Making plans to meet up with people is important, especially when we have different schedules or activities. We can make plans to see friends, family, teachers, doctors, or for other formal purposes.

It’s important to remember that when making a formal appointment, we should use polite language and avoid using text messages. On the other hand, when making plans with close friends or family, we can use a more casual tone.

Here are some common expressions in English that you can use when making an appointment:

• Let’s set a date.
• How about we meet on [date and time]?
• Can we schedule a time to meet?
• I’d like to make an appointment to see [person or professional].
• Let’s plan to get together soon.
• Are you free tonight?
• Can we hang out tomorrow?
• Is next Thursday good for you?
• Can we meet on Wednesday?
• Would tomorrow work for you?
• Thursday sounds great!
• Can you confirm if this date and time works for you?
• Sorry, I can’t make it tonight.
