Welcome to the English we speak with me Neil and me fey fey we have an expression which is used to say that something is perfect the best it can be or relevant it's on point.

On point. How do we use it, Neil?

I gave a presentation last week to my colleagues on digital sales strategy and my boss was

really impressed. He said my workshop was on point.

Great. Your presentation was really good and you gave perfect explanations.

Thanks. I was also wearing a clean suit and freshly iron shirt. I looked on point.

You did look very smart.

Let's hear some more examples.

My cauliflower bake was really on point at the vegan wedding.

My boss's comments about improving business profits were on point.

My beard looks on point after using a new lotion.

You're listening to the English we speak from BBC Learning English and we're learning

the expression on point which is an informal way of saying that something is at the best level that it could be or even perfect.

Yes, on point can also be used to mean that something is perfectly appropriate for a situation.

For example, the perfect comment at the right time could be described as on point.

Yes, like when a teacher or boss gives you advice that really helps you. You could say the advice was on point.

Exactly. When I was younger, my teacher advised me to focus on English as that was my strong

subject. Her advice was on point. Now I'm an English teacher.

You certainly are. Thank you for listening. Goodbye.

Bye.
