Hi and welcome back to Love English today I have got a super-simple lesson
for you at least it should make a certain thing a lot more simple to learn...
phrasal verbs! now if the thought of learning phrasal
verbs makes you want to pull your hair out
then this lesson might be just what you need so if you are interested in
sounding more native and boosting your fluency then this lesson is for you now
why is it so many of you find learning phrasal verbs so challenging well number
one there are a lot of them there are many many phrasal verbs in English and
that's not the only problem many of these phrasal verbs have multiple
meanings for example the phrasal verb passed out can mean to faint
and also to distribute she passed out the leaflets she passed out of the tests
phrasal verbs are idiomatic meaning the original verb like get or put or pass
its kind of have a very different meaning as a phrasal verb with a
particle so for example yet usually means to obtain I've got some milk but
the phrasal verb to get by means to survive and manage to get by on a very
low salary and if that's not all enough there is also the issue of grammar some
phrasal verbs that take an object they're transitive some phrasal verbs
that don't take an object they're intransitive
and then you have the issue of phrasal verbs being separable or inseparable it
does get really confusing so here are my top tips to help you learn phrasal verbs
more effectively and much easier number 1 it's really important to understand
what a phrasal verb is and how we use them a phrasal verb is colloquial
meaning it's more commonly spoken or in in
emails or letters or text messages you wouldn't use a phrasal verb in an
academic essay or a business letter a phrasal verb consists of a verb usually
a very common verb like get pass pert take have with a particle or potentially
two or even three particles the particle is usually a preposition and sometimes
with an adverb so for example to get on well with someone we have their get the
verb on the preposition and well an adverb
this entire phrasal verb means to have a good relationship so I get on really
well with sabra but there you can see that the verb has taken on a whole new
meaning as part of the phrasal verb don't get too confused it really isn't
as hard as it seems the best way you could practice phrasal verbs is of
course with a native speaker and even better and native teacher now of course

different ways you can learn them learn them by verb choose to learn all the
phrasal verbs you can with take all the phrasal verbs you can with put by
learning phrasal verbs this way you're grouping them you're making them more
digestible easier to learn and you're not learning random phrasal verbs that
have no connection it's also really useful to learn them in this way because
as I said earlier there are many phrasal verbs with multiple meanings
so my next lesson I'm going to focus on phrasal verbs with multiple meanings but
for now I'm gonna give you a little bit of homework for the next lesson I would
like you to learn the phrasal verb with multiple meanings take off there are
many meanings for the phrasal verb take off and I would like you to do your
research before the next lesson and see how many you can find as I said learning
in this way it means you are grouping them and you're actually learning them
in a systematic methodical way in the same way learn phrasal verbs by
topic so you could learn many phrasal verbs related to food and preparation of
food this is often a way that I will teach
phrasal verbs to my students it can be a lot more engaging a lot more fun and
also it's something you already understand a lot about so whether you're
learning phrasal verbs connected to business or studying or sport this will
help you put them into a very clear context and understand how to use them
better I've already mentioned that to learn phrasal verbs by topic to learn
phrasal verbs by verb to understand what a phrasal verb is and the meaning behind
it but I didn't mention that you could also learn phrasal verbs by preposition
now by learning phrasal verbs by preposition so focusing on phrasal verbs
that all end in up very often there's a common theme with these phrasal verbs so
for example phrasal verbs with up many of them not all often mean to finish to
complete so for example she tidied up means she cleaned everything she
organized everything completely to give up means to completely quit to stop
doing something to drink up means to finish your drink and the same way to
eat up means to complete everything to finish what you are eating so that you
can see calm theme with the phrasal verbs with up at the end a really
effective way of learning them you need to understand the grammar of phrasal
verbs in order to use them correctly it is not enough to understand their
meaning alone so for example the phrasal verb pick up
it's separable and it's transitive so you need an object I picked up Sabra I
picked Sabra up both are possible but if you change saber up to the pronoun her I
picked her up but not I picked up her it's important to understand that when a
phrasal verb is separable and you use a pronoun that that pronoun needs to come
in the middle and not at the end so you cannot say
I picked up her and of course there are some phrasal verbs like come in that are
intransitive meaning they do not need an object you do not need to say come in
you actually that sounds very rude come in meaning to enter if you want to learn
more about the grammar of phrasal verbs I've got a bit of a retro vintage lesson
for you I'll put a link here and I'll put one in the description box and at
the end of the video now finally I have said this before and of course this is
how Camberley can definitely help you to personalize the phrasal verbs write
sentences and speak using the phrasal verbs and connect them to your life to
the people that you know so for example I'm always telling my daughter to clear
up her bedroom personalizing the language means that you are making
connections with knowledge that is already in here it means that those new
words have something to connect with in your brain so personalizing the language
is a very very important way and an effective way to learn phrasal verbs so
there we have it phrasal verbs super simple short lesson and hopefully those
six tips are really going to help you boost your fluency and build on your
vocabulary range so it forgets to comment below see how many phrasal verbs
you know with take off do your research practice learning them and check out my
