To start with?
Hello, I found this dialogue in an old book about "English in Business":
A: Can I ask you to put forward our order?
B: Well, we'll see. What's the number order, please?
A: Er....
B: It's on the order acknowledgement we sent to you. It's probably a serial number starting MU and so on.
A: Oh yes, I've got it.... Er.... MU/ 9752.
-------------------------------------------------------
I wonder why we don't say, "It's probably a serial number starting with MU and so on."
Please help!
Thank you!
