we are not talking about a car.)

Best wishes, Cliv

My opinion is that 'test run', used as a verbal phrase, is finding its way into common use, sometimes hyphenated ('test-run').

Dear all

Excuse me,I had seen there are articles although I can't answer anything. But i have some questions

that want to ask.

What is "test run", is mean before test ?

And a word representative

If a machine ayways has a problem (The same)

when I want to maintain it whether I can say that is "a representative of problem"

thanks

Hi Jeter,

I understand the first part of your question.

We say 'test-run' when we want to check the operating system of something, like a computer program, a washing machine, a pulley system, etc. For a car, we usually say 'test-drive'. It means to test the thing before you decide to buy it , or seriously use it.
