20 sept. 2021 · I've heard the phrase "do the call" many times; it's one of these dubious uses of do ("the doctor will do you now") that you'd normally only expect to hear in a (semi-)casual conversation when there's time pressure, e.g.: Let's do the meeting at 9 and the call at 11. Should you say it? Probably not, but it's not the end of the world if you do ...
30 janv. 2018 · The difference between the two, I would say, is that "on a call" sounds more like business-speak. And "on the phone" is regular use. Still, in any situation, business or any other context, we can say "on a call" or "on the phone". It's possible that we get "call" from the idea of "conference call", which implies "important" and "for business ...
3 avr. 2009 · If you want to know how a word is pronounced one would say "How do you say thorough in English". If you want a translation one might say "What do you call a klotz in English" (random word taken from German dictionary).

30 août 2021 · I've taken part in several BP debate competitions, and before they start, the chair of the debate usually "does a roll call". "Take a roll call" and "call the roll" are both good, of course. I was just saying some native speakers out there would also use "do".
27 janv. 2014 · I thought "call" was used when the teacher is actually speaking to the students, and "take" when, for instance, he/she is thinking, "I must remember to take the register today" or talking to other colleagues, e.g. "I forgot to take the register today" - but I'm not sure at all. Thank you in advance.
14 avr. 2020 · I mean a video conference or conference call (via Skype Business, in my case), not a phone call. Since I've been working from home I'm very often in a call (beats face-to-face meetings any day, people tend not to waffle so much ).
28 août 2010 · I am not a native speaker, but this would mean that you ask the person to call you using a phone. How else is he/she supposed to call you? I would say that "call me" is enough.
