Five phrasal verbs for C1 Advanced in 5 minutes. Let's go! Oh hello Monica you
look very beautiful today! Oh my God Bruce what a lovely surprise thank you! Yes your beard is
looking especially magnificent! Oh my God Bruce shut up! I don't have a beard okay it's just my
skin! Bruce was winding Monica up. If you wind somebody up then you intentionally annoy them.
If somebody or something winds you up then they, or it, annoys you. Think of relationships between
siblings. Siblings always wind each other up. What do you do to wind your brother or sister
up? Let me know in the comments. Oh yeah and this phrasal verb is transitive and separable. If you
take to doing something then you get into the habit of doing it. Yeah for example Bruce has
taken to drinking every day and then insulting me because he's a loser. Now Monica that is
not true you beardy little.... No, no. Enough of that. Bruce, go home. For example you have
recently taken to watching SMASH English videos because you watch SMASH English videos every day,
don't you? Before you go to bed, right? Don't you? Don't you!? Yeah and this is inseparable and
transitive. Okay now this one has many meanings but this meaning in particular will help you with
your C1 Advanced speaking exam. If you cannot make something out or you cannot make out what
something is or you cannot make out what something is doing then it's not clear to you, you cannot
see clearly enough to understand what is going on. So imagine it's part two of the C1 Advanced
speaking exam and you see this image. You don't know what they are doing on their computers and
so you say "I cannot make out what they are doing on their computers". Marvelous! I walked into
the SMASH English studio and I happened upon a beautiful Fair Maiden. Oh my God. And I asked this
Fair Maiden "Will you be my bride?". And she said "No. Go away.". Oh. If you happen on something it
means you find something unexpectedly. It is exactly the same as the phrasal verb "to come
across" and if you don't know that phrasal verb at the C1 on advanced level then you should probably
watch this video here all about phrasal verbs with COME. And yes this phrasal verb is transitive and
Inseparable. Here is a person who is sweeping. So you could sweep dust or dirt aside obviously.
And in the literal sense this just means to move something out the way with a broom. Just
sweeping... yeah. However this phrasal verb is metaphorical. If you sweep something aside it
means you kind of ignore it. You don't give it any consideration. That's not important,
let's just sweep that aside. Toby, I was thinking and I have like an idea for SMASH English,
like I think SMASH English should make a weekly video all about fashion in English. No. Oh my
God Toby don't just sweep my suggestions aside! Think about them for a minute at least! Yeah Toby!
Respect my lady! Oh my God shut up, Duke, go away! Oh my God! Monica! So now you even want to sweep
me aside!? Good God... And yeah this phrasal verb is transitive and separable. And there we
have it! Those were five phrasal verbs for the C1 Advanced Cambridge exam in five minutes. If
