A better way to say 'prepone' is "Shall we reschedule the meeting to earlier in the day/week/month?"<br/>Advance is a term used only for money, "Shall I advance some of the payment to you?"<br/><br/>I am an American teaching Indians US culture based out of Kochi.
"#14 Americans have weird conventions for time - when they say the time is "Quarter Of One", they mean the time is 1:15. Better to ask them the exact time."<br/><br/>This is incorrect. Quarter of 1 means 12:45. It's an idiom. "Of" refers to before the hour of the number being said.<br/>Quarter AFTER 1 is 1:15.<br/><br/>Take note that quarter in time is 15, quarter in money is 25 (cents).
#16 can be considered a regional or personal usage.<br/>"Do you have the time?" can mean one of two things- (1) tell me the time or (2) do you have time to spare to talk/meet/complete this work<br/>The most common way to ask for the time is to ask, "What time is it?" with a soft tone. If we say it too loud or with a harder tone, it can sound too direct or rude. Another way of saying this is, "What's the time?" Again, this is said with a soft tone. "Do you have the time?" already has a pleasing tone, and is not considered rude.
As for the use of "but" and "however", I always suggest in my trainings to cut those out of your vocabulary as much as possible. Words like but, however, therefore and others cause two problems. (1) they create long run on sentences and (2) typically to an American whatever comes after these words has a negative tone (for example, "We can do this for you, but.....").

Interactions with American clients | 04 Apr 2014To an American "tier" and "tear" are said the same. Just make the ie or ea a long e sound. Do not add a Y sound in there.
