### At work

| word | you know | at work |
|---|---|---|
| **{{item:1253205}}** | the stall | the post, the position |
| **{{item:1253209}}** | the degree; the race | the career |
| **{{item:1253213}}** | to send | to be in charge |
| **{{item:1253217}}** | to introduce (someone) | to present, to submit |
| **{{item:1253221}}** | to argue | to discuss |
| **{{item:1253225}}** | to turn (an age) | to keep, to fulfill |

### Who decides, and what you discuss

**Mandar** with no object, or with **aquí**, is usually about who gives the orders:

{{item:1253214}}

**Discutir** + a topic (*el plan*, *el presupuesto*) usually means *to discuss* it. **Discutir con** someone, with no topic, more often means *to argue*:

{{item:1253222}}

**Cumplir** + an age is to turn it; with a word, a rule or a goal, it is to keep or meet it:

{{item:1253252}}

### About eight o'clock

**{{item:1253255}}** + a clock time means *about, around*. **Hacia las ocho** says the same; **sobre** is very common in everyday Spanish in Spain:

{{item:1253256}}

{{item:1253257}}

Without a time or a number, **sobre** is usually *on* or *about* (a topic): *sobre la mesa*, *un libro sobre España*.

### Just in time

**{{item:1253259}}** before a time word, a place word or **lo que** usually means *just, exactly*:

{{item:1253260}}

{{item:1253262}}

When **justo** describes a person or a decision (*El jefe es justo*), it is the adjective you know, *fair*.
