Have I got a fun lesson for you today.
Because we're talking about dating and phrasal verbs.
Two of your favorite things, right, right, right, right?
Phrasal verbs...yay!
So much learning. So much fun.
Yay, English.
Sorry. I'm done.
Today we're talking about dating and phrasal verbs.
And the reason I chose this category is because...
Well, first it's fun. Who doesn't want to talk about dating?
But second is because one of the best ways to learn
phrasal verbs is by putting them in categories.
Otherwise, phrasal verbs can get a little bit confusing.
And if you're finding them difficult, don't worry.
You are not the only one.
And they're difficult because we have to memorize them.
And the meaning can change depending on what preposition we're using.
Putting them in a category like dating makes it a lot easier to remember.
So we're going to learn about these, and we're going to practice them together.
Are you ready to have some wonderful English fun with some beautiful phrasal verbs?
Let's go.
Number one...AKS OUT.
And usually we ask someone out.
To ask someone out means to invite someone for drinks or for a movie or for dinner.
Because you are interested in them.
You want to have a relationship with this person, so you ask them out.
Number two...to GO OUT.
Now to go out nice to date someone and have a romantic relationship with them.
To spend a lot of time with this person.
Basically, when you're going out with someone. It means you are dating this person.
You are boyfriend/girlfriend kind of...situation.
Number three...HOOK UP.
Now this one's a little bit more informal.
Because if two people hook up, it's usually when they're just starting a relationship.
Or they're in that stage before a relationship.
And they're just kind of...getting together.
I don't know how to say this without sounding sexual.
When two people hook up, it's very open. It's very casual.
They're starting a new relationship, or maybe it's the beginning of a sexual encounter.
Number four...MAKE OUT.
Oh gosh. Is it getting hot in here, or is it just me?
Just me? Okay. Okay. I'll come down.
To make out means to kiss and touch in a sensual, sexual way.
That's what it means to make out.
I'm such a child. I'm always laughing at these.
Number five...COME ON TO.
Come on to is to behave in a certain way that shows that you are attracted to someone.
And you'd like to have some kind of relationship, romantic relationship with this person.
If you're coming on to someone, it just means you're showing them that you're interested.
When Wes was coming on to me when we first started dating,
I thought he was the biggest dork ever.
Because he kept talking about his socks and sandals.
And like that was supposed to impress me. I don't get it.
Number six to FLIRT WITH SOMEONE.
To flirt with someone means to behave in such a way
that you are showing that you are romantically interested in this person.
This one's a lot of fun because it requires two people
It's about fun and engaging with a person.
So your kind of going back and forth in this fun cute banter.
You flirt to this person, the other person flirts with you.
To flirt with someone.
Number seven is to BREAK UP WITH SOMEONE.
And this one's a little bit sadder because it means at the end of a relationship.
And this could also be found as SPLIT UP WITH SOMEONE.
So if you're trying to break up with someone, it means that you are done.
This is the end. You are trying to end this relationship.
You want to break up with a person.
Number eight to GET OVER SOMEONE.
This one is a good one.
And it just means to start to feel happy again after a relationship has ended.
When you break up with someone, you are not the happiest person.
You're probably sad and a little depressed.
But as you get over someone, those feelings of happiness start coming back.
To get over someone.
