오늘의 영어 공부: How to update on progress
Remember that the word actually means 'in fact' or 'really':
- I haven't actually started the project yet.
- Actually, my surname's Henson, not Huson.
We often use really to make what we are saying softer or less direct:
- I haven't really met the target we agreed don.
- I don't really like the design.

Sorry you have been left to deal with this on your own. How are you getting on? Is there anything you'll need help with in order to meet the deadline?

When we talk about progress, we often use the present perfect with yet and already to say which things we have done and which things we have not yet done.
- We've already planned the first phase of the project.
- We haven't contracted any new employees yet.
We use the adverbials so far and up to now to talk about oru progress until the moment we are speaking.
- I've met about four customers so far.
- Up to now I haven't had time to look at your offer
We often use the expression to meet a date / taret with the present perfect to talk about our progress.
- Unfortunately, our suppliers haven't met the date again.
- We're celebrating as our sales people have met their targets this year.
- behind schedule
- past the deadline
- keep sb posted
