In this episode I have chosen 4 business phrasal verbs that use the preposition "down". The preposition down can mean a few things but one the main categories is to reduce.

Remember we can sometimes find logic in the phrasal verb by looking at the preposition. So, here are the 4 we are going to look at:

To tone down - reducir el tono
To whittle down - reducir
To play down - restar importancia a
To put something down to - atribuir

I hope that you find this useful. Rememeber that it's just as important to understand these as well as to use them so that the next time you are in a meeting or on a phonecall you can figure out what someone is trying to say.
