hi everyone and welcome to the English Dannie Channel have you ever noticed that English has
a lot of verbs have you ever noticed that many of these verbs are almost the same
but mean very different things words like get out and get up or give up and give away well
you've noticed something called phrasal verbs today I'll explain a bit about the different
kinds of phrasal verbs and really focus on explaining the first type let's get started
before we start do you know exactly what a phrasal verb is well it's a combination of a
verb and one or two particles these particles are usually a preposition but can also be an
adverb so here's an example of a phrasal verb I want to give up the game is too difficult give
up is the phrasal verb the normal verb give and the preposition up these are two words but have
a meaning as if they were one word what does give up mean it means to quit see it can be a
little bit confusing so we're starting a series of videos that will explain all about the four
different kinds of phrasal verbs we'll also give you a great list of the most common phrasal verbs
in English with explanations of what they mean and how to use them this is very important for
you to learn because native speakers use phrasal verbs a lot in their daily speech
let's take a look at the different types of phrasal verbs there are 4 different kinds of
phrasal verbs transitive intransitive separable and inseparable in today's video we'll be learning
about transitive phrasal verbs to use a transitive phrasal verb the sentence must contain an object
so let's look at an example sentence we'll use a different phrasal verb turn down which means
to decline we need a subject how about the woman okay now we need a verb we're using turn it down
because turndown is a transitive phrasal verb we must add an object we cannot only say the woman
turned down this is not correct we must ask or say what did the woman turn down so let's add
an object to our sentence the woman turned down the party invitation there that's better let's
look at another example we'll use the phrasal verb bring up or brought up bring up means to
raise a child so again let's choose a subject my grandmother now we add the verb brought up
let's stop here can we finish this sentence now no brought up is a transitive phrasal verb that
requires hmmm what do we need to add an object good job let's add it my grandmother brought up
my sister there we go now the sentence is complete okay everyone thanks so much for watching stay
