Question
Hi, I was wondering if this is correct....."I backed(out) to check if I had turned off the toaster"
I mean go backwards into the kitchen or the place that I was leaving to check if I had turned off the device
..I could say i moved backwards to see if I turned it off, but if I wanted to use "back" just to mean move backwards ...is it correct?
Can u help me?
