CARRY is my favorite word. But do you know every single phrasal verb with
the verb CARRY that you need to know for the B2 first Cambridge exam? Okay
okay calm down. My name is Toby this is SMASH English and here is every phrasal
verb with CARRY that you need to know for the B2 First of Cambridge exam.
To carry off. Definition one: to transport something away. Separable and transitive.
If something is carried off it's often done by force. For example...
I was trying to do my job as an investigator and these two strange men assaulted me. What? You were
assaulted!? Duke you're an investigator!? Yes and yes. Criminals fear me. Women love me. I am
Detective Duke! But I thought you were a doctor? I thought you owned a restaurant? Uh, Duke? Hello!?
Women love you? Uh yes Monica of course they do. That's obvious. Anyway I was conducting a
very important investigation, you see. A woman had her bag stolen at Duke's Diner and it's my
job to find out who the culprit is! Right... So I followed her home to track her every movement.
Oh God... And then these two men grabbed me and carried me off to a big cage! It's outrageous!
Um Duke were those two men police, by any chance? Wait a second, you might be on something there!
Oh my God and let me guess, Duke, the cage was a prison cell? Oh my goodness it must have been
corruption within the police force! So Duke you were carried off to prison for following a woman?
Uh no, I was carried off for the crime of doing my job as an investigator! For the community...
Oh wow. Stalking. This is a new low even for SMASH English so good job guys... yep... well done.
An injured player could be carried off the football pitch. Or maybe a car could be carried
off in a hurricane. Oh no. Definition two: to do something successfully. Separable and transitive.
Oh for goodness sake I know you're angry all right but I cannot carry off the job from a prison cell!
Well I know my methods are unconventional according to your standards but trust me,
Detective Duke always manages to carry off the job.
Yes. Okay. Yeah. Don't worry I'll get your bag back! I promise you. Okay goodbye. Goodbye.
Okay so you can carry off a job and this means to complete a difficult job successfully. Also
an actress or an actor can carry off their role in a film and this means they perform their part
well. Like for example I could carry off the role of a princess in a Disney movie. Or Monica,
even better, an evil sister. Brilliant. This would be a good phrasal verb to use
in a review for example. Yes Toby. That is a great idea. For example you could say "the
evil sister is played by Monica who carries off the part with ease. Her beard is especially
convincing and that is because it is real". Oh shut up, Bruce! I do not have a beard! Okay!
To get carried away. Are you a criminal? Well beware! Be scared!
and Be prepared! Because I am coming to get you! Detective Duke. Because Crime Doesn't Pay.
Well it does but it pays me not you, you idiot criminal! Right Duke what was that? Oh that's
the advert for my detective agency! Duke don't you think you're getting a bit carried away?
Have you even solved a case yet? Oh Toby, so young, so naive. How can I solve a case if it's
already been solved? What? If you get carried away you go too far. You get over excited and
then you lose self-control. Oh hey yeah it's me Monica. Yeah I had a great time too. It was like
the best first date ever! Yeah, totally! Anyway so I was calling because I wanted to know like maybe
like perhaps you would want to, I don't know, move in with me? Monica what are you doing!?
You've had one date with the guy! Don't you think you're getting a little bit carried away? Shut up,
Bruce! I am not! You're just jealous and anyway you've had like five beers today and it's only
like 11 o'clock in the morning so if anyone is getting a little bit carried away I think it's
you! So shut up, you pig! Anyway yes, yes, sorry about that. Yeah that was just an idiot. No? well
because like think about it or something? No? Oh. Okay bye. To carry on. To continue an activity.
This can be transitive or intransitive. For example you can carry on doing something and
this is transitive, obviously. Detective Duke will carry on his investigations no matter what.
Monica have a shave, yeah? You can't let your beard carry on growing like that! Wow, Bruce. I
don't even have a beard so that's impossible. Bad example. I don't know I will carry on
um just being me because I'm great. That was great. wonderful. Um it can also mean to continue
doing something that somebody else started. For example Monica will carry on presenting this
video from here Toby. Yay! Carry on can also be intransitive and it means to continue in spite of
something being difficult. For example when Johnny left me I carried on. It was difficult to carry on
but I managed to carry on because I learned that I'm a strong and independent woman and
I don't even need him. Okay it can also be used as an imperative to mean continue. For example:
Monica carry on, please. And I've learned so much about myself and maybe I didn't even love
him after all because I don't even think I truly loved myself during that period of my life and
if I'm not ready to love myself then how can I love anyone else? He wasn't even that cute
he was like a nine out of ten maybe a 10 out of 10 and he was so good to me and oh my gosh!!....
And if there is one thing that should carry on it's your generous kind and marvellous donations!
Seriously Carosinelli, Nunaromedus, Almudena, Eliska and Georg you gals and guys are the best!
I really appreciate it. Seriously I do. Even if I cannot pronounce your names.... If you want to
help me carry on making these videos then please do consider making a donation. The links will
be in the comments section and the description. Thank you. I love you all seriously I really do.
To carry out. To complete something. Inseparable and transitive.
Okay that sounds really simple but you cannot carry out everything.
No this phrasal verb is collocated with only a few nouns so let's have a look!
Oh hello Bruce! May I ask you a few questions please? No. Go away. Uh, Bruce I am carrying
out a very serious investigation here. I am obligated to carry out my duties as an
investigator. I am solving the case of the missing bag. Okay. Uh Duke I do not consent
to this interview. Okay well I will be carrying out this interview whether you like it or not
Bruce but don't worry you are innocent until proven guilty. I'm just here to make sure that
Justice is carried out. Uh Duke why would I steal a woman's bag, you idiot? Because you're sick,
Bruce! You are a vile criminal that carries out his crimes in the dead of the night!
Well Duke I read a study carried out by like real criminologists and they said that men are way more
likely to steal than women and well, I don't know, Bruce is a man Duke... So you do the math.... Oh,
Monica, you are always so full of wisdom. You should carry out research yourself you know
you are so intelligent and beautiful. Oh my God, Duke. I know, right? So Bruce it's a silver bag,
like a rucksack, with very thin straps. Where is it, you vile Thief! Hold on a minute, Duke... that
sounds like Monica's bag! What? Oh well Monica it it does look a little bit like that to be honest?
Did you steal it? Oh my god, Duke! How dare you! I've even told you about the studies carried out
by like real scientists, Duke! It's scientifically impossible for me to have stolen a bag! Oh my god!
Well we do have some eye-witness testimony actually! Here is a picture of our suspect.
Yeah can't you can't see that person cannot be me! They've got a beard! I don't have a beard!
Look! This is just my skin. Bruce has a beard, Duke! Bruce has a pretty big beard. Oh my gosh,
Monica! You're right! Stop in the name of the law! Oh for goodness sake! And with that we are
finished. Those were all the phrasal verbs with CARRY that you need to know for the B2
