    On the phone


    Il y a plusieurs façons de répondre au téléphone, mais quelques phrases sont à retenir tout particulièrement car elles reviennent souvent ou font partie des formules de politesse anglaises.

    Par exemple:  'Hang on.../Hold the line...'

    sont 2 façons de demander à la personne qui appelle d'attendre pendant que la réceptioniste va chercher la personne demandée.

    Holdthe line please, and I'll go and fetch her

    Could I speak to Mustafa, please?
     

     Hold the line, please...

     Sorry, but he's out.

     I'll just see if he's in.

    I'm afraid he's not here.

     Hang on a moment, I'll see…..

    I think he's gone shopping.

     I'll find out if he's at home.….

    Sorry, but he won't be back until Monday.
     

     Would you tell him I rang? Could you take a message? Would you ask him to call me back?

     Can you ask him to ring me

    when he gets back?
     

     I'd be glad to. Yes, of course. Certainly. With pleasure.
