Out of touch
Hi teachers,
When John says to you, "I've been out of touch", does that mean:
1. You can't contact John because of the communication tools, like he may have limited access to phone, email?
2. He doesn't want you to contact them?
3. You haven't contacted John in a long time?
4. John hasn't contacted you in a long time?
5. John and I both fell apart?
Thanks

tinanam0102Hi teachers, When John says to you, "I've been out of touch", does that mean:Note his tense: I have been... he's referring to the past.
I have not kept in contact with you, or maybe anyone.
- Maybe he hasn't had access to communication tools.
- Maybe he hasn't been in the mood to communicate in general.

Hi Grammar Geek,
Thanks for your explanation.
If you're going to go on a vacation, would that be alright to say: I'll be out of touch from Saturday to the following Monday.
