- and 3. mean the same thing, but 1. means something different. It could be interpreted as "postpone the meeting that was scheduled to take place next week," but it could also mean "continue to postpone the meeting through the next week." Also note that "until the next week" and "until next week" don't necessarily mean the same thing.
Can I postpone / put off the meeting 'until' or 'to' 8 o'clock? Are 'until' and 'to' the same in the context above? Thank you!
I see no reason why you shouldn’t express it like that — although putting the date of a meeting back by only one day seems scarcely to merit the term postponement. It’s typically used to mean delaying something for an indefinite length of time, or at least to some time in the future that’s more distant than just the next day.
You can postpone a meeting to a later date but that does not mean the meeting is waiting for something. For example: you have a meeting at first hour in the morning in you decide to postpone it to make sure everyone makes it on time. It does not mean you are waiting, as all members could be there on time. Delay means there is some waiting.
OK let me explain: is the verb ' postpone ' follow by infinitive or by -ing form? postpone to do that or postpone doing that?. Are both right or only one? which one? Es decir, se escribe seguido de otro verbo en gerundio o en infinitivo con 'to'?
'put back' suggests there is something with higher priority or unexpected occurs and you have to put the plan back to the rear area of the 'plan array' . 'put off' suggests you decide not to do something at the date originally planned and postpone it to a later date.
