hello everyone how are you today, this is
Marc I'm doing great thanks for asking
John has to make up a lesson this week I
wonder if it's up for it in this lesson
I'm going to talk about phrasal verbs so
stay tuned great in this lesson we're
going to talk about an exciting topic
that is phrasal verbs phrasal verbs are
very important in English why because we
use them every day we use them
informally so what do I mean by formally
by for example talking to someone or by
typing an email to a friend we use them
every day a phrasal verb is two or
more words put together to create a new
meaning the second point that I wrote
about phrasal verbs is they're used
mostly in informal context as opposed to
Latinate verbs they're verbs that have a
Latin root for example put off put off
is the same as postpone or let down as
opposed to disappoint and make over
which is renovate another if you want to
say renovate is more formal the third
point that I want to mention is that
there can verb + adverb the
examples here are set off which means
leave keep on which means persist sit
down obviously you know what it means
and the last one catch on be accepted
now there also can be verb + preposition
for example look after and it means to
take care or come across find the my
chance and the last one can be verb +
adverb + preposition look forward to
it means can't wait for or come up
against encounter and the last one put
up with tolerate I can't put up with
this teacher he gives me the creeps I'm joking
so also phrasal verbs can be separable
in separable or both separable phrasal
verbs are the ones that you can separate
actually for example ask somebody out
this means to invite on a date for
example I asked Mary out last night so
in this case we separate the phrasal
verb ask Mary somebody out inseparable
phrasal verbs are the ones that you
can't separate for example get together
get together or look after right here
always state the same for example let's
get together tomorrow
you cannot say let's get to work
together no let's get together tomorrow
both separable and inseparable what do I
mean by this you will see it in a second
take off the plane took off at 5:00 p.m.
and this is one meaning now if I
separate the take off take something off
it means something else for example she
took her t-shirt off she took her
t-shirt off another example call in so
in this case we have together so
inseparable he called him early this
morning
this means communicate by phone or if we
want to separate it I need to call a
specialist in summon for assistance now
a very important phrasal or phrasal verbs
that you can find are the ones
have get and there is a special lesson
on get if you click here you can watch
that lesson so get by itself means a lot
of things like fetch arrive buy etc if you
add an adjective it takes the form of
reflexive for example get married get
thirsty get wet
etc if you add a particle a particle can
be a preposition or an adverb it becomes a
phrasal verb so it changes completely
the meaning for example get away it
means to escape or get back it means to
recover to retrieve or get by survive
financially I also mentioned get
together etc so most importantly how do
we learn phrasal verbs well by writing a
sentence of your own for example or by
reading or by watching a movie obviously
you need to be immersed in the language
so not just you know I'm telling you
this but write an example of your own
and then maybe we have a teacher or
someone who knows English correct it if
you wish you can write your own example
under this video and I will correct it
okay so now let's recap in this video we
talked about phrasal verbs what are they
there are two or more words put together
to create a new meaning
there can be separable inseparable or
both they're actually used in everyday
English informally when talking to a
friend or when writing an email to a
friend etc that's it for today thank you
very much for watching if you have
questions if you have comments or if you
want to post your own example of a
phrasal verb you may do so under this
video please if you liked the video

lesson have a great day and see you
