챕터 가이드
Overview
find out crucial information, set up events or systems, and work out solutions to problems, whether they're mathematical or life-related.fill in forms correctly, point out important details that others might miss, and confidently figure out complex situations. You’ll also learn how to go through procedures or documents thoroughly.How This Grammar Works
Once you have the information, you can then set up the meeting.I'll set up a video call for next Tuesday."
Often, this involves checking everything carefully, which is when you go through documents or processes.Let's go through the entire report to find the error." Sometimes, a solution or plan will simply work out well.
In a team setting, you might point out an important observation during a discussion.I need to point out that we haven't considered the budget yet.
Finally, remember that administrative tasks often require you to fill in information.Please fill in this application form carefully." Notice how
fill in almost always involves putting *something* into a space, and if it's a pronoun like 'it', it goes in the middle: Can you fill it in by Friday?
Common Mistakes
- 1✗ Wrong: Can you fill the form in? / Can you fill in it?
fill in takes an object, especially a pronoun like 'it' or 'them', the pronoun must go between fill and in.- 1✗ Wrong: I need to discover about the problem.
find out is much more common and natural for discovering information, facts, or secrets in everyday English.- 1✗ Wrong: We need to solve the problem for the project.
figure out and work out (when referring to solutions) imply using mental effort to find an answer or resolve a difficulty, making them more specific and idiomatic than just 'solve' in many contexts.Real Conversations
