Episode Title | Giving Opinions in a Meeting |
Phrase | point |
Text | The word "point," in this podcast, refers to the final or most important purpose of something: "That's precisely my point." Or, "I don't see the point in continuing to argue about this." "Point" can also be used to refer to a small mark, such as a period at the end of a sentence, or the tip of an object, such as the sharp end of a pencil. Points are also used when keeping score during a game or on an exam: "He scored ten points during last night's basketball game." Or, "Her parents are very proud of her because she earned 97 points on the exam." When used as a verb, "to point" means to extend a finger and gesture toward an object far away: "I couldn't find the stars he was talking about until he pointed to them." |
