Answering Machine Messages

Here you have some examples of answerng machine messages for you to practice.

Hi, This is Jennifer. I can’t come to the phone right now. Please, leave me a message, and I’ll call you back as soon as possible.


  • Hi, I can’t answer the phone right now. Please, leave a message after the beep.

  • Please, leave a message and I will call you back.

  • Please, leave your name, your number and a brief message after the beep.

When leaving a message, remember to use Object pronouns. An object pronoun is used as an object of a verb in a sentence.

  • I call Susan - I call her

  • I left Carlos a message - I left him a message.

Go to the Centre for Education and Training (CET) , Ingles Mundial or to Language Guide to practice using object pronouns.

Now, What do people listen to when you don't answer your phone?
