Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Put यानी रखना: plan को उठाकर साइड में रख दिया, बाद में उठा लेंगे = put off (postpone)। Call off में permanent connection कटता है, put off में temporary।

Put means to place. You pick up a plan and place it to one side, to take up again later — that is put off, a temporary cut. In call off the connection is cut permanently; in put off it is cut only for now.

Exam note

Put off यानी postpone, call off यानी cancel। इसका अर्थ discourage भी है; options में procrastinate और expedite (उल्टा) दिखते हैं।

Put off means postpone or defer; call off means cancel. It can also mean to discourage, and options may include procrastinate (put off habitually) and expedite (the opposite).
