You may want to say something like \u201cthe elevator is out of order\u201d or you might say that it\u2019s \u201cout of service.\u201d  You could say this about machines used in the workplace too, like a copier or fax machine.<\/li>\n<li>If you find that there is no electricity: You want to let people know that you are without power. You might say that \u201cwe  lost power\u201d or \u201c\u2018the power is out.\u201d This would apply if it happened on its own and you don\u2019t have any control over it. This can apply to something at an office, or even if you are stuck in traffic and the stoplight is out. If you did it on purpose or there was a reason for it,  then you might say \u201cthe power is off.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>If you are on your phone and it\u2019s about to run out of battery: You are trying to say that your phone is about to die. You might say that \u201cmy battery is running out.\u201d You\u2019re letting people know and you want to articulate that your battery is running out and you need to charge it up.<\/li>\n<li>If your battery is completely dead: You can\u2019t use the device like your phone or your laptop and you want to say this. You might say \u201cmy battery died\u201d or \u201cmy battery is dead.\u201d It may sound informal but it\u2019s good to be on the same level with your coworkers. <\/li>\n<li>If your car isn\u2019t working properly: You can\u2019t use your phone so you would say \u201cmy car broke down.\u201d This is to say that your car isn\u2019t working and you can\u2019t use it. You need that preposition of  \u201cdown\u201d because it sounds better and flows easier. <\/li>\n<li>When you can\u2019t hear somebody suddenly on a call: You want to let the other person know that you can\u2019t hear them. So you would say something like \u201cyou\u2019re breaking up\u201d or \u201cyou\u2019re cutting out.\u201d It lets them know that their voice trailed off, and now you can\u2019t hear them anymore. This happens a lot so it\u2019s an important one to  know and use!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These phrases can really help you to let others know what\u2019s going on, and this is a great way to connect.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>Preparation Is Key<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the subtleties of English that will help to connect you. <\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t want to pretend that<br \/>\neverything is okay when it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<p>You have to get up the courage to<br \/>\nlet somebody know when something isn\u2019t working.<\/p>\n<p>This is a really important thing to focus on, particularly within <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/aee-554-learn-give-take-business-success-english\/\">business English. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t move forward if things aren\u2019t working the right way, and now you know how to address these things. <\/p>\n<p>You may not always have the answers, but at least you know how to let others know what is going on.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>Takeaway<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re in a business setting, strange situations come up from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>You may find that things are broken or go wrong, and you want to know how to talk about this in English.<\/p>\n<p>These phrases and this background will help you to be prepared to discuss these things when the situation occurs.<\/p>\n<p>Though things may be out of your control, having the courage and preparation to speak up and alert others can be really helpful. <\/p>\n<div style=\"height:77px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>Steve\u2019s Bio<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Steve Ford is an online English teacher whose<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/PrivateEnglishPortal\"> YouTube channel<\/a> has been watched by more than 20 million people worldwide.
