This week our question comes from Peter in Beijing. He wants to know the difference between the words quote and offer.
Quote
Example: Can you give me a quote?
When you give someone a quote it is the price you would charge to do a piece of work.
You might hear someone say:
? write you a quote
? put together a quote
? give you a quote
Offer
Example: Let me make you an offer.
When you make someone an offer it is the price that you would like to pay for something.
You might hear someone say:
? make an offer
? make me an offer
? let me make you an offer
