第2集:外企工作对话

Hello everyone! Welcome to today's lesson.

The sentence we are going to learn is "Those offices were set up in the past two years".

Let me repeat it again for you to capture every word.

Those offices were set up in the past two years.

Those offices were set up in the past two years.

Do you understand the sentence? Well, let's focus on the expression "set up".

"Set up" is a phrasal verb which means to build or make something.

For example, it could mean to "set up offices," or to "set up the desk,"

we could even say "set up the mood," it's often used if you are planning to do something romantic.

One thing to pay attention to is that we should be careful when we want to use it with people.
