to share with you that are going to help

this video is a quiz that's going to

verbs
i've got 13 to test you on and they are
going to get
more and more advanced as we go through
the quiz
come give it a shot with me what have
you got to lose
now all of the phrasal verbs in today's
quiz
have come from lessons on the english
channel
so if you've watched all of the phrasal
verbs lessons on my
channel then this is going to be really
good revision but if you haven't watched
them yet then it'll be a really good
opportunity
to test what you know the quiz is
divided into two sections
we'll start with some of the easier
verbs and
by easier i mean high intermediate level
verbs
and then we're going to move into some
more advanced ones
for each phrasal verb you just need to
choose the definition that
best describes the meaning of the verb
and notice
i said best describes
like this example to run out
does that mean to move at a pace faster
than walking
to finish or to use something so that
there's none of it left
or to do exercise outdoors
can you guess which of these meanings is
the
most correct it's a little tricky right
you can always hit pause if you need to
think about it for a moment longer
all the way throughout this quiz but the
correct answer is
be now there are 13 questions in the
quiz
if you don't know any of them or you get
some of them wrong
please don't worry this is just your
chance to learn some new words
and some different ways of expressing
yourself in english
please grab a notebook and write down
any of the new phrasal verbs that you
learned with me today
and maybe some of the example sentences
that you write yourself that you want me
to check
you can write them down in the comments
below this video and i will get to them
very soon so let's get started
so the first phrasal verb is bring up
to bring something up
so does it mean to start talking about
something
to produce a new product and start to
sell it
or to take something from one place to
another
the answer is a to start talking about
something
there is something i want to bring up at
the next team meeting
so this verb is transitive and separable
and that means it's also possible and
correct
to say i want to bring something up
at the next team meeting okay the next
one
is back up to back up
someone or something does this mean
to make a structure stronger or more
stable
to walk backwards or to provide
support
the correct answer is c to provide
support especially by telling other
people that you agree with something
they did or something they said
i'm so glad my dad backed me up
yesterday otherwise
i could have been in a lot of trouble
excellent
the next one is go without
to go without so what exactly does that
phrasal verb mean does it mean
to leave something important behind
to manage to live without some essential
items
or to move or travel somewhere without
using a car
it's b to manage to live without
essential items
or manage to live despite not having the
things that you need or you'd like
to have i'd rather go without food than
work at this terrible company
now go without is transitive and
inseparable
and it's so important to look out for
these things when you're learning to use
phrasal verbs
accurately in english transitive and
inseparable so that means that
yes we need an object but no
we cannot put that object between the
verb and the particles
right got it good
moving right along we have the phrasal
verb
fall for to fall for someone
so does this mean to trip over another
person
and land on the ground does it mean
to stop being friends or having contact
with another person
or to have strong romantic feelings
about another person
it's c to have strong romantic feelings
about another person
we say i'm falling for you
it's the same as saying i'm falling in
love with you
i'm starting to have really strong
romantic feelings for you
and it's a wonderful feeling okay next
up
we have look down on
someone to look down on someone so does
it mean
to have a low opinion of someone
to watch someone from a higher position
like maybe up on a balcony or
to avoid eye contact because you don't
want to look at someone
the correct answer is a to have a low
opinion of someone
now this phrasal verb implies that the
person who is looking
down on someone else thinks that they
are better than that person in some way
she thinks they look down on her because
she doesn't have a degree
so this phrasal verb has two particles
look down on please make sure that
you're using
both of them don't say look
down her or look on
her neither of these have the same
meaning
okay it's look down on her
okay so now we have the phrasal verb
pass away
to pass away so this one was in my most
recent phrasal verbs lesson did you see
it
does it mean to give something to
someone
to die or to drive
too far
the answer is b to die so this is a more
sensitive and polite way of saying that
someone has died
he passed away from natural causes
now it's really important to note here
that pass away
is intransitive so there's no object
needed and that also makes this phrasal
verb
inseparable so there's only one way that
you can use it accurately
next we have pick up on to pick up on
something so what does it mean
does it mean to lift something off the
ground
or a flat surface to be
really mean to another person
or to understand something that is not
communicated directly
the answer is c to understand something
that is not
communicated directly when you pick up
on something
you learn about maybe you learn about it
through little pieces of information
that you connect
together in your own mind he didn't pick
up on her bad
mood now
things are going to get a little bit
harder are you ready for this
so these next phrasal verbs are more
advanced
if you know these it means that you're
already operating at a really high
level with your english if you
understand them awesome if you use them
amazing but if you don't that's perfect
you're building your skills and you're
leveling up your english now
to brush up on to brush up on
something maybe we need to brush up on
this one
does it mean to sweep something from the
ground
up onto a higher surface
maybe it means to do your hair in an
elaborate
style up on top of your head
or does it mean to improve or refresh
your knowledge of something
maybe something that you've already
learnt
the answer is c to improve your
knowledge or refresh something that you
already
have learned so this is a verb that we
tend to use when we are coming back to a
skill that we haven't used in a while
maybe you lived in the uk for a while
but it's been about
10 years since you were there and you
were frequently speaking english
maybe you're feeling a little rusty a
little out of practice
so you need to brush up on those skills
right
she wants to brush up on her english
vocabulary
now notice the word order here in this
sentence we've got our verb
our particles and our object and that's
fixed we can't change it okay because
that phrasal verb is
inseparable the next one is butt in
to butt in what do you think do you know
what it means
does it mean to use your bottom to open
a door
to interrupt a conversation or
to disagree with a statement that
someone else has made
so the correct answer is b to interrupt
a conversation but in is definitely
informal
maybe even a little bit rude especially
when you're using it to describe what
someone else did
because it's almost as if the person
who's interrupting
doesn't really care about what's
happening they don't really
care about the fact that the other
person is talking it's quite
rude henry kept butting in with silly
jokes every time i explained i had lost
my job
it was really rude now this phrasal verb
is
intransitive and therefore it's also
inseparable right so nothing can come
between
but and in it's almost like the verb
itself can't be interrupted right you
can't
interrupt that phrasal verb because it
knows
exactly what that behavior is like
well how about this one to drift apart
do you know this phrasal verb does it
mean
to move slowly with no control or
direction
does it mean to fall asleep slowly or
to become less friendly or less close
with someone
the correct answer is c when two people
in a relationship slowly start to become
less close they drift apart you know
maybe they want
different things in life or their values
have changed
but either way their relationship will
gradually come to an
end over time over the years mary and
johnny drifted apart
moving right along what about the verb
fight
off to fight something off
any idea what it means to free yourself
from illness
or desire to do something that you
shouldn't to escape
a swarm of insects or to try hard not to
show
strong emotions
the correct answer is a to free yourself
from an illness
or a desire to do something that you
shouldn't
so to fight something off is like
overcoming something
and it's used all the time to talk about
recovering from an illness
that is really common meredith came down
with a cold
but luckily she was able to fight off
the infection
or she was able to fight the infection
off
but we can also use it when we overcome
an urge or a desire to do something
he fought off the desire to eat another
tub of ice cream
i wish i had that guy's self-control now
did you notice that the word
order changed with these examples well
that's because
this is a transitive phrasal verb and
it's also
separable so that gives us a little bit
of flexibility when it comes to forming
our sentence we can do it in a few
different ways
all right let's talk about let on
to let on it's a bit of a funny one does
it mean
to allow someone to sit on your lap
or to lease or rent a property to
another person
or to share a secret
the correct answer is c to share a
secret so if you let on it means
you're telling other people something
that you know
something that they're not supposed to
know or that
you don't want them to know sarah's
already led on that she's thinking about
leaving the company last but definitely
not least
is rally around to rally
around someone does it mean
to offer help and support
to attend a protest and march through
the city
or to take part in long-distance
motorbike or car races
the answer is a to offer help and
support
so when you rally around someone you're
showing them that you care
by offering that moral support or that
help
whatever they need to make their
situation easier
when james was ill his friends rallied
around him
so this one is transitive see the object
here
but it's inseparable which means that
you can't change the order of the words
all right rally him around
no rally around him
that's the way to do it and that's all
folks
awesome work to you well done for
sticking with me all the way through
i'm curious how did you go i hope that
there were a few
new phrasal verbs in there or maybe some
that you'd forgotten about that we've
sparked in your memory again don't worry
at all

reviewed them now

phrasal verbs back in your mind again
right you're reviewing you're checking
you're remembering
just make sure that you practice using
them now while they're still fresh in
your mind so

a notebook or even

you've got doubts or
you've got questions just add them into
