hi welcome again to inkvid.com i'm adam
in today's lesson we're going to look at
phrasal verbs again i know everybody
likes these i've heard all the comments
so again what are phrasal verbs phrasal
verbs are a combination of a verb and a
preposition that together have a very
different meaning than the two words by
themselves today's phrasal verbs are
going to be with the verb fall
fall apart fall out
fall behind
fall for
fall through
fall in
fall in with
fall back
fall back on
different
meanings to in and in with back and back
on so let's start
fall apart
two meaning two meanings we're going to
look at today the first one
is basically come apart or disintegrate
or break off
so if any of you have ever cooked ribs
do you like ribs no like big stack of
ribs
boil them put them on the barbecue cook
them really really well then the meat
just
falls apart this comes off the bones
very very delicious
another meaning of fall apart is to have
like a nervous breakdown
okay
let's write that
excuse me
a nervous breakdown when we when someone
has a nervous breakdown
i'm sorry
we say they have fallen apart they have
lost control of themselves emotionally
so an example of when does a person fall
apart if for example if i had a
girlfriend for a very very long time and
one day she comes home she says bye i'm
leaving uh you know maybe i'll go crazy
i'll fall apart i won't be able to work
i won't be able to sleep i won't be able
to do anything
that's not necessarily the way things
happen but for some people that's how it
happens they just fall apart
okay
fall out
so i'm walking down the street i'm you
know i'm happy i'm bouncing around
something falls out of my pocket
basically comes out and falls to the
ground that's the very basic term fall
out
another meaning for fallout is when you
have a fight or a quarrel with someone
you talk about something you get into a
disagreement you fight and then you
don't speak to each other anymore so
basically you had a falling out if you
want the noun of it
are you falling out a fight okay so a
fallout a fight another meaning a third
meaning
is basically consequences
for example in a war
there's a big bomb dropped somewhere and
then all the fallout all the things that
fell out and then all their results the
fallout from this attack was that many
people were left homeless
or that many people were killed or that
the fight extended so the fallout means
the result or the consequence of
something that happened usually
something bad and then the consequences
of course are also bad
fall behind
to again more than one meaning the first
meaning fall behind means to
be a little bit behind all my friends
are walking i'm walking with my friends
they're walking fast and i start to fall
behind
so another word is lag
lag means
be behind not keep pace with
we also use this when we talk about
debts like for example you have to pay
bills
every month the phone company sends you
a bill and you pay it and you pay it but
one month you missed so then the next
month you have to pay last month's bill
and this month's bill but you don't have
enough money so you let a little bit
more go now you're starting to fall
behind on your payments
eventually the bank will come and take
your phone take your car
take your puppy whatever you have that's
worth any money
that's basically fall behind of course
if i drop this here it will fall behind
me but that's too simple
fall four okay a couple of interesting
meaning meanings fall four one when you
fall for something or fall for someone
means you basically you fall in love
okay i went to the bar i had met this
girl i just i just fell for her right
then and there
i fell in love i lost control i wanted
this person but then her friend came and
told me that for fifty dollars he will
give me her phone number so i gave him
fifty dollars and he ran away i fell for
his trick okay so fall four means
believe something that is not true
okay
if you are that type of person you are
gullible
i think i spelled that right i have to
check that later fall four means believe
in a trick or believe in something
that's not true or fall in love
fall through
follow through means when you have a
plan or you try to do something but then
at the end it just didn't work
your attempt failed so it fell through
so last month i made a vacation plans to
go to florida
and then at the last minute my boss told
me no you have to come in to work
because uh there's an emergency we need
to do something so my plans fell through
fell through the floor basically and
didn't come out
now if you're walking along the street
again and there's a sewer where the
water goes in after the rain and you
drop your key and they fall through the
hole so fall through that's a simple
explanation
fall in this is more like military
when uh when the drill sergeant says
fall in everybody stands in line
in a straight line we all fall in line
it also basically means get with the
program or do what you're supposed to do
in a company
a boss for example a supervisor wants
all his staff to fall in line with the
program he wants everybody to understand
and follow what is needed to be done
fall in with
basically it's the same idea means you
follow something but you do it
unintentionally okay so for example if
you fall in with the wrong people you
somehow joined these people that you
didn't really want to but somehow it
happened
so when you hear about gangs in america
for example a lot of these kids who
joined gangs
basically fell in with these people
because that's what was around them and
then now they're part of the gang they
are gangsters they didn't want to be but
they fell in with the wrong people
who pulled them into the gang
fall back again i could fall back or
backward both okay
fall back
and fall back on
or two different things fall back on
for example i'm a teacher
but if for some reason i couldn't teach
anymore i also went to chef school i
know how to cook so i can always fall
back on my cooking skills to get a job
so it's like a rely
rely on something i always have a backup
something that i can do if something
else doesn't work i can fall back on
that
fallback is also means like get behind
for example in bills
payments or bills i fell back on my
payments i have to catch up now
