hey there i'm emma from m english
today we are gonna master phrasal verbs
that use the word
up so i'm gonna teach you the most
common phrasal verbs
with up and i'm gonna do it in a
slightly different way it'll be a new
way to help you understand the meaning
and to remember the phrasal verbs better
by focusing on the particle
focusing on up so perk up get up and
round up your mates
we are about to dive into this lesson
[Music]
i want to let you know that i've put
together an awesome worksheet with all
the phrasal verbs that i go through in
this video
so when you finish watching it or even
before
you can download that worksheet right
down in the description box below
for some extra practice as you probably
know
phrasal verbs are made up of a verb with
a particle maybe even two all the
phrasal verbs in this lesson
include the particle up and by focusing
on up we get to study the meaning and
understand
how the verb is influenced by the
particle
and we're going to split the phrasal
verbs from this lesson into
five different categories ones that
generally mean
to move up to
increase or improve to create
to fix and to complete
so we're going to start with phrasal
verbs that have a general meaning
to move up so the word up means to take
something from a low position to a high
position doesn't it
so if i pick up my mug and
i move it higher
i move it up then i'm taking it from
a low position to a high position
so there are a few phrasal verbs that
fall into this same
category right and they use up so of
course we have
pick up pick up so that means to lift or
to move
something or someone right we can pick
up our mug
we can pick up our child we can also
get up and get up can mean
to rise after sleeping or sitting down
for a period of time you might say i
have to get up and go to my meeting
we also fill up things so
when we fill up something we
put something inside it all the way to
the top
until it's full so we can fill up our
glass with water
so you'll notice that in all of these
phrasal verbs we're taking something
from a low position
and moving it to a high position the
next box
is to increase or improve in some way
and so these words really mean to make
something greater
or better or bigger which is similar to
moving
something upwards but not quite let's
think about some of the phrasal verbs
with
up that help to express this same
idea we climb up or
maybe we go up a set of stairs and
that's to increase
the height that you're at and to reach a
higher level of a building
i climbed up the stairs to get to the
balcony and watch the sunset
we also use go up to talk about an
increase
in value or an increase in number
as well you can also backup this is a
great phrasal verb it means to provide
extra support or increase the support
that you need
she backed up her stories with
photographic evidence
you know we might even say that someone
backed you up
they provided support they argued on
your side
they were supportive of you so they
backed you up
we say grow up and that means to
increase in size or maturity
we say our kids grow up too quickly
cheer up we use it when we want to
improve our
mood right to cheer up
cheer up the weather's going to be
better tomorrow
we also dress up which means we increase
the quality
of our clothes maybe we make ourselves
look better
look nicer all the phrasal verbs in this
box
relate to create you know i love to cook
right so the phrasal verb
to cook up is a really great one to use
when you want to
make something some food for someone
else
to cook up some dinner to cook up
a steak for example it can also mean
to get an idea ready
an exciting interesting idea i'm cooking
up a plan
to do something interesting maybe a
surprise party
now whip up is a little similar to cook
up it means to cook something
but to do it really quickly you know i'm
just gonna
whip up a sandwich during my break right
we wouldn't whip up an
entire roast dinner but we can whip up
something quickly
how about to dream up to think of a new
idea or to imagine
something new to be creative with your
thoughts
i dreamt up an entire new plan for the
party
we also set up and we use setup when we
organize or we plan something like an
event or maybe even a system
i set up my studio every time i need to
film a lesson for you
makeup is a good one as well makeup can
refer to
inventing or creating a lie or a fake
story
she would often make up stories to make
her life
seem more interesting make up
cool huh not to be confused with the
noun
makeup but the phrasal verb makeup
is to creatively think up a story or an
idea
we can also use come up with
when we're creating something a new idea
or a solution because come up with
means to suggest or to think of a new
idea you know elon musk
great example he comes up with grand
plans
to save humanity like electric cars and
flying to mars so can you see how all of
those phrasal verbs
have something to do with they're
connected to the idea of
creating or making something and that's
why
they're grouped together there are many
more of them as well but that's why
paying attention to the particle and the
meaning that the particle offers the
verb
can help you to learn and to practice
and to remember
and even to guess the meaning of new
phrasal verbs
so in the next box is fix or
get better so to fix something or to
repair it
to make it whole again let's go back to
make up because if you make up with
someone you're repairing your
relationship after you've had an
argument sarah and john had another
argument
but they always make up and again
that's not to be confused with our other
meaning right our noun or our other
phrasal verb meaning to make up
heal up is another one heal up is when
an
injury gets better his broken leg
healed up really quickly so it fixed
itself it got better
to sober up means to become less
drunk or intoxicated coffee and
breakfast will help you to sober up
after a
long crazy night out on the town
patch up is a great one a little
informal but a
lovely phrasal verb it means to fix or
to make
something whole again i'm gonna patch up
the hole in my jumper so that i can use
it again
i can wear it again i'm gonna fix it
i'll patch it up
inside the last box we have phrasal
verbs that mean
to complete to completely finish
something we finish up something we
complete it
please finish up the design by friday
another phrasal verb with a very similar
meaning is
wrap up it's almost time to wrap up this
lesson
to finish up to wrap up and we can say
drink up drink up
or eat up that means finish
your food or your drink finish it we're
gonna be late drink up
we're gonna be late that's it from me
