All right, so I'm gonna play a clip for you and I want you to guess what the
correct phrasal verb would be. You know phrasal verbs, right? Like "catch up"
or "carry on" or "run out", for example. So if you're ready, let's give it a go.
Did you get it? Awesome! So let's keep testing your knowledge of phrasal verbs. Before we get
started, we have a special gift for you. It's this PDF that has all the
phrasal verbs we're going to cover today with examples and definitions. It's a really great
reference for you to continue mastering everything that we're going to learn in
today's lesson. So you can download that by clicking up here or down description below.
So in this test you're going to answer three quiz types. Some of them are going to be more
difficult than others. And be sure to take note of your score, because at the end we're going to let
you know more or less what your level in phrasal verbs is. All right, are you ready? Let's do this.
Okay so the first type quiz. Replace the underlying words
with a phrasal verb from option a, b or c.
By the way, if you want to be able to speak English fluently and confidently,

because we help you to do it every single week. Now let's keep going.
Hey if you made only one or two mistakes here, that is fantastic! It means that your knowledge of
phrasal verbs is already at an intermediate level. So that's at least B1 or B2. Hey and if you're
like me in your language learning, then maybe you feel like sometimes you learn a brand new word,
but then the next day you're trying to remember it and it's already completely gone. So what I
found works best for me to remember new words is to use them as soon as I learn them or as soon as
possible after learning them. And a lot of English Learners have told me, you know "that's great,
but I have no one that I speak English with." And that's exactly why we created the RealLife App.
Now the RealLife App is the only place where anytime, anywhere that you have an internet
connection, you can simply press a button and instantly be connected to another English speaker
in a different part of the world for a fun Dynamic and eye-opening conversation with someone from a
different culture than yours. So if you haven't downloaded the RealLife English App yet, I would
challenge you to go do that and then try to have a conversation with someone and use at least one of
the phrasal verbs that we've used so far. You can download it for free in your favorite app store or
just click here or down in the description below. Now, alright. So let's change things up a bit.
Next you'll watch some clips from real videos before answering the quiz questions.
Hey, if you made only one or two mistakes here, congratulations! That means that your knowledge of
phrasal verbs is already at an upper intermediate or even advanced level, which is from B2 to C1.
All right, now next up I'm going to read some sentences to you and each sentence
has a phrasal verb. Now what you need to do is: you'll have three options and you need to
choose the one that has the definition that you think best fits that phrasal verb. Are you ready?
So right, it's really similar to being fired from your job,
but there is a slight difference here. Usually, layoff is used when we're talking about it being
for economic reasons. So you wouldn't use this if someone is just negligent in their job. So
that means that they did something that was incompetent or they just don't really perform
at the level that they were hired to do. In that case, you would probably use fire,
but you'd use lay off if there's an economic downturn and say a company lays off hundreds
or thousands of its employees all at once because it can't afford to pay them, you know.
So this is a really great phrasal verb for you to add to your arsenal. Now we use this one usually
to describe people, so you wouldn't use it very often to describe a book or a movie that you
watched rather maybe if you met someone new, you could say "he came across a bit arrogant to me."
This is another really great one. So maybe if you have a fight with your partner and then afterwards
you realize maybe you were in the wrong, you might apologize to them, so you can patch things up. Or
you might try to have a conversation so you can figure out what the real problem is and patch
things up, or maybe you've had it falling out with someone, which basically means that something
happened that really hurt your relationship, and maybe for a long time you're not talking anymore,
so if you had a falling out, then maybe later you decide that that relationship is really important
to you. And, you know, you try to rebuild that relationship, you want to patch things up.
So you might find this one really useful. Make sure you don't confuse it with another
very similar phrasal verb which is "cut out". Maybe your doctor says that you
are diabetic. You came across diabetic. That'd be some really bad news and you
need to cut out sugar. That means you can't have sugar at all anymore. So cut out means
that you can't do it at all, and cut down just means that you need to reduce it.
Now, "to give in" is a nice phrasal verb to use in many different contexts. If you have
kids or maybe you have young people in your family, I'm sure that at some point you have
given in to their wishes. Maybe you have a child that was asking you over and over and
over again for something and you're decided finally to give in and to give it to them or
to buy it for them. Now you probably also know the phrasal verb to give up, but this would be
quite different. Don't confuse these two, because to give up means that you're not going to try to
do something anymore. We can also use that
for feelings hat have nothing to do with genetics. And it could be something like
that you take after your father because you're studying loss you become a lawyer
or you're studying medicine so you become a doctor just like your mom.
Hey if you have gotten this far and you've made only one or two mistakes,
that is amazing, incredible, you are a cosmic phrasal verbs hero
and you're ready to go out there and save the Galaxy! Well maybe not quite that far,
but it does mean that you have an advanced level when it comes to using phrasal verbs.
You know you're probably going to feel very confident and natural in your speaking and
you probably have around a C1 or maybe even a C2 level. The next thing you might want to do
is study idioms more. So maybe you would like to do a test like this, but for idioms. Why don't
you let us know down in the comments below if you want us to make a test like that for you
