Hi Courrier,
1. I try my level best - It is the popular statement in India.
My level best = It means that the person would try his best in getting the things done.
my level = Indicates the position of the person in the office or in the society, and he/she will put his/her efforts to solve one's problem.

2. I sorted it then and there.
I sorted it then and there itsel

Thank u so much.. however my trainer corrected me when i said i`l try my level best.. she said, there is no level in being best. best is best...
And u too saying level=very.. but y very because best is the maximum we mean in terms of doing anything..

I am not here to argue with you or her. If your trainer does not know the idiom '[url=http://www.onelook.com/?w=level+best&ls=a] level best[/url]', then find a new trainer.

Hi Lokesh,
I suggest you to forget what your trainer says. Instead, you can post your questions here in this EnglishForward site. You can get the accurate answers to all your doubts in this forums site.

You need to say:
Examples

Then and there
Now and then
Here and there
That and this .... etc.,

Regards,
Sri

'Prepone' is acceptable as standard only in Indian English. It is still jocular slang in AmE and BrE.

well i work in a call center so indian english can be incorrect at times...
And what u mean by saying jocular slang in AmE and BrE.
I have also google it once,and the result i got to see- propone word does not exist in enlish dictionary so ideally it cannot be understood by the uk people...
