Hello and welcome back to love English I'm Leila and today I'm going to help
you learn some rather tricky phrasal verbs I know that phrasal verbs are not
your favorite subject when it comes to learning English and there are many
reasons for that whether it is the grammar understanding whether a phrasal
verb is transitive or intransitive separable or inseparable it can get a
little bit confusing luckily we do have a lesson format and I'll add it at the
end of this one but for now I'm going to focus on 25 phrasal verbs that I think
are a little bit more difficult and a little bit more advanced in the meantime
my cat is interfering right Maya really I am so these phrasal verbs I think are
some of the more advanced phrasal verbs often that these phrasal verbs have
multiple meanings and the meanings that I'll be giving you are the less commonly
used but important to know in English now before we get started don't forget
click that subscribe button and of course at the notifications bow so you
know when we have uploaded new lessons for you and of course you can follow us
on our social media Instagram Facebook and Twitter
so 25 advanced phrasal verbs you need to know so number one now this phrasal verb
you would probably have heard of bring up now most commonly this phrasal verb
to bring up is used when we are talking about raising a child from a child to an
adult I was brought up by my mother and don't confuse this with grow up to
grow up is more active I grew up but my mother brought me up she raised me now
with bring up there is another meaning in fact there's quite a
new meanings but in this one I'm going to explain that bring up means to raise
an issue to mention something oh I can't believe he brought up that I was late to
class this morning so embarrassed did she bring up that issue in the meeting
today she said she was going to so to bring up is to mention something or to
raise an issue she brought it up in the meeting now you can see how one phrasal
verb with multiple meanings can get really complicated and a little bit
confusing and if you are interested in learning more advanced vocabulary then

meaning I've got a little bit distracted number one was to bring up to mention or
to raise an issue number two is to cut something out you can tell someone cut
it out or cut that out and that simply means stop it if someone sat there
changing the channel on the television you could say come on cut it out stop it
it's a very good way of telling children off if they are misbehaving as well
number three to hold back to stop yourself from doing or saying something
I held back from making a decision until I knew more number four to go on to go
on to do something often when we say go on it means continue go on keep talking
but in this case I went on to study English after my a-levels
I went on to study my master's degree after my bachelor's degree so it means
to start something new or different number five to own up to something to
own up to doing something I owned up to eating her chocolate it means to confess
to admit that you have done something wrong number six to rule out means to
exclude something to discount or reject or discard something could even be used

ruled out that University because it wasn't there a beach so to exclude
something meaning it's no longer an option or a choice for you anymore

my mum was being mean to my brother so I stuck up for him to support or defend
someone he stood up for me when they were being mean number eight

all the fuel driving around looking for somewhere to park number nine to give
way to something or someone to be replaced by someone or something usually
often because it's better or cheaper or easier the small corner shop had to give

by destroying his favorite jumper not very nice I'm a thirteen to give in to
surrender to admit defeat her mum gave in and let her stay out
with her friends late so to surrender usually your will you might be
disagreeing with someone and then you give in you accept what they want number
fourteen go ahead in this case you would be allowing someone to go in front of
you if you're in a queue or waiting for the bus you might say to the nice old
lady go ahead just to be polite so they don't have to wait around standing too
long it could also be about giving someone permission maybe to speak sorry
what did you want to say go ahead number 15 to hold out for something or
someone I'm holding out for a better offer
meaning I'm waiting to see if something better comes along or I'm holding out
for the right man or woman means you're waiting for that perfect person to come

not sure which is which they're twins and I always get them mixed up I never
know who is Tim and who is Tom number 17 to nod off to nod off remember
not I think I've taught you this one before but I wanted to include it in my
advanced phrasal verbs to not off it means to fall asleep unintentionally

you keep nodding off 18 to set aside to save and to keep for later it could be
