Hi friends,

"overdue" and "postpone" - can I use them interchangeably in the following context?

Was that interview postponed?
Was that interview overdue?

Is it correct to use "overdue" instead of "postpone"?

Thanks in advance,
Niwantha

Answer

Postponed means that it will now happen at a later date or time

Overdue means it was supposed to take place at X date or time, but the scheduled date or time has passed and it hasn't happened. This is also used when someone misses a deadline

Answer

postponed is correct in this context
