I'm in a hurry

We all have those days when we are rushing from one thing to the next, barely catching a breath... Instead of using to the same old I’m in a hurry let’s add some flavour to your English!

In today’s newsletter, we want to teach you six new ways to express that you are in a rush — perfect for sounding less repetitive.

6 expressions to use for when you're in a hurry

Pressed for time

(to have very little time)

e.g. I’d love to chat, but I’m pressed for time today

Running late

(to be behind schedule)

e.g. Sorry, I can't talk right now. I’m running late for a meeting!

Up against a deadline

(to work fast to meet a specific time limit)

e.g. I can’t join the meeting, I’m up against a deadline

On the go

(to be busy and constantly moving)

e.g. I’m on the go right now. Can I call you back?

Short on time

(to not have enough time)

e.g. I’m short on time, so let’s keep this meeting brief
