Outage, making up to so
Hi,
1) When you need to get a certain medication and it’s temporarily not available, what would you say?
What about:
“There’s an outage for Ibuprofen.”
I know that I can stick to a simple ‘they don’t have it right now’ or ‘it’s temporarily off the market, but I was wondering if my example with ‘outage’ or something else might work as well.
2) Can I say:
“I have a lot of making up to do because I missed two weeks worth of classes.”? or is ‘have a lot of making up to do’ only used when you, for instance, neglect someone or hurt them and then want to make it up to them?
Thank you.
