Many learners always say: “I’m busy.”But in real life, native speakers use many natural phrases. Try these instead:
- I’ve got a lot on my plate right now. 👉 Meaning: You have many things to do.
- I’m tied up at the moment. 👉 Meaning: You’re currently occupied.
- Can we catch up later? I’m in the middle of something. 👉 Meaning: You want to reschedule politely.
💡 Tip: Using different expressions makes you sound more natural and confident.
