Making arrangements

Today’s expression is “make arrangements.” To “make arrangements” for something is to prepare to get it or prepare to do it. Around the world, governments are making arrangements to vaccinate their populations. They are preparing to do it. This is a general, non-specific way of saying that they are working on it.

When a country is making arrangements to vaccinate its population, it’s doing what’s necessary to vaccinate its population. First, it’s got to contact the vaccine manufacturer and place an order. Later, it needs to give regulatory approval. Then, it needs a plan to distribute it. That might mean there are additional regulations or guidelines to be published. All those things count as “making arrangements.” It’s the general preparation; the things necessary.

We’re going to make arrangements for the kids to go to summer camp this year. What does that mean? It means you’re going to do everything you need to do to get those kids out of the house for a few weeks this summer!

You’re going to research camps, choose a week, put down your deposit, figure out how you’ll get there, plan something for mom and dad to do while the kids are away. To make arrangements for the kids to go to camp is to do all the things needed for them to go to summer camp this year.

We say “make arrangements to” do an action, or “make arrangements for” someone or something. When I went on vacation in August, I made arrangements to take two weeks off from Plain English.
