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.
