You want to be social meet new people and talk to them in English you'll need
these phrasal verbs first I feel like every one of my example starts with so
you're at a party but you're at a party and you're feeling confident and you
want to speak to this person so you approach her but we won't say approach
no that sounds too formal and we don't like formal yuck we will use phrasal
verbs which phrasal verb means approach go up to go up to means approach someone
or something and remember it's always more common to use the phrasal verb in
this example he go okay clips he goes up to her now go up to that's general and
it just means approach but you know how phrasal verbs work the preposition shows
you what happened and the verb shows you how it happened so if that means he
approached her this you know how phrasal verbs work we can change this verb he
didn't go up to her he maybe he walked up to her maybe it was fast he ran up to
her or maybe
maybe he danced up to her you know if he's a creep
but again phrasal verbs the preposition shows what happened the verb changes how
it happened so be creative change the verbs say how you approach someone or
something now maybe he loves her so he wants to ask her hey let's go to the
cinema let's go get food let's go get coffee let's meet in some kind of
romantic way what phrasal verb do I need ask out you
like them you want to meet them more than friends you ask them out but how do
you ask someone else that's really hard it's not it's really not hey um do you
want to go out with some time that's it that's all you need to say so he asked
her out and she said I don't know you decide tell me in the comments what did
she say also tell me what is your perfect idea for a perfect date my
pancakes then drinks okay this next phrasal verb come across this has two
meanings the first one means you meet someone by chance or you find something
by chance for example the party continues and Mary
wants to introduce Peter to this guy oh my god Peter
this is client can't you kind of look like Superman I don't know have you ever
met Superman I I've never come across him before
it means to meet someone by chance accidently not just meet someone but
also find something by chance usually in the comments of my videos people say oh
cool I was looking for videos to learn English with and I came across your
videos I found them by chance let me ask you as a question how did you come
across my videos after you meet someone you now have an opinion on that person
based on that one meeting what impression did that person give you well
another meaning of come across is exactly this it talks about your opinion
what impression did they give you so Mary Jane wants to give her opinion
about what impression Clark Kent gave her he really came across funny and not
like funny haha but now funny weird so yeah oh so there are two different
meanings of the word funny you know one meaning funny haha that is so funny but
there's a second meaning when someone is acting strange different a little bit
weird you would say they are acting funny or they are being funny how do you
know the difference if it's the same word you know through intonation and
through context example you are so funny you're being really funny today see you
can hear the difference but yes in a text message you can't hear anything and
any intonation or sarcasm is lost so if you're writing this in a text message
it's best to be absolutely clear in what you
she can also say he came off as funny I don't know he came off as a bit funny
they both mean the same thing in this context similar to that is this phrasal
verb to give off this is so similar but this is talking about the impression
that you give to everyone in general the vibe that you give people think of the
word emanate or emit maybe those words translate to Latin languages a bit more
easily let's do an example yeah he really gives off this unfriendly vibe
like maybe he hates everyone
next you're all as a group you're having a conversation I'm just saying I think
this Superman is more handsome than spider-man totally and then a different
person joins and interrupts your conversation hi nice to meet you I'm
Batman I totally agree what did Batman just do he interrupted he he butted in
the phrasal verb to butt in just means to interrupt usually a
conversation this is not a very formal phrasal verb so if you say that someone
butted in it means they were not being polite they were kind of being rude
I can't believe Batman just butted in our conversation
now they're fighting something bad is happening and she wants him to interrupt
it to intervene in this bad thing to stop the bad thing
what phrasal verb can she use are you gonna step in so remember to step in it
means to intervene to interrupt something bad before it happens or in
this case to stop something bad which is happening now like a fight she wants
Batman to intervene no I want to see what happens now of course Batman is
going to step in of course he's going to intervene and end the fight now when a
situation doesn't involve you that's not your business but you involve yourself
anyway you include yourself in to the situation you big stick your nose in
this is not a positive meaning this is not your business this doesn't involve
you but you included yourself anyway so in this case Batman stuck his nose in
you know this wouldn't have happened if Batman hadn't stuck his nose in now we
want to talk about the feeling that you leave a situation with so if you want to
say after that this is how I feel you'll say this phrasal verb come away with
after that I'm gonna come away with a very bad impression of Batman the common
way that you might want to use this is you meet someone and after that meeting
you feel good about yourself or you feel good about something because of the
meeting you can say well I came away feeling really good I
came away feeling really confident so yeah I think they both came away with a
bad impression of Batman but also of each other they probably hate each other
now a few days later and they meet in the street by chance complete
coincidence they didn't plan it it's just by chance when you meet
someone completely by chance you bump into them
or run into them so if you meet your friend on the street you could say wow I
wasn't expecting to bump into you today or run into let's try the past tense
today I was just walking on the streets and I ran into an old friend so here are
two ways that you can practice all the vocabulary from today's lesson one
