Eat Sleep Dreamers, welcome back to another lesson with me Tom. Today we're getting romantic,
that's right. We're gong to be looking at the ten essential phrasal verbs for love and
relationships. You're going to like this one.
Are you ready to learn ten phrasal verbs to do with love and relationships? Because these
are going to be super useful. Now before we do, I think we need to get in to the romantic
mood. So perhaps a little quote about love might get us in the mood.
Wow! That was deep! Who wrote that? Justin Bieber. Justin Bieber? OK! Would you like
me to sing it? No, you are alright. You don't need to sing it. No o, you are ok. Are you sure?
Quickly.
Let's look at our ten phrasal verbs and we're going to work through the stages of a relationship.
Before we start I just want to remind you guys that I've done a video explaining how
to use phrasal verbs correctly. So if you want a little bit more information about phrasal
verbs and the way that they work, click the link just above and that will teach you everything
that you need to know.
Ok, our first phrasal verb, or this one is a multi-word verb because there are multiple
words. It's to get on with someone. This means to have a good relationship with them.
To enjoy their company. Now you can get on with anyone, it could be a family member,
it could be a friend or it could be a romantic relationship as well. So this one we can kind
of use with anyone that we want. So an example sentence.
So that's saying that me and Katie,
Katie and I have a good relationship, we enjoy each other's company.
So maybe you get on
with someone and then you want to make it a romantic thing so you would ask somebody
out. To ask somebody out. This is to invite them on a date. Now when we use the word date
we mean a romantic situation, ok? So you wouldn't go on a date with your friend. That's kind
of, you'd meet, go out for dinner or whatever, it's not called a date. We reserve that for
a romantic relationship.
So hopefully she says yes, then we go on a date. Go on just
means to do the activity so to do the date.
So the date went well, ok. We had a really
nice time and maybe we went on a few more dates and then we start to become a couple.
So then you are going out.
So to be going out means to be dating, to be a couple. So
after a few months, maybe a little longer than that we grow really strong feelings and
we fall in love. Right, so if you fall in love your feelings become really strong, don't
they? And this person is your everything. So we fall in love.
I like the fact that we
use the verb fall because it suggests that we have no control. It's not a feeling that
we have any power over, it's out of our control, we fall in love. We are taken there because
of our feelings and our desires. So I quite like that, it's quite a nice phrase if you
think about it. It's quite a romantic idea that it's, you know, this is nothing to do
with us, this is just our hearts and how it feels. Uh oh! As we all know love isn't always
a smooth journey. Sometimes there are problems along the way. So if you have an argument
you could say that you fall out with someone. That means to have an argument and to not
be so close. So it could be with a friendship as well.
That means we had an argument and
we're kind of not really friends at the moment. This could be a temporary situation, we could
be friends again. It could also be a longer term situation as well. And you can also fall
out with your partner. Something else that happens in relationships is that maybe we
don't argue necessarily but slowly you change paths. Maybe you become distant from your
partner. Maybe you don't share the same interests anymore or you just aren't as close as you
used to be. So we say to drift apart. And so if you think about two people being together
and then slowly over time they drift apart, they slowly have different interests, they
feel differently about each other. An example sentence.
And that means that your relationship
isn't as strong as it used to be, it's becoming weaker. You could also use that for a friendship
as well. For a relationship as well. So you could use it for a romantic relationship or
a friendship as well. To drift apart from someone. It could be about distance so maybe
you don't see them very often. You are not in contact very often. There are lots of reasons
why we might drift apart from someone. Uh oh! What happens when someone in the relationship
chooses to be with someone outside of the relationship? Ok, this is called to cheat
on someone. So your partner decides that they want to be with someone else. It could be
for one night or it could be longer term. So this is to cheat on someone.
And maybe,
eventually you might decide to break up. And that is to end the relationship. We've got
break up and also split up. Those are exactly the same meaning.
So that's the end of a relationship.
To break up with someone or to split up with someone. But wait! There's still hope! Because
maybe you decide that actually yes this person is the right one for me and so you get back
together. And this means you then reunite as a couple. And romance is back again! So
you get back together.
So that just means they are reunited as a couple. But what if
they don't get back together? What if they decide that they are best apart? Well there's
a few phrasal verbs we use to talk about that process after a relationship. One of them
is to get over someone. And this is the kind of emotion because it's an emotional thing
isn't it when we've broken up with someone. They are still kind of in our hearts a little
bit. Maybe their memories some of the things they used to do. So it takes time for us to
feel less sad. After a relationship we feel sad, don't we? And we kind of miss the person
that we used to be with. I mean, sometimes. So this process is all about getting over
the other person. It's about kind of, recovering from the relationship and feeling more positive.
So at the beginning you feel very sad, you miss them and with time you get over them.
You recover from the sadness and you become happier more positive about the relationship.
And maybe then you can think about another relationship.

verbs guys to do with love and relationships. What I want you to do is to try and use one
