Hi English learner, it's me again, Chad from RealLife English. Today I have another awesome
video lesson for you teaching you two more phrasal verbs. The phrasal verbs I am going
to teach you today are...
So first let's look at the verb to run. Run is an irregular verb, the conjugation is...
And the first thing you think of when you hear run is probably the most common meaning
of run, which is to run, like to walk really fast. But there is actually two more ways
we can use the verb to run. For example you can say to run a company, to run a company,
or to run a shop, which is the same as saying to manage that. Maybe you are the owner of
the company or the shop but you also run the shop means you are managing that shop or company.
Run can also mean to move with a fluid motion. For example if you were to paint a wall and
the paint was really thick sometimes that paint is going to run. Or you can even say
a river is running, the running water. Maybe if you turn on your tap, or your faucet, the
water is running from the faucet, running from the tap.
But let's look at today's phrasal verbs. The first one being to run out of something, run
out of something. So to run out of something means that you have finished with whatever
that thing is, it's more like you have consumed all of that. So for an example I can say,
I have run out of coffee, I've run out of coffee. That means I've drunk all of the coffee
and I need to go and buy some more. Some other common collocations with run out can be to
run out of time, to run out of space, to run out of gas in your car. So in this case you
have used all of whatever it is, you've used all your time, you've used all the space,
and you have used all the gas in your car.
And the second phrasal verb today is to run into someone, run into a person. You can also
say to run into a problem, but in this case let's focus on a person. If you run into someone
that means that you unexpectedly see that person, it's a random situation. If you are
walking on the street and you see an old friend of yours "oh hey, what's up?" "I just ran
into Bob." So that means that your just saw him randomly on the street and you said, "hey
Bob, what's up" you just ran into Bob.
So this phrasal verb is commonly used in the past because it's talking about a
because it's talking about a past experience so you'll often hear people say, "oh, you'll
never guess who I ran into the other day" "the other day I ran into Bob at the store"
and it's sometimes used in the future, "If you go to that party you'll probably run into
Bob."
Ok so now I'm going to say two phrases with both phrasal verbs, but this time I'm going
to say a phrase that has a strong aspect of connected speech. So in both phrases listen
really closely and try to mimic what I say and exactly how I say it.
Ok guys and girls, so they are two more really common English phrasal verbs, and I hope you
were able to say that, mimic it kind of like how I was saying it. I know it's really difficult,
English speakers we speak with connected speech all the time. It doesn't matter if you can't
get this 100% right now but keep practicing because you're going to get better and better.
It's all about training your mouth muscles. To really master pronunciation you have to
repeat and repeat and repeat, and sooner or later your mouth is going to adapt to those
new sounds, the phonetics of the language and it's going to get much easier and easier.
