Wait a moment · I need a little time
Ever feel like you need just a *tiny* bit more time before you can tackle the next thing? 🤯 This is your go-to phrase! It's polite, common, and lets the other person know you're almost ready but need a brief pause. Think of it as hitting a mini 'pause' button! ⏸️✨
💡 **Pro Tip!** While 'give me a minute' literally means 60 seconds, it's usually used more loosely, meaning 'a short while' or 'a few moments.' So don't panic if it takes you 90 seconds! 😉 It's perfect for when someone asks for immediate help but you're in the middle of something small.
Your friend asks you to help with something right away, but you're just about to save your work on your computer. Which English expression would you use? A. Give me a minute. B. Good job! C. I'm busy.
