I can't understand this phrasal verb.
I have heard somwhere this phrasal verb. I think that it was on TV some time ago.
But I can't translate this phrase when I want to put into this sentence verbs to talk to or to speak to.

And does a verb "to go over" mean to change a topic of the news on TV, to go from one topic to another?

Best regard,
Simon

Hi Simon,

You have to imagine in this test that this is a situation in a radio or tv studio and the presenter is now going to let the weather forecaster speak. I used the expression go over to and originally explained this in the October reply as speak/talk to. This means in effect that the presenter is transferring the connection to another speaker. Possibly you have watched television at the time of an important incident/event in the world and the television company has several reporters in different parts of the place where the incident occurred. The main presenter will then say: And let's go over to our reporter in the town centre/ And now let's go over to our reporter in a helicopter overlooking the town ...
Hope this helps.

[Lourdes]

OK, go over means "speak to", my question is how can I use this phrase when I say: "Ok, let's go over the answers"

[Alan]

Hi,

Verbs plus prepositions or particles such as 'go over' can have several meanings. Let's make a distinction here. 'Let's go over to' suggests: Let us now move from here to our forecaster and talk to her. 'Let's go over' on its own suggests: Let's look again at something.

Dear Alan,

I did the test exercises regarding the weather forecasting.I got 9 out of 10 correctly.
I made the first wrong one by ticking the preposition 'on' after 'go'.In fact the right one is 'over' after 'go'.
I have been looking up 'go over ' 's meaning to be defined by you to Mr Simon.So I'm very much appreciated on your sensitively demanstration.
Anothing, I'd like to inform you that my posted messages on asking the senses of some words,but never have been replyed to.
I really hope you will find it and reply as soon as.

Thanks
Savath
