And this video is about my favorite word! Do I have a favorite word? Yes I do! And my favorite
word is SET! So you're telling me that your favorite word is SET!? No, no it's not. But
I have to seem enthusiastic for a youtube video! But I do love SET. I really love SET!
My name is Toby, this is SMASH English and here is every phrasal verb you need to know with SET
for the B2 First Cambridge exam. Set about. To start doing something. Inseparable and
transitive. This phrasal verb refers to... Toby has set about explaining the phrasal verb
set about!Ccan you not do that please! I need to explain with my face. The people
at home want to see this face! This face is money! No, mate. No, no, no. You have set about this in
the wrong way! Uh? Why? I don't know it was an example, for the audience yeah! Oh, okay, uh,
yeah, that was really helpful. Thanks now let's set about the other phrasal verbs!
Breathe... just breathe. Set aside.
To save something to use later. Separable and transitive. I try to set aside as much money as
possible every month. Jesus, that is such a boring example! Why don't you set it aside for a moment
and think of a better one? Yes you're right, it is a terrible example because SMASH English
makes no money! Ah I've got a better example! Do you love SMASH English!? Yes we do! Do you
want to watch more SMASH English!? Yes I do but there are only 24 hours in a day
I must go to school, I must go to work, I must go to the toilet, I must have a shower, I must brush
my teeth. Oh it's such a problem! Wow! Yes that is a problem! But you can add SMASH English videos
to your WATCH LATER playlist on youtube! Don't watch them all now! Set some aside for later!
And subscribe! Now! Please please! Set back. To delay the progress of something.
Separable and transitive. I was recovering from my depression well but when SMASH English did
not upload a video last week it really set me back. Toby keeps cancelling my lessons with him
it is setting back my learning. And I will always put my SMASH English videos before my lessons
because my lessons, they make me money! SMASH English makes me...
yeah I've got to go... I've got to go... Set forth.
To start a journey. Inseparable and intransitive
The brave explorer set forth on his journey. Wow that's a great voice, isn't it!? Yes,
Toby it's great! You are so talented! I know, I know. But I did it for a reason!
You do things with reasons!? Yes! Yes, I do! Remember if you set forth on something it's
formal, it's literary, it's exciting. You set forth on a quest or an adventure
or a life-changing journey like your journey right now with SMASH English to pass the B2 First exam!
Yeah... just don't use this for something normal. You don't set forth on your journey to school
every day. No. It's literary, it's exciting so use it for literary and exciting things! Which means
that I can never use this phrasal verb because my life is boring and not exciting and I hate it. Now
let us set forth together and confront our next phrasal verb with SET! My favorite word! Set off.
Definition one: to start a journey. Inseparable and intransitive.
Yeah this is the same as set forth but it is not literary, it is not formal, it is very boring.
I set off to school = I went to school. I love school. Yay learning is fun...
I hated school mate! It was terrible! Bruce, you didn't go to school!
Yeah exactly, you idiot. It's logic! I didn't go because I hated it! But you did go to university
and I know that Bruce because you mentioned it in part three of the B2 First Speaking exam! Do
you want to watch that video? Yes! Yes you do! Because if you are taking the B2 First speaking
exam it is very important that you understand what to do or you could fail! So watch that video
after this one! Though watch all of this one! This one's really important as well! Uh,
Toby I'm gonna set off home now all right? So uh I'll see you in a bit yeah? Cool.
Don't worry guys! Bruce is not going anywhere! That was just an example. Hey! Bruce!? Oh...
Definition two. To explode a bomb or ring an alarm. Separable and transitive. This is the
same as the phrasal verb GO OFF... kind of. A fire alarm goes off: it makes a noise. Or it is SET OFF
by something like a fire for example. A burglar alarm GOESS OFF or it can be SET OFF by
a burglar or something, yeah. An alarm that wakes you up in the morning GOES OFF it is not SET OFF
however you do SET the alarm before you go to bed. This means to choose the time that the alarm makes
its noise or the times that the alarm GOESS OFF. But you already knew that didn't you!? No you
didn't? Well then! You need to watch this video all about phrasal verbs with GO! Go! You get it?
Go? Go! I make the same joke in that video and in that video it is equally as funny as this video.
Set out. Definition one: to start a journey. Inseparable and intransitive. Seriously another
journey? But again it's slightly different. We can say I set out last night. That just means I left
my house last night. Usually to start an important journey something with a goal or a target. We can
also say: I set out ON something. For example: I set out ON my journey to discover the meaning of
life. But we do not need to set out on journeys like these because we know the meaning of life!
It's SMASH English videos! That's why we live! For this.... Or we can set out FOR a
destination. I set out for England, for Japan, for Mozambique, for Lebanon, for Australia, for
anywhere in the world actually.... Definition two: to aim or intend
to do something. Inseparable and intransitive. The young entrepreneur set out to make his millions.
SMASH English sets out to teach you the English you need to know to pass the b2
First exam! So SMASH subscribe! Yes! Here the phrasal verb SET OUT is followed by
TO plus the INFINITIVE. It is very similar to the verb to AIM. The meaning of set out here is
very similar to our first meaning except the journey isn't towards a destination
but instead towards an achievement and isn't that exciting? Yes it is very very exciting. Set up.
Definition one: prepare equipment for use later. Separable and transitive. My grandpa is terrible
with mobile phones. I had to set his up for him. Before the concert the road crew set up the stage.
Definition 2: to start an organization. Separable and transitive. The business was set up with the
intention of providing cheap and affordable internet to the masses. And I set up SMASH
English to help you pass your B2 First Cambridge exam! You what? SMASH English an organization?
It's just you, mate! Yeah and you. Me? You. But I am you! Yes, and I am you too, Bruce. And you!
Yes, you, watching now. We are all one at SMASH English. Seriously, I don't even understand what
you're saying now... I come back here and you're just talking rubbish! Why!? Why do
I do this every week!? Yes maybe SMASH English should become a cult and I could be the king
and you would follow me and do everything I said... Anyway and with that we are finished! Now
