Hello there,
Let's assume you are a teacher and you told a student to read a passage. If you interrupted the student to explain a word, then you would say "read on please" when you want them to resume reading.
Now if you and your little son are watching a video on his computer and you asked him to pause the video to comment on a scene, how would you ask him to resume the video playback in the same way the teacher asks the student using the combination "read on" ?
Bear in mind, I know I can tell him to resume, but this is more of a formal English register, and what I want is an informal way of telling him. How would you (personally) ask him to play back the video again
Would you tell him to :
- (just) play back, or
- play on*
- play away*
- go on
- play back again
* I suspect ever the use of these combinations !
Thanks a lot
