do you want to learn english real quick
and fast there are interesting ways to
do that so that's why today you're here
with me today i'm going to help you
learn english real fast but how so do
you see the topic 40 phrasal verbs for
giving instructions today you are
learning 40 phrasal verbs but how can
phrasal verbs alone teach you english so
actually these phrasal verbs are
complete sentences so just by saying
cheer up you have a complete sentence do
you want to know the meaning of all
these phrasal verbs then keep watching
this is michelle your tutor for the day
[Music]
great so let's get started but before we
get started let's actually find out what
are phrasal verbs so here you see
all these words
and here we have the word cheer which is
a verb and same goes for lighten chill
calm and all of these phrasal verbs
along with that we have a preposition so
basically a phrasal verb is a
combination of a verb and a preposition
but in this situation they form a
complete sentence so if you learn all
these 40 phrasal verbs i can assure you
that you will gain great fluency and you
will know what to say in lots of
situations by giving the correct
instructions so let's look at the first
one that we have
cheer up
what do we mean by cheer up so do you
know someone who is very sad around you
or maybe you are very sad today then i
would ask you to cheer up which means
that i would ask you to stop feeling sad
or stop feeling miserable about your
situation and to become
happy so if you want someone who's very
sad to become happy you would tell them
cheer up
and we always follow this with an
exclamation mark
all right
the next one that we have is lighten up
does it mean same as cheer up well it's
very near to cheer up it does not have
the same meaning but it's very near so
you would use lighten up for a person
who's really stressed who's very worried
so maybe somebody has an exam tomorrow
and you want to help them feel better so
you would not say cheer up but you would
tell them to lighten up which means
don't feel so stressed it's okay
so this is lighten up for you
the next one that we have is
chill out so chill out is an alternative
to lighten up so again if someone is
very stressed maybe they have a meeting
in you know just 10 minutes you could
tell them all the best and chill out
it's fine you're gonna be good
so chill out for you
now here we have
calm down
okay don't be worried you learn english
very soon by the end of this lesson when
you complete all these 40 phrasal verbs
so calm down and don't worry that's how
you use this
cam means to you know feel easy and not
feel worried so this uh lighten up chill
out and calm down are used for a person
who's really worried
i hope you're not one of them
okay
the next one we have is get out
get out of the room
this is extremely rude and be careful to
not use this with anyone how much ever
angry you are
so to get out means to ask someone to
leave the room if you want somebody to
leave the space that you are with them
then you would say get out
and that's a complete thought
okay
other ways of saying get out are even
more rude okay
show off and push off
these two are often used in british
english
so they are very very rude because they
are slangs
but
you can also use them when you want
someone to leave the room humorously so
you have a friend in the room and you
just enough mood to joke around you
could you could use these slang words to
say show off a push off
so shove means push which means move
away or go away
so show off and push off for you have
the same meaning as get out get out is
more formal and push off and show off
are more informal and used in british
english
the next one that we have is
pipe down
when would you use this so the way i'm
saying is pipe down
so if you're in a meeting or if you're
in a very serious conversation with
someone and there's someone around you
making noise murmuring constantly and
you want them to keep quiet
you could always say keep quiet which is
more
general and almost everyone knows it but
if you want to sound a little bit
different you could say
pipe down which means don't make so much
noise
so pipe down for you and pipe down is
not rude you could often use them use it
sorry and the next one we have is shut
up now this is obviously an alternative
to pipe down and you have heard it
earlier the reason that we have it in
this list is not to tell you the meaning
but to tell you to not use it because
it's very very rude so unless you're
speaking to a very close friend you may
not want to say shut up okay
and if you're talking to a brit and they
actually want you to shut up they might
tell you to
belt up which means again the same thing
do not make so much noise don't talk or
keep quiet
so
pipe down shut up and belt up for you
this means to do not make so much noise
okay the next one we have is
uh we have some guests coming in
right when you have guests coming in how
do you welcome them you welcome them by
saying
come in how are you so come in is the
way to greet your guests by welcoming
them in your house by asking them to
come inside your house so if you say
come in to greet someone that's
absolutely correct you don't always have
to say good morning good evening you
could just say please come in all right
and if your guests are very very hungry
and you have presented them food you
could ask them to dig in which means to
start eating so if you want your guests
to start eating the food that you've
offered them you could say dig in or
start eating
so a much better way to start eating is
to say
dig in what do we mean by dig actually
so dig means you know if you're
digging something in the ground or if
you're taking something out from the
ground that's called digging inside the
ground now if you ask someone to dig in
the food it means to eat the food
quickly and obviously they're not going
to start digging the ground at your home
okay
the next one we have is hurry up hurry
up hurry up which means do something
real fast and this is also a very common
phrasal verb it's a complete sentence
when you want someone to hurry up it's
enough to say hurry up which means do it
quickly come on be fast so hurry up for
you
all right
the next one we have is
hold on
please hold on don't move
this means i'm asking you to wait i'm
asking you to stop doing what you're
doing and wait for me so if someone is
leaving the room and you want to catch
up with them you would say hey
hold on okay or you could also say hang
on which has the same meaning as hold on
so if you want someone to wait for you
you could say
hold on or
hang on
sometimes you might hear these phrasal
verbs over the phone as well when you're
having a conversation with somebody and
they want you to wait over the phone
they might tell you hold on or hang on
okay
the next one we have is look out
there might be someone around you
or watch out for the car be careful
so if somebody around you is in danger
and you want them to be careful watch
out or watch your step which means watch
carefully where you're walking otherwise
you might just trip so if you want
someone to wait and go carefully you
might tell them look out or watch out
generally in a very dangerous situation
okay and if you want someone to walk
carefully you could say look out for
your step or watch your step
all right
the next one we have is
buckle down what do we mean by buckle
down buckle down means work hard do your
work seriously so if somebody is not
working very hard and is slogging around
in the office you could say hey buckle
down come on we have only one hour to
finish the project so this means you
want them to work harder
okay come on you guys buddy up which
means find a friend find a partner and
enjoy the party so if you see someone in
a party who's really alone and not
talking to someone anybody you could say
hey buddy come on it's time you buddy up
which means you find a partner or make a
friend at the party
okay
bugger off
bugger off has the same meaning as
um
get out bugger off means to ask someone
to leave the room or go away and it's
very very rude
the next we have is butt out butt out
means don't interfere it's my own
personal conversation so if you're
speaking to your friend and there's
another person who's overhearing you
possibly interfering your conversation
with their opinion you might say hey
butt out but again this is a slang word
and it's very rude
buzz off has the same meaning as bugger
off which means leave the room or leave
the space
okay now we have looked at these phrasal
verbs and we're going to move on to the
next ones
so close down close down means when a
business is not running well you might
want to say close it down which means
you want to shut it down
so when a business is not running well
you might want to shut it which means
you might want to close down
okay cover up so if somebody is not
wearing enough clothes you might tell
them hey cover up which means wear more
clothes
okay the next one we have is double up
double up means like let's say you're in
a classroom and your teacher wants you
to form a pair with the person sitting
next to you she may not say bear up she
might tell you to double up which means
formal pair
huh dream on you will never achieve what
you're trying to this means that
somebody it's also very rude you know if
you're trying to achieve something and
people are like ah you won't be able to
do it dream on so that's the meaning
when somebody thinks you can do what
you're trying to do
okay
it's time to fess up the mistake that

earlier sometime

sound is really irritating you maybe
they're doing something like this while
you're doing your work and you're
getting irritated you might just say lay

short for that so if i want you to
listen to me very carefully i'd say

fine
sometimes when you enter a room which is
completely full and there is no space to
sit you might you ask your friend to
just move a little bit so that you can
get some space to sit at that time
instead of saying hey move away you
could say
scoot over
give me some space
okay it's time that you smarten up which
means it's time that you start getting
more aware of the things that are
happening around you
okay we are almost summing up this

sometimes when you have had an argument
with someone in a room and you're
feeling very angry you might just want

the room and go outside the room
okay
the next one we have is work away means
come on do your all your work and finish
it up quickly so work away

that i'll soon reply back to your email

i'll reply to your email but if i say
this right back it means i'll be right
