Nicola suggests to Icarus that they conduct the interview "over lunch". Does she mean
Nicola suggests to Icarus that they conduct the interview "over lunch". Does she mean
Excerpt: Perhaps we could do the interview over lunch one day?
This is not correct. "After lunch" means once the meal is finished, in the early afternoon. Another example: "Let's go to the cinema after dinner." This does not share a similar meaning with "over lunch".
This is not correct. "Instead of" means "in place of": "I had an apple instead of lunch.". This does not share a similar meaning with "over lunch".
"Over lunch" is the best choice. Nicola wants to have the interview while eating lunch. Phrases like "over dinner" or "over breakfast" mean during the period devoted to eating those meals. Example: Let's discuss this problem over drinks tonight.
Excerpt: Perhaps we could do the interview over lunch one day?
