breakfast I do some yoga. I do this every single morning so it's really important that I do yoga
so I can be like my best self. Then after that I look in the mirror and I tell myself how great I
am because I think positive affirmations are really important in today's society.
Like I need to remind myself that there is no one else in this world that is more important than me!

To take something to someone's house. Transitive and separable. Okay okay,
this is the same as bring round and bring around there are no differences, so no more! Next one! I
could bring Duke over as an example? NO! To bring up. Definition one: to raise children
or animals. Transitive and separable. Students make lots of mistakes with this one so listen
closely. Use your head, your mind and your brain. Students often say "my parents grew me"
but this is WRONG so don't say it. If you do say it I will want to die. Students also often
say "my parents grew me up" but this is wrong so don't say it. If you do say it I will want
to die. You don't grow a person and you don't grow an animal but you DO grow plants! Brilliant! Are
you a plant? Well if you say "my parents grew me" then you obviously have the brain of a plant...
The farmer is growing vegetables. I am growing a sunflower in my garden.
You cannot grow up a person because the verb GROW UP is INTRANSITIVE. It does not take an
object. To grow up means to move from immaturity to maturity and this can be physical
as well as psychologica. But again remember we cannot use an object "I grew up in London",
"You grew up in..." I don't know where.... Tell me in the comments! And subscribe! Bye! To BRING UP
means the same as to raise and that means to support an animal or a child while they grow
up. You are providing the conditions necessary for them to grow up. You are giving them shelter,
you're giving them food, you're giving them water and you're providing them with a wonderful life,
aren't you? Yes! Of course you are because you're not a terrible person!
I was brought up by my grandparents. I live in London but I was brought up in Manchester.
Definition two: to introduce a topic of conversation. Transitive and separable.
Monica, I really think that you should give Duke a chance, you know? He'd be good for you! Oh my god,
Bruce.... Do I really have to explain this to you? I am now the host of an internet hit!
The Monica show! Yeah? Soon I will have like millions of boys wanting to date me so I don't
need Duke and to be honest Bruce I don't need you either okay? Sure, Monica but aren't you worried
they might be put off by your beard? Oh Bruce why do you always bring that up? It is so obvious that
you're jealous of me, yeah? I have my own youtube channel, I have great skin, I'm beautiful and I'm
going places! Yeah? Where are you going? Nowhere! That's where! Don't bring up Monica's beard
in conversation! It's rude! I try not to bring up politics at the dinner table. And of course
