phrasal verbs for you essential ones to
learn because
they're used every day to talk about
communicating with people now there are
lots of different phrasal verbs in
english to help us
talk about talking to people generally
phrasal verbs are informal ways of
expressing ideas in english
which means they are used every day
they're really common in conversations
they're extremely useful to learn and
practice
i think you know that a phrasal verb is
just a regular verb
with one or two particles that follow
particle
huh don't let that confuse you a
particle is either
a preposition or an adverb right put
down
put away put together put up with
these are all examples of phrasal verbs
and they all
have a meaning that is different from
the verb
put right they have their own meaning so
they need to be learned and practiced
together
just like any other verb and that's
exactly what we're
to do in today's lesson you might want
to grab a notebook to take a few notes
down
i've got some important things to share
with you and i've also got
three ways to help you practice these
phrasal verbs

let's go
hold up i'm excited to share some news
about a brand new event from our friends
at lingoda it's the lingoda team
challenge and
it runs for seven weeks just as it
sounds the lingoda team challenge is
all about creating a team and helping
each other to cross the finish line
together
i love this idea now although it's
called a team challenge you can still
sign up and complete it as an individual
as well
which is really exciting because there
are some cool
prizes on offer for teams and for
individuals who complete the challenge
and they include hundreds of group
classes private lessons
and a grand prize of a trip to visit one
of four
european capital cities for you and your
whole team
and guess what if you put together the
team and you use
this key when you sign up lingoda will
give you
10 euros cashback for every team member
that you
recruit to your team just as a reward
for being the captain
i also think it's really cool that by
participating in the challenge
not only are you helping yourself and
your team but you also can help
others as well because for every team
that completes the challenge lingoda are
going to donate
language classes to those who need them
through the language scholarship program
this is a special initiative by lingoda
to help those who've been badly affected
by covert 19
to help them to improve their career
opportunities by learning another
language
let me tell you how you and your team
can earn hours to give to the
scholarship program and it depends on
which
challenge you sign up for first there's
the challenge
which is three classes a week for seven
weeks if you complete
all 21 classes lingoda will donate four
hours
for each team member to the scholarship
program
or you could do the super challenge
which is five classes a week for seven
weeks
if you complete all 35 classes lingoda
will donate
seven hours of time for each team member
to the scholarship program
what's cool about this challenge is that
everyone in your team can join the
challenge
in any language or at any level that
they choose
you don't have to go to all the classes
together you just need to complete the
challenge together
so you need to sign up by the 1st of
november and complete all the classes in
the challenge within
7 weeks from the day that you sign up
as you know lingoda classes are
available in english
business english german french and
spanish
24 hours a day seven days a week with
friendly
and professional native teachers staying
focused and motivated with english is
so much easier with mates right so if
you're the kind of person who
loves encouraging friends and you love
the idea that
the effort that you put in now helps
yourself
but it helps others too then grab some
mates and get involved i'll put the link
with
all the details and the rules in the
description down below
make sure you read the rules before you
sign up and who knows
you might be one of the lucky ones
taking your team on a trip to europe
good luck tricky little things phrasal
verbs aren't they
you've got to learn the meaning and yeah
there are
multiple meanings for some phrasal verbs
but
you also need to keep a few other things
in mind
relating to the structure of your
sentence and how to use each phrasal
verb
correctly and that means knowing if the
phrasal verb is transitive or
intransitive separable or
inseparable now if you're scratching
your head
and you're wondering what on earth
i talk about all of this in
that lesson up there don't worry about
it right now i'm going to link to it at
the end of this video
so that you can watch it next but i've
also added
some notes about these things in the
description down below
if you want to check it out just to get
your head around it
but i am going to include these symbols
throughout the lesson so that you can
pay attention to
how you need to use these phrasal verbs
to use them correctly
now there are some really common phrasal
verbs to do with speaking and
conversations in english
ones like catch up hang out all of these
phrasal verbs
i'm just gonna skip over them because
for one i've been over them in lessons
before
and if you want to watch those lessons
i've linked to them down in the
description below
these are more advanced more challenging
phrasal verbs to practice today bring up
now we use this phrasal verb in multiple
ways but when we want to
start discussing something we use it
there's something i want to bring up
so it's a really great way to introduce
a new topic
and it's usually about something that's
serious or important you know you need
some time or some space to talk about it
it's usually used
when you're in a professional context or
you want to talk about something
seriously let's bring this up at our
next team meeting
now we can easily replace this phrasal
verb
with the verb raise right it's a more
formal
synonym so in even more formal
situations you could use
uh rays to get across
now this phrasal verb is often used with
the verb
try to show that you're attempting to
communicate a message
when you want someone to understand
something
do you sometimes have trouble getting
your meaning across in english
here's a cool tip there are several
nouns that are often used with
get across and so learning them together
is going to help you to sound more
natural and more accurate as you use
this phrasal verb
so we use get across with facts
feelings ideas a message
meaning a point or a point of view
all of these things are used with get
across
am i getting the message across clearly
i'm trying to get my point across but
paul keeps
butting in i'm gonna get to that phrasal
verb soon
let on this phrasal verb is used when
you're talking about something that is
meant to be a secret so it's actually
often used in negative sentence
structures
like this one don't let on that you know
the news
i haven't mentioned it to jess yet but
it's not always negative
i don't think i trust him i think he
knows more than he lets on
have you ever jumped in on a
conversation
this is a great phrasal verb for
interrupting
it's very informal do you mind if i jump
in here
i've got something to share i want to
say it we don't
literally mean jump in
jump in is just an informal synonym of
interrupt do you mind if i interrupt
do you mind if i jump in they're the
same thing
the phrasal verb is just more casual
more informal
now but in is also used for interrupting
but very informal and perhaps a little
rude when you
when you're using that to describe what
someone else did it suggests that that
person who's doing the action
they didn't really care about the other
people in the conversation or what
they've been talking about
they just interrupted and it was quite
rude they buttered in
and it's often you do the thing i told
you to do the other day because i need
you to do it
anyway to butt in means to join
a conversation or an activity without
being asked to or invited to
i was speaking with sue after she lost
her job and then
jim butts in and starts talking about
his new promotion
so it's quite a selfish action right
butt
in to blurt out this is quite a fun one
to blurt something out to blurt
out something means to say something
without
thinking about the effect it will have
and it's usually because you're
nervous or you're excited imagine that
a friend told you that she was pregnant
but she specifically said
don't mention it to anyone yet because i
haven't told anyone else
but then later in the day you saw
another friend someone you hadn't seen
in quite a while and you were giving
them all the updates about life and work
and then you say oh guess what melanie's
pregnant
it just slipped out of your mouth before
you even thought about it
that is blurting it out then you'd have
to call her up and you'd have to say
i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i just blurted
it out i didn't think
oh to dry up this is when you
stop talking because you haven't got
anything else to say or you don't know
what to say
and this is something that you
definitely don't want to happen
in a conversation right when everyone
runs out of things to say
then you gotta kind of politely just
make an excuse
and leave steve's a nice enough guy but
our conversations always dry up after a
minute or two
it's kind of hard to get to know him so
this phrasal verb
can be used in multiple ways it's
sometimes used when you're trying to
call
someone and they don't answer ah
i'm trying to get through but there's no
answer but it's also used when you're
trying to make
someone understand what you're trying to
say
it's difficult to get the message
through to my team because we all work
remotely i'm trying to get the message
through to paul
but he's not listening to talk
over this phrasal verb is used to
discuss
a problem or a plan and usually
it's when you're trying to find a
solution or resolve it in some way
it's when you're a little stuck and you
know you've got to
talk about it some more so that you can
come to a resolution or
to make it clear and when you use it
you'll
always need to use an object as well all
right you'll need to
talk over an issue a plan
something it or this whatever okay
it's something that has to be talked
over
i know you're upset let's talk it over
tonight when you get home
we need to talk over what happened this
morning
sometimes you might even hear people
using talk over
in the context of speaking over the top
of someone else
usually as a way to interrupt they might
say
i don't mean to talk over you but we've
already decided what to do
so in this context it's always followed
by a person
followed by the person who's being
interrupted
to talk around so when you want to talk
someone around you want to convince them
or you want to persuade them
to agree with you right so it kind of
suggests
that the person didn't agree with you to
start with
and you're trying to convince them that
your idea is the right one is the best
one i didn't want to go
but he succeeded in talking me round
to shut down you might know this phrasal
verb already
because it has a common meaning to
close something usually permanently like
it might be a restaurant
that gets shut down but we also use it
you know to talk about a computer when
it stops working we shut down the
computer
but it is also informally used during
conversations
when you get rejected especially if your
hopes are up
it was kind of awkward she just shut him
down mid-sentence
so she just stopped him in the middle of
his sentence and told him that his idea
was no good or that he's wrong
she interrupted in a rude way and shut
his idea down
so it's definitely a negative thing to
do or to
experience yourself right my boss didn't
like the suggestion he
shut me down straight away now it would
be much better if your boss
backed you up right which means to
give support by telling other people
that they agree with something that you
said or something that you did
thanks for backing me up during the
meeting i hope my colleagues back me up
because
otherwise my boss won't believe me who
would have thought that there were
so many phrasal verbs to talk about
communicating with someone in english
i mean there are several more ones that
i didn't even get to in this lesson
i wonder if you can think of any of them
can you think of any of the phrasal
verbs to do with
communicating speaking and conversations
are there any that i missed if you can
think of some add them down in the
comments below
so i said at the start of this video
that i've got
three tips three ways to practice using
phrasal verbs now the first is to
hit that pause button and write some
sentences
down in the comments below this video so
that i can come down
and check your sentences give some
feedback
make sure that you're using them
correctly while they're fresh in your
mind
make sure you're using the ones that
you're feeling a little unsure about
all right test out your skills and get
some feedback
another option is to make some flash
cards to practice with
so all of the phrasal verbs that we went
through write them down
on one side and then write the
definition on the other
practice and test yourself to try and
remember the meaning of these phrasal
verbs
and lastly my favorite is to use
the news media to help learn about these
phrasal verbs because people are often
reporting on
what people said and what they said to
each other right so it's a great way
to practice and a cool way to do it is
by using google search
just grab the phrasal verb go to the
news section of google
and search for it and see how it comes
up look at the words and the structures
around that phrasal verb
see how it's used in different contexts
is it
separable is it intransient pay
attention to all these things and see
how it's used in multiple contexts
which is so important it's so important
to see how these phrasal verbs are used
naturally in naturally spoken and
written
english thanks for watching and i will
see you
right there in the next lesson
