Thanks in advance! 2 In AE, we would say "What does he do?" Less common for us would be "What is his profession?" 3 "What does he do for a living" is also possible, but i don´t know how common it is in Britain or the USA. 4 Sure, Frank. That is another option, and it is at least as common as 'his profession', if not a bit more common. 5 "What does he do for a living" is quite common in the UK, or "what does he work as?". 6 'What does he do?' is also very common in BE. Rover 7 Many thanks for your time and explanations, to all of you! With compliments, 8 "What is he?" in acceptable in casual use when the context is clear. "He works at the factory." "What is he?" Or "what does he do?" or "what is his job? "He's a machinist." 9 I see... So, What is he? is correct too, if the context is clear, otherwise, the question we ask to find out the job of somebody is, What´s is job?, isn´t it? 10 I see... So, What is he? is correct too, if the context is clear, otherwise, the question we ask to find out the job of somebody is, What´s is job?, isn´t it? Correct, but 'What does he do?' or 'What does he do for a living?' would sound much more natural than 'What is his job?'. 11 Thank you! Now it´s crystal clear indeed. Best wishes, 12 Hello.

He was just offered a well-paid job with Radio Four. He has just been offered a well-paid job with Radio Four. British English speakers might use the active form I have just offered him a well-paid job with Radio Four. colloq. I just offered him that job! I believe the reason is that He was offered connotes an event some time in the past, and contradicting that with just sounds odd. It's understood though, probably because it is used thus in American English I believe. answered Aug 2, 2012 at 1104 Andrew Leach♦Andrew gold badges188 silver badges308 bronze badges 3 "He has just been offered a well-paid job with Radio Four" sounds more recent and has the intended effect in terms of communicating the timing of the offer. It uses the right tense as the present perfect tense is used to talk about events that occurred very recently. "He was just offered a well-paid job with Radio Four" sounds a bit awkward and doesn't effectively tell the listener about when exactly the job was offered - recently or sometime in the past. gold badges33 silver badges62 bronze badges answered Mar 8, 2019 at 1815 be so-so redirected from he was so-so Idioms browser ? ▲hehe can who believes he canhe gives twice who gives quicklyhe laughs best who laughs lasthe laughs longest who laughs lasthe laughs loudest who laughs lasthe lives long who lives wellHe puts his pants on one leg at a timehe said, she saidHe shoots, he scores!he that cannot obey cannot commandhe that hath a full purse never wanted a friendhe that is down need fear no fallhe that lieth with dogs riseth with fleashe that mischief hatches, mischief catcheshe that will not when he may, when he will he may have nayhe that would eat the fruit must climb the treehe that would eat the kernel must crack the nuthe that would go to sea for pleasure would go to hell for a pastimeHe that would go to sea for pleasure, would go to hell for a pastimehe that would have eggs must endure the cackling of henshe that would the daughter win must with the mother first beginHe that would the daughter win, must with the mother first beginhe travels the fastest who travels aloneHe travels fastest who travels alonehe was so-sohe wears a $10 hat on a five-cent headHe wears a ten-dollar hat on a five-cent headhe who begins many things finishes but fewHe who begins many things, finishes but fewhe who digs a pit for others falls in himselfhe who excuses himself accuses himselfhe who fails to prepare prepares to failhe who fights and runs away may live to fight another dayHe who fights and runs away, may live to fight another dayhe who gives fair words feeds you with an empty spoonhe who hesitateshe who hesitates is losthe who hesitates is losthe who laughs last laughs longesthe who laughs last, laughs besthe who laughs last, laughs hardesthe who laughs last, laughs longesthe who laughs last, laughs loudesthe who lives by the sword dies by the swordhe who lives by the sword, dies by the swordhe who pays the piper calls the tunehe who plays with fire gets burntHe who rides a tiger is afraid to dismountHe who rides a tiger is afraid to who sleeps forgets his hunger▼ Full browser ? ▲he was set up he was set upon he was sharp enough to cut glass he was shook up he was shopped he was short handed he was short-handed he was shorthanded he was shot down he was sick he was sick as a dog he was sitting ducks he was sitting on cloud 9 he was sitting on cloud nine he was sitting on top of the world he was skinny as a beanpole he was skinny as a pole he was skinny as a rail he was skinny as a rake he was skinny as a stick he was skinny as a toothpick he was skint he was sleeping at the wheel he was sleeping on the job he was slippery as a snake he was slow as molasses he was slow as molasses in January he was slower than molasses he was slower than molasses in January he was so so he was so-sohe was social he was soft he was soft as butter he was sold a bill of goods he was sold a pup he was solid as the Rock of Gibraltar he was some distance out from he was some distance out from some place he was some distance out from something he was some place on the dot he was somebody's calling card he was someone's calling card he was someplace on the dot he was something else he was somewhere on the dot he was sore he was spruced up he was still in the mix he was stir crazy he was stir-crazy he was stoked he was stoked about he was stoked about it he was stoked about something he was stoked out of his mind he was stoned he was strapped he was strapped for he was strapped for cash he was strapped for something ▼ Elizabeth Holmes wanted an Apple flag flown at half-mast after Steve Jobs died, per "Bad Blood."

Elizabeth Holmes ordered a specially made Apple flag to be flown at half-mast at Theranos' headquarters after Steve Jobs died, according to a Carreyrou's "Bad Blood Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup" says that Holmes and Sunny Balwani, the Theranos COO and her boyfriend, wanted to pay tribute to the Apple cofounder after he died in October to "Bad Blood," they wanted to fly an Apple flag at half-mast in the grounds of the Theranos building in Palo Alto. A Theranos employee volunteered to try to find an Apple flag to buy but couldn't find one. Instead he went to a store to have one made, with the Apple logo in white on a black background – a task that took several hours, per the book. "In the meantime, work at the company came to a standstill as Elizabeth and Sunny moped around the office, consumed by the hunt for the Apple flag," wrote Carreyrou, who first exposed Theranos's faulty blood testing kits in reporting for The Wall Street Journal in episode is one of several examples of Holmes' reverence for the Apple cofounder, whom she tried to emulate while heading a company that briefly reached a $9 billion valuation. This included both hat tips to Apple, like labelling her blood testing kits as "the iPod of healthcare," and more overt behavior such as wearing black turtleneck sweaters like Jobs did. Holmes was often hailed as the next Steve Jobs, a comparison she was happy to embrace, before Theranos eventually collapsed and she was convicted on four fraud counts. Private notes obtained by CNBC show Holmes would write to herself about "becoming" Jobs and also aped his management techniques outlined in Walter Isaacson's biography of to "Bad Blood," Theranos employees could pinpoint which chapter of the book Holmes was up to based on the period of Jobs' career she appeared to be began serving an 11-year sentence at a Texas prison camp on May 30 after being found guilty of four of 11 fraud charges linked to Theranos' faulty blood testing kits. Balwani was found guilty on four counts and began serving his sentence in to a restitution order, Holmes and Balwani were ordered to pay $125 million to Rupert Murdoch, and $40 million to Walgreens, among other Theranos investors. Lawyers for Holmes and Balwani didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider, made outside normal working hours.
