Hello students. Today’s video is phrasal verbs about restaurants. My name is Danny and welcome
to the December phrasal verbs challenge. In this lesson, I will introduce several
phrasal verbs about cooking and eating with the meaning of each phrasal verb.
After each phrasal verb you will learn small parts of an English conversation.
At the end of the lesson, we will put the conversation parts together to reveal
the full conversation. Please like, subscribe, or follow, and share this video.
The phrasal verbs we’ll study are: Eat Out, Try Out, Cut back and Cut down, Chow Down, and Sop Up
Let’s get started: The first phrasal verb is one many people know
eat out; I’ll also explain the phrase eat in. Eat out means to go out (of your home)
to eat somewhere, like a restaurant. For example, I didn’t feel like cooking yesterday, so I ate
out at a new restaurant. Eat in is the opposite. Eat in means to eat a meal at your home. Here’s
an example of a short conversation. Danny: Hey Sarah. What do you want to do for
dinner? Do you want to eat in or eat out? Sarah: Hmmmm. Let’s eat out.
The next phrasal verb is try out. Try out means to try something new or different.
To try something you haven’t tried before. I can’t wait to try out the new French restaurant.
Here’s an example of a short conversation. Danny: Ok, Do you want to try out the
new Indian food restaurant in downtown? Sarah: Sure, I love Indian food. Let’s try it out.
The next phrasal verb is cut back and cut down. Cut back means to do less of something.
Cut down has a similar meaning. To consume less of something like a kind of food. For example,
I am gaining weight I need to cut back on eating bread. Here’s an example of a short conversation.
Danny: Do you want to order bread with the curry? Sarah: I really shouldn’t have bread because I
have been gaining weight. I want to cut back on eating bread. I guess a little is ok,
I can cut back on bread later. Haha! The next phrasal verb is chow down.
Chow down means to eat something quickly.
This is a more informal phrasal verb. This burger looks delicious. I’m going to chow down on
it. Here’s an example of a short conversation. Sarah: Wow. Our curry has arrived, and it looks
delicious. I going to really chow down on it. Danny: Yes, I agree! Let’s chow down. Hahahehe
The last phrasal verb is sop up. Sop up means to absorb liquid or moisture
into something. For example, I can sop up the last of my soup with this bread.
Here’s an example of a short conversation. Sarah: That was delicious Danny. It looks like
you still have some curry left on your plate. You should sop the curry up with your bread.
Danny: Thanks for the suggestion. That will be a wonderful end to a delicious meal.
