very much for joining
i'm going to get started very quickly
today because we have a lot to cover uh
oh someone asked on youtube about the
monthly review the picture i just
mentioned uh please go to the english
class 101 youtube channel search for
monthly review you can find the video
there there's a link in the description
to send your audio or video message so
please check that out
okay so let's get started today
we're going to talk about 20 high
frequency phrasal verbs i'm going to
introduce each verb
i'm going to explain the definition or
the meaning
sometimes there are two and share some
example sentences so please feel free to
send your example sentences as well
let's get started though because we have
a lot to talk about i'm going to share
the lesson and then i'm going to begin
okay great
let's get it going
first let's start on this part of the
board you'll notice in today's lesson a
lot of the phrasal verbs will use up
i think this is the most common one the
most common preposition for today so
please note that up and out
are some very very commonly confused
ones so let's get started with pick up
pick up pick up is our first phrasal
verb to pick up and i think yeah we'll
zoom in it's hard to see there's a lot
today pick up to pick up there are two
meanings for to pick up first
to pick up can mean to take something
from a low place
and move it to a high place so we use
this a lot with the phone for example to
pick up the phone right so the phone is
in a lower place you take it from the
low place and move it to the high place
to pick up so as in pick up the phone or
please pick up the phone
the second meaning for pickup is to
collect someone or to collect something
so this is very commonly used in a
sentence like this
can you pick me up
from the airport can you pick me up from
the airport so this means please collect
me from the airport so i arrive at the
airport i want you to collect me like in
your car or some other mode of
transportation so there are two ways to
use pick up pick up
second phrasal verb is come back so i
want to talk about come back and go back
together these two they have they share
very similar meanings but what's
important here with come back and go
back is the perspective of the speaker
perspective means the point of view of
the speaker so let's look at come back
first
to come back
means to return to a place yes to return
to a place but from the point of view of
a person who remains in that place so
for example let's say uh i'm here in
front of the camera and our control desk
person suddenly leaves and i'm like oh
no like i'm in a live lesson no please
come back please come back i need your
help please don't go anywhere please
come back i need your help i say come
back because
i am still here i don't say go back i
don't say go back i'm remaining i'm
still in this place so i say please come
back please don't go away
however
go back go back is from the perspective
of the other person so again
to go back means to return to a place
you were just in
but from the point of view of the person
who moved away so for example again if
i'm here and the control desk person
decides suddenly to leave the studio
and i'm like no come back and the
control desk person decides to enter the
room again
he might say ah i'm going to go back
into the studio i'm going to go back
into the studio
so to come back and to go back yes they
mean to return to a place but your
perspective your point of view is very
important here
so these two are very commonly confused
so some other examples with come back
and go back are
please come back to visit soon please
come back to visit soon and
uh i'm gonna go back to my college i'm
gonna go back to my college yes
okay uh some examples i'm looking for
your examples uh on facebook tan tatyang
says i will come back soon i will come
back soon so like i'll come back to a
place you're in maybe
okay
uh i don't see any other so let's
continue on we have two more in this
first group uh the next one
turn out to turn out to turn out means
to end or to finish we use this
typically at like the end of an event or
when we want to talk about
the way in which something finished an
event finished a party finished maybe
like a live stream finished so when we
want to talk about how something
finished we can use turn out
for example our event
turned out this is past tense our event
turned out great our event turned out
that means our event ended great our
event finished great so to turn out
means to end in some way to end
okay and finally very similar sounding
end up to end up so it might seem
similar to turnout but end up
means to finally be in
a situation
or to finally be in a place so we
usually use end up
when there's been some kind of struggle
or some kind of challenge and we tried
many many different things and finally
we finish in this situation or in this
condition for example
last night
we ended up taking a taxi home
last night we ended up taking a taxi
home so maybe in this situation the
speaker was out late at night with
friends
or the speakers in this case they were
out late at night and the train the
train stopped running or the subway
stopped so
that was maybe a challenge or a struggle
they could say last night we ended up so
it's like saying eventually or in the
end after some struggles we took a taxi
home or we ended up taking a taxi home
okay
let's see i'm looking for your examples
other few
almeida says on youtube the party turned
out great exactly good edgard says my
birthday party turned out just fine
perfect very nice
uh sarif man says hello alicia please
come back tomorrow to teach me about
english perfect very nice so digitally
come back please come back i cannot come
back tomorrow but please join us next
week okay uh some other examples
kanwalit says he spent all his money and
ended up with no money in the middle of
the month perfect very nice example
uh life says they end up they end up or
they ended up loving each other okay
good good uh d valerian says i ended up
in the friend zone oh nice example okay
on facebook uh masia i ended the project
so we use end up when we want to talk
about like something that happens after
a struggle so we follow end up
usually with some verb this is uh
taking in this case we ended up taking
so we're talking about some action we
eventually did okay uh
if you missed anything if you missed
anything here you can check the video
the recording of the video later it's a
lot today so
let's take one quick break and then
we'll go to the next group of phrasal
verbs so i introduced this at the
beginning of today's lesson very briefly
uh but as always we have free stuff for
everybody free vocabulary pdfs i'll go
over here yeah i usually show the
business one of course i know many of
you are studying for work
on the back here you will find uh some
expressions for meetings which i often
talk about
and these often uh today's lesson we can
use some of these phrasal verbs in
meetings so this is another good one to
review
also
another time
when you're using phrasal verbs a lot is
when shopping this says clothes yes but
in general when you are shopping for
things
phrasal verbs come up a lot so these are
a couple of examples of situations where
phrasal verbs like these are very uh
useful so check these out i'll show you
some more later there are lots of topics
you can find everything from the link
below the video on youtube or above the
video if you're watching on facebook if
you're watching on instagram please
check youtube or facebook and sorry i
can't see your comments live okay so
let's continue to the next part for
today's lesson
uh
next we're gonna look at five more and
uh if you have not please make sure to
like and share this live lesson so other
learners can find today's topic alrighty
onward next group
let's start with this one show up to
show up is our next phrasal verb to show
up means to appear to appear
especially when not expected so we
typically use show up for people so it's
like we're surprised to see someone
and like we're
we want to express that surprise for
example
i was surprised the ceo
showed up
at the meeting so showed up showed up is
the past tense form of show up i was
surprised the ceo showed up at the
meeting like this we could replace
showed up with appeared or we could say
came to but showed up is like it
communicates the feeling of surprise or
something unexpected happening the ceo
showed up in the meeting oh my gosh so
show up communicates
this feeling of surprise better than
appear or come in this case so we use
this for people generally occasionally
it's used for like objects i suppose but
we'll talk about another one that we
typically use for objects instead
okay
uh leah says nice of you to show up
great example nice of you to show up
it's like you weren't expecting someone
to come uh this has kind of a negative
feel about it nice example leah okay
let's continue on to hold up hold up so
to hold up has two different uses
that i'll talk about here first is to
raise something high so to hold we have
the simple just a verb to hold something
like i hold my phone like to hold my
phone and then i could say i hold up my
phone so this one is very easy to
understand i think to hold something up
to hold something up but
the second meaning is probably less
clear the second meaning is to cause a
delay to cause a delay so
in an example sentence
a mistake
held up the project a mistake held up
the project so held up is the past tense
of hold up a mistake caused a delay in
the project a mistake held up the
project that's what this means so we can
say caused a delay in that's also okay
but this one is a bit shorter it's
easier to say a mistake held up the
project or an accident held up the train
so something that caused a delay can be
can be expressed with hold up hold up
okay i will check to see if there are
any examples really really quickly uh a
on facebook says hold up there hold up
there uh that's another use of hold up
which isn't really in a sentence but as
a command
hold up can also mean wait
wait like hold up can also mean to wait
to wait we'll also see this with uh hold
on later but yes hold up can also mean
uh please wait or casually to wait uh so
it's less it's not really used in a
sentence just as it is
okay
uh yes many people are using the first
meaning to hold something up like to
hold up an object okay uh tamara tamara
i hope i said that right the hurricane
holds up the flight make sure the
hurricane held up past tense yeah the
hurricane held up the flight caused past
tense caused a delay in the flight
uh
okay other examples
i don't see okay let's continue on then
next is checkout check out so this one
again there are two meanings i'm going
to talk about in this lesson to check
out number one is to pay for items at a
store to pay for items at a store so
you've gone shopping like you're at the
bookstore or whatever you've collected
your items you take them to the cash
register and you pay so we use
checkout to describe that i'm gonna
check out i would like to check out
please that means i would like to pay
for my stuff i'm done i'm done shopping
to check out
the other meaning though means to look
at something so we usually use this for
something new something that is new i
want to check out a new thing for
example
let's check out that new restaurant
so i've hear i've used to look at
something but
so we can use it for something new we
physically look at
it can also mean like to experience as
in this case let's check out that new
restaurant means like let's go and look
around and try that new restaurant so we
usually use this for something new so
check that out or let's check out this
thing to check out to check out
uh someone says check out the pdf cheat
sheet now yeah
check it out check out there are lot of
them i think they're like 25 maybe we
have new ones i don't know if i've shown
all of them but yes please do check
these out please do check these out
uh okay
ah uh nene on facebook has another good
example of check out so i talked about
check out at a store when you're ready
to pay for something you can also use it
at a hotel when you leave the hotel to
check out of the hotel
life says is check out similar to
confirm no check out
is different to check is similar to
confirm to check yes i'm going to check
some information i'm going to confirm
information yes okay
all right so let's move on to move on so
to move on perfect segway i didn't even
plan that oh so
move on to move on means to go to the
next thing i use this all the time i
just use this in the live lesson so it
means like
to go to the next thing usually in a
list or usually in a sequence so in this
case i have a big list of vocabulary
words i want to go to the next thing i
say i'm going to move on i'm going to
move on to something so this is the
preposition we use for example i'm going
to move on to
the next part of the lesson
i'm going to move on to noun phrase
you'll hear this used in presentations
so i'm going to move on to the next
slide i'm going to move on to my next
topic this is very good for meetings and
presentations
on to break down break down
two two things i want to talk about here
to break down means to make something
smaller to make something smaller for
example like if you have like a stick
and you need to make it smaller we can
say to break it down meaning to break it
into smaller pieces like this kind of so
one thing becomes smaller to break
something down
but
this one the second meaning is one we
use in our lessons from time to time to
break something down can mean to explain
something in detail to give small
details about something
for example
let's break down the grammar of this
sentence let's break down the grammar of
this sentence that means let's look at
the details let's explain in detail the
small points of something so let's break
it down let's break this down this is
also very common in meetings
in classes in lectures and so on to
explain something in detail as a
question you could say could you please
break this down for me that means can
you please explain to me in detail can
you please break this down
okay phew let's continue on to
column three because time's going
quickly and we have lots to cover
uh i'm looking for your your examples
but let's get to the next one put down
put down so we talked about pickup at
the beginning of the lesson to pick
something up is to take something from a
low place and move it to a high place
yeah
to put down is the opposite put down the
phone that's what it means so to move
something from a high place or to move
something you are holding to a resting
position so we pick up the phone we put
down the phone i often hear students say
pick the phone no we can't use pick the
phone pick up the phone and put down the
phone
this is the first meaning
the second meaning though is maybe a
little more difficult uh it means to
discourage to discourage or to bully
someone so to discourage or to bully
someone means to say mean things to say
rude things to someone to make them feel
bad that's called putting someone down
to put someone down in a sentence
don't put down your classmates don't put
down your classmates so that means like
trying to move them to like a lower
social position you can kind of think of
it as that
okay on to
turn up turn up i talked about this one
show up earlier we use show up for
unexpected appearances a lot
turn up has the same thing the same
feeling but we use turn up for
objects objects so we use this when
we're looking for something like a
marker if i'm looking for my red marker
i can't find it but finally i do find it
i can say ah my marker it turned up on
the desk or in this example sentence my
keys turned up in my bathroom so we use
turn up and it gives the listener the
feeling that we were looking for
something for a long time or something
was really hard for us to find and at
last we found it finally we found that
thing it turned up past tense turned up
my marker turned up over there so
something we wanted to find
that's meaning one meaning two is to
raise the volume of music or to raise
the volume of tv so that just means to
make something louder turn it up i love
this song so you can use uh of course
the opposite uh to turn something down
like to turn the volume of a tv or music
program down too
alrighty onward to hold on i mentioned
hold on briefly when we talked about
hold up
hold on means to wait to wait so as a
command we use hold on to mean wait yes
so you will very commonly hear people
say hold on or hold on a minute or hold
on a moment it means please wait so it
doesn't mean hold anything no holding
here
but
part two meaning two you might hear in
movies and tv especially like action
movies
meaning two is to hold something yes but
usually for safety purposes usually like
a character in an action movie will say
hold on to something like before an
airplane crashes i don't know so to hold
on to something uh is usually used for
safety reasons
for example with a beautiful drawing uh
hold on to the ladder when climbing so
if this is my beautiful ladder so when
you're climbing for safety reasons you
should hold on to the ladder so that
means like
physically holding something and like
continuing to hold that thing to hold on
usually for safety reasons
uh
yes many people are using the weight
version of hold on great great i see
lots of these all right onward to
ketchup to catch up to catch up not to
catch up the common uh
food that we have with french fries to
catch up means to get the latest
information
and it means to get to the same place as
someone like especially in a competition
like in a race
for example
let's get a coffee and catch up let's
get a coffee and ketchup so that means
let's get a coffee and share our latest
news let's share our latest information
for meaning two though
we might hear this in sports so if you
like to watch sports
you might hear like
team a caught up to
team b the preposition is two there team
a caught up to team b like they were at
10 points now they're at 15 points they
caught up to team b so they they uh got
to the same place as someone or another
team
all right
takeover is the last one for this group
to take over means to completely control
something you might hear this in
business news so like company a took
over past tense of take is took company
a took over company b so company a
completely
has control of company b to completely
take over something to take control of
something now they are they have the
power example my job is taking over my
life that's not true my job is taking
over my life but that means my job has
total control over my life to take over
something to take over something
all right we have five left oh my gosh
we might make it in time i'm trying to
check your examples really quickly
people are using hold up yeah please
hold up a minute great job with using
hold up
uh
yes some people are asking about the
expression broke down yes to break down
uh means to have usually a mechanical
problem to break down or to have an
emotional problem i broke down last
night i lost my job some of you are
asking about breakdown there are those
two meanings all right let's go to our
final group for this lesson again lots
that use up up up up first one is look
up look up so the easy one to understand
the easy meaning to understand here is
to like use your eyes and look in an
upward direction like look up at the sky
that's easy to understand i think
but uh someone mentioned it earlier in
this lesson to look up means to research
something to check information to
research something so like if i don't
know a vocabulary word i might check it
like i'm going to look up the meaning of
this vocabulary word i'm going to
research the vocabulary word like what
does the word uh what does inauguration
mean i don't know i'm going to look up
this word means research or to check or
try to confirm something
okay
uh
my example here was please look up the
definition so this is a great word for
learners of languages to look up
something or to it sounds a little more
casual a lot more casual actually than
research research sounds very heavy like
very detailed look up is like just a
quick check
okay
on to put up put up again two meanings
for put up first is to tolerate to
tolerate so to tolerate something means
to stand something usually there's some
negative thing
and you try not to let it affect you
that's called tolerating something so
even if something bad happens someone
says rude things or something is
unpleasant you continue to do your best
you tolerate something we use put up to
mean this for example
i don't
put up with rude behavior so the
preposition we use is with i don't put
up with noun phrase i don't put up with
rude behavior that means i don't
tolerate rude behavior that's not okay
for me i don't tolerate so put up and in
this meaning we follow with the
preposition
with with i don't put up with rude
behavior
second is to decorate to decorate so
these are very different meanings yeah
to decorate this physically means to put
an object to put something
like up high so we use it a lot like uh
on the holidays like we want to hang
lights for example it actually means
putting something oh it's too heavy we
put sorry hard to see we put an object
up somewhere for the purpose of
decoration to put up noun phrase so no
width in that case to put up decorations
okay
ah some good examples with put up
someone rahul says i put up uh with pain
yeah so many people if you have a
medical issue you might say i put up
with this problem all the time or
this pain is difficult for me to put up
with yes great example great example
okay um
i don't see other ones we're almost done
we're almost done i hope it's okay three
more three more are bring up first one
bring up this is great for business
meetings to bring up means to introduce
a topic for discussion to introduce a
topic for discussion for example
our manager brought up past tense our
manager brought up
our new product performance at the
meeting so this means our manager
introduced the topic of our new product
performance at the meeting so to bring
up means to
introduce right last two last two are
almost there i'm a bit late sorry
i'll finish quickly pull up to pull up
can mean to open a file on a computer to
open a file on a computer hey miguel one
of our members has joined hi there uh so
to open a file on a computer we use pull
up because it's sort of like if you can
imagine when you open a file on your
computer it kind of goes whoosh like
this yeah
so that's we use the the phrasal verb
pull up to refer to this when the file
comes up pull uh appears on your screen
so to pull up to pull up
and we also use this when driving it
means to drive a short distance to stop
at a point we use this uh for like fast
food restaurants when we go to drive
through we might say pull up to
the window please so the preposition in
this case is to pull up to the window
pull up to the window
and one more example can you pull up
that picture so on your computer is what
this means can you please pull up that
picture that's what this request is
asking for you might hear open as well
but pull up also is commonly used
last one phew last one appropriately i
chose this for the last one is shut down
to shut down so to shut down of course
is used for computers to shut down means
to turn off usually a computer or other
machine other mechanical device to shut
down to cut power to something
so
i need to shut down my computer or try
shutting down your computer
but we also have this very casual
meaning which is to reject to reject
for example
i asked my boss for a raise but she shut
me down she shut me down that means i
asked my boss for a raise but she
rejected me or she declined so reject
reject or to decline as well it can have
that meaning so to shut down can mean uh
to be refused but this is very casual
very casual so we use this when we're
speaking with our friends if we're
rejected
wow so we made it guys we made it
everybody we made it through 20 phrasal
verbs in 35 minutes very close very
close so these are 20 very very common
