You check your calendar and notice a new meeting: F2F at 14:00. This will be the second back-to-back meeting after a huge presentation. It’s probably best to move the F2F to another time. How will you communicate this?
When we talk about actions that will continue up until a point in the future, we use the future perfect continuous tense. It’s almost like looking back at the past from the future and thinking, “That sure is a lot of Zoom calls.”

Which one is it? “I understand that implementing this feature is crucial to the project. _________, the said featureuses a lot of memory.”
The linking word “however” is used to introduce an idea that is different from the previous one or contradicts it.

Colleagues suggest sending the bug to the backlog, but you see that it has a major influence on a critical process. How do you express your concern in professionally worded terms?

You notice some panic in the office and ask a co-worker running past what happened. He replies, “The prod is down.” How do you ask him whether that’s true or not?

After everything was fixed, some information in the app seems to be missing. In particular, the news tab is gone. How can you tell others about this?
“News” is a tricky word. It has an “-s” indicating that it must be a plural form of a noun, yet it is singular and uncountable. That’s why in the present simple tense, “news” is paired with “is”, “does” and “has”.

It seems the best way out is to revert to the latest stable version. You can reassure your colleagues that it’s not a big deal. Choose the right option.

All others are sharing their results for this sprint. You want to throw in a screenshot too, but realize you don’t have access to the Miro board. How to ask for it as politely as possible?
The modal verb “would” is often used in conditional sentences, but we can also use it to make polite requests or ask for permission. If you don’t want to come off as rude, you can go the extra mile and say, “Would it bother you? Would you mind? Would it be OK?”

After the meeting, a colleague comes up to your desk and asks, “Do you have the bandwidth to help me with this bug?” Your work log is already full. Choose an answer that will help you not to stay up too late.
You are trying to imagine a situation in the present or near future. It’s not likely to happen, so it’s best to use the second conditional: if + past simple, would + infinitive without “to”.
