is a phrasal verb that the staff like
waiter or waitress will use at the
restaurant they may come to your table
and say can i take down your order they

ring up
the next word is ring up ring up we use
ring up to mean total to total something
to total a bill to total the amount of
something at a restaurant or shopping
too for example
so again this is a word that waits staff
the staff the restaurant may use so when

ring up your total and you will pay that
amount at the end of your meal so in a
sentence i'll ring up your bill at the
cash register
set down
the next phrasal verb is set down set
down so we use set down
for items which we are carrying and then
we set or we place on a table so usually
there's like a downward motion if you're
carrying something like you can use it
for a backpack if you want to like to
set down to to drop something to leave
something but to put it it like on a
table to put it in a place specifically
there so
we can use set down at a restaurant like
please set the plate down on the table
or
can you set down my drink over there or
i'll set down your order over here so
set down means to place something
something you were carrying to place it
on a table or to place it on a desk so
set down in a sentence please set down
the plates carefully
cut up
the next phrasal verb is cut up cut up
we use cut up to mean cut but cut up
usually means to cut all of something so
if you receive like
i don't know chicken or beef or pork or
some large item you need to cut
we say cut up to mean cut
the entire piece to cut everything you
receive so in a sentence make sure to
cut up steak into small pieces for
example it's easier for children to eat
or i take a long time to cut up my meat
for example so cut up means cut
everything
cut into
the next phrasal verb is cut into so to
cut into means just to make one slice
into something usually we use cut into
for like the first slice like we use it
maybe to check that a
something is properly cooked sometimes
so like to cut into a chicken or to cut
into turkey
we usually use this for the first slice
so the first experience like when i cut
into the chicken all the juices came out
it looked delicious i'm excited to cut
into my thanksgiving turkey this year or
um i'm i'm really looking forward to
cutting into
that steak later it looked great so cut
into is kind of that
first cut that initial cut where you can
see
maybe what the what the meat looks like
or you get you get a sense of how the
rest of your meal is going to taste so
cut into the first slice i want to cut
into my dinner later
stop up
the next phrasal verb is sop up sop up
so to stop means to soak with liquid to
soak with liquid to sop up therefore is
like to to soak to soak liquid from like
a bowl or from a cup or something but we
use this with bread usually so
if you're eating soup for example and
there is leftover soup in your bowl you
can take bread and sop up soak up the
liquid from your soup with bread so to
sop up liquid so to soak and pick up
something is the image here so to stop
up bro so for example i like to sop up
my soup with bread or i like to sop up
extra sauce with a biscuit for example
so usually there's some bread and some
sauce or liquid we use with this phrase
cool down the next phrasal verb is cool
down cool down means to let something uh
become lower temperature
naturally so to let something cool down
really means to allow something to
gradually go to a lower temperature if
you make a pie for example it's very hot
when it comes out of the oven so
oftentimes the recipe will say allow to
cool down and serve for example so
meaning after the pie is taken from the
oven you should let the temperature
cool you should let the temperature come
down before eating so to cool down is
like reducing the temperature but just
naturally over time so in a sentence
make sure to let your mashed potatoes
cool down before you try to eat them
heat up
so the next phrasal verb is heat up heat
up we use heat up usually to talk about
microwave use or oven use so it's taking
a cold food or maybe a frozen food
usually just a cold food kept in the
refrigerator put it in the microwave and
turn it on to heat the food to make it
warm again so to heat up is like to
move the heat level up to increase the
temperature of the food we use the
phrasal verb heat up to do this so for
example i like to heat up my pizza uh
before i eat it my leftover pizza or you
should heat up yesterday's soup it would
be really good to have that tonight or
maybe we should heat up
something quick for dinner tonight so
heat up means to increase the
temperature of a cold thing
chow down
so the next phrasal verb is sort of a
slang expression it's chow down chow
down means like to eat really excitedly
it's uh it's not a phrasal verb i
personally use very much but um you can
use it to express your enthusiasm for
something so um it's typically used for
like uh sort of junk food type things or
like really really um
everyday foods like in in the usa it's
like sandwiches or hot dogs or
like something you might get at like a
sporting event we'll say like i want to
chow down on a sandwich later or i want
to chow down on some pizza after this so
to chow down is like enthusiastically
eat like you're not thinking about being
polite you're not worried about looking
nice while you eat you're just enjoying
eating very enthusiastically so like oh
let's chow down on some pizza later for
example so or for example like we're
