Hello!
Would you use "pass someone through to someone" instead of "put someone through to someone"?
Here's an example: "Can you put/pass me through to him, please?".
I've just read the "pass" version, but I can't find further evidence in dictionaries.
Thanks for reading! 🙂

Answer

The standard form in British English is 'put s.o. through to s.o.' when talking on the telephone.  However  'I'll pass you on to . . '  is used to mean the same thing.

Answer

You cannot say: "Can you pass me through to him, please?" Though everyone would likely understand you.

An old-fashioned version is "Can you PATCH me through to him, please?" - This would be correct.

I hope that answers your questions. :)
