hi welcome back to ink vidcom I'm Adam
today's lesson is again phrasal verbs
everybody's favorite lessons today we're
going to look at phrasal verbs using the
verb take again a quick review what is a
phrasal verb a phrasal verb is a verb
and a preposition when put together
giving different meanings sometimes one
sometimes two sometimes more so today
we're gonna look at take out take in
take over take up excuse me take after
take back take off take on take down
take two let's start with take out all
of you of course know take out food
you're gonna McDonald's they ask you if
you want to eat in or take out so take
out means take your food to go that's
one meaning another meaning of take out
is the literal meaning exactly what the
words mean for example you have a turkey
in the oven it is finished cooking you
take it out of the oven then there is
also the slang if you want to take
someone out you kill them you see this
in kind of the mob movies they want to
take someone out they want to
assassinate assassinate yeah I'll leave
that for now okay take in what is take
in mean a few meanings as well the first
is the most common one if your clothes
are too big if you've lost some weight
you might want to take in your shirt or
your dress or your pants you take it to
a tailor and he or she will take it and
make it smaller tighter another meaning
of take in for example if you go outside
your house and you see a cat and the cat
is named you know it's all sad and
lonely you take it in it doesn't mean
you take it into your house it of course
means that but more it means like adopt
you take it into your house you give it
a home it's part of the family so you
accept you take in you adopt something
or someone take over take over means
assume control of something so for
example if I own a big company and you
own a slightly smaller company but
you're my competition one way I can beat
you is I can take over your company I
can buy a lot of shares in your company
and I take over I take control if we're
going on a long road trip and I'm
driving and I'm getting tired I sell can
you take over the driving means we
switch and you continue driving take up
if you take up space for example it
means you use you use space you take up
space in a room another way is to say
take up is you start to do something new
like a new hobby or you start learning
something new so recently I took up
Spanish means I started going to Spanish
classes and I started to learn Spanish
now if you add with you can take
something up with someone means you can
discuss so if you have a problem in your
class and you're you're falling behind
and you're not doing so well take this
problem up with your teacher means go to
your teacher and discuss the situation
see how you can fix it okay after if you
take after someone means you behave like
them it's very similar to look like
except it's not about physical features
it's about personality so if you take
after someone you are similar to someone
in terms of character or behavior so for
example I take after my mother my sister
takes after my father my father was a
very hot-tempered man my sister is a
very hot-tempered woman so she takes
after him take back again two meanings
there's the literal meaning so I lend
you my pen you use it you finished I
take it back you I you give it back to
me it returns to me I take it back now
if I said something really mean to you
or something not nice or I made a
promise
and then I take it back means I cancel
what I said so if I said something that
made you upset and I take it back means
I apologize I take back the bad words
and everything is okay hopefully if I
made a promise and then take it back
means I'm not gonna do this promise
anymore okay so we have to be a little
bit careful about take backs
take off I think most of you know the
airplane takes off it goes down the
runway and then takes off but take off
can also mean to be very successful or
very quickly to do well so a business
starts and you know the owners are doing
what they can but suddenly the business
just takes off it becomes very popular
very successful making lots of money
hopefully again take on if you take
something on means you're you're facing
the challenge okay so I don't know how
to do something but I will take it on I
will try to do it I will challenge it
now you can also take someone on means
confront so this guy has been bullying
me for a long time and I'm fed up I
don't I don't want to do I can't take it
anymore
I will take him on I will challenge him
to a fight and I will stand and win
takedown but if I take him on but he's
actually much bigger than me he might
take me down I mean take me down to the
ground and I'm beaten okay so that's one
meaning of takedown is to beat someone
up basically or to knock someone down
another meaning is to write notes so in
your class
the lecturer the professor is speaking
speaking speaking you don't have time to
read the book as he's speaking so the
best thing you can do is just take down
notes take down the most important
information right right it's in your
book take two a few meanings as well if
you take two someone means you you have
a sort of connection with that person
you like that person you have a feeling
that you want to help this person or you
want to be around this person if you
take something to
someone or somewhere then you are just
carrying it so I'm going to take this
pen to the other room okay in the other
room is one of my favorite students I
really took to her or him or whatever
the case make may be so take two and a
little bonus I got an idiom so this way
this time we're looking at take under
but take under by itself doesn't really
mean anything in the idiom to take
someone under your wing means basically
to tell you to take someone as an
apprentice or as a protege this is an
excellent word protege is like a student
but not really a student you're teaching
him how to do something specific you're
not teaching him or her in a class
you're showing him or her in the real
world how to do something so you take
this person under your wing means you
protect them you teach them and
hopefully one day they fly they take off
on their own okay I'm gonna put an extra
s here because I'm pretty sure it's two
S's but we'll check that after anyway if
