Business

Dear Teachers,

1)- Nice to meet you!
- You too!

- Why don’t we use “ me too!” here?

2) You’re here on business or pleasure?

- Can I use “for” instead of “on”?

3) We gotta buy some stuffs on the way home.

- Is this natural?

4) I try my best to point out our ups and downs.

- What do “ups” and “downs” mean in this sentence?

5) I didn’t mean to come off as defensive.

- What does “come off” mean in this sentence?

Thanks very much to Teachers.

Stevenukd.

1)- Nice to meet you!
- You too!

- Why don’t we use “ me too!” here? Because we are shortening 'And it is nice to meet you too!'

2) You’re here on business or pleasure?

- Can I use “for” instead of “on”? I'd say 'for' is better as for business or for pleasure both sound ok, but when you use on business (ok) you are also including 'on pleasure' which sounds quite od
