They can stand you in good stead when taking your C and Cp exams. Are you ready? If so, grab your notebook and let's kick off. Before we start just to let you know that the level of these phrases is determined by the Cambridge dictionary that tends to provide this kind of information. So today's lesson will consist of two parts. First we're going to learn 5-C1 phrases and then in the second part of the video we're going to look at 5-C2 ones. So the first C1 phrase on my list today is in the event of something. It means in case of something or if something happens. It's more frequently used in a formal setting but it can also be informal and I'll look at two examples. The first one in the event of the flight is cancelled. You can get a refund.

It means in any case and whatever happens or might have happened. Like the previous phrase it's also used more frequently in a formal context but it can also be informal. Let's put that into an example sentence. I'm not sure if the report will be finished tomorrow but in any event you'll get it by Friday.

An example sentence, I'm not in the right frame of mind to discuss this issue right now. I'm not in the right frame of mind to discuss this issue right now.
