Phrase | order |
Text | The word "order," in this podcast, means a command or instruction about what one must do: "The police officers issued an order for everyone to stay inside the building until the criminal could be found." The word "order" can also refer to the arrangement or layout of something: "Please file these papers in alphabetical order." Or, "The important dates are listed in chronological order." An "order" is a request for the items one wants to buy: "Where's the order for Table 7? They're still waiting for those pancakes." Or, "We just received a purchase order for five new trucks." Finally, the exclamation "Order!" is used to get people's attention and get them to stop talking so that a meeting can begin or continue: "Order! The judge is ready to make her announcement." |
