Giving the answer and then changing it.

Here is an example:
"Is it ok to meet at 7pm?" / "Yes, 7pm works fine for me" / "Oh I've just
remembered I have a late meeting, could we make it half past
instead?"
The answer was 7pm but then the speaker changed it to 7.30pm.
Always keep listening and be ready to change your answer
