hi
it's james from invid once again with
test your english
are you ready today's test is on phrasal
verbs
those naughty words that cause people so
many difficulties and i understand why
you've got a verb and a preposition
and when the verb is by itself it means
something almost completely different
than when it's in its phrasal verb form
for example pickup
pick means to choose but when you say to
pick up it means to meet a friend and
take them to a restaurant you pick them
up crazy i know
so today we're going to test your
english with phrasal verbs that mean the
exact opposite so i'm going to teach you
four pairs of phrasal verbs and how they
are opposite and how you can use this
english to improve your english so
you're like a native speaker so let's go
to the board and i've noticed e is
playing the game himself
pass out he's saying what happened do
you know what that means
let's go to the board and play
so question number one
which phrasal verb means to come to a
place that was not planned or expected
is it end up or start out
were you able to guess
the answer is end up did you get it
wrong did you get it right
don't worry after this segment we're
going to take an opportunity to explain
what each one means
but you're still playing the game
that would have got you 10 points if you
got it right and if you didn't get it
right don't worry about it how about the
next one put on your thinking cap
which phrasal verb means
to accumulate something by putting parts
or materials together and accumulate
means to put things together okay in
case you get confused
so accumulate
all right so
which phrasal verb means to accumulate
something by and that means make it
larger by gathering things by putting
parts or materials together
is it build up or die down
that's annoying for you it's annoying
for me too kills my throat anyway is it
build up or down down what did you guess
did you guess
build up
you got yourself 10 points
if you didn't
stick around no no
all right
question number three
which phrasal verb means to be conscious
is it pass out or come to
for 30 points
did you get
come to
i hope you did and if you got zero i'm
glad you're watching this lesson because
you've got a lot of education coming up
in a second or two
now finally our final question
this will show and you can
pat yourself on the back if you get this
one on all of these correct
which phrasal verb means to prevent
someone from doing something by talking
about it
sorry talking about good reasons for not
doing it
that's a mouthful
which phrasal verb means to prevent
someone from doing something by talking
about good reasons for not doing it
is it
talk out of
or
talk into
this is a tough one because they're both
talk
it's talk out of
so if you did this right you got 40
points if not
you need to join me
in a second or two
see you in the board
these kids don't even appreciate the
work
hi
we're back
game show that's right test your english
now
think back what was your score before we
went away did you get perfect
don't worry about it because here i'm
going to give you the information you
need to understand how these pairs
worked
now if you recall rightly i told you
these were opposites and i placed them
on the board that way
that one is the opposite of the other
sometimes it's easy because you can see
that they have opposite words as in
start or end but what do they mean let's
find out
to start out it means to begin just as
start means the beginning
to move or to act
we usually use this with businesses
when you can say something like i
started out with one dollar and i grew a
multi-billion dollar business right it
means we began here and we moved to a
certain place
so what does end up mean
it doesn't just mean end
when we talk about phrasal verbs and i
mentioned at the beginning
a verb has a specific meaning
but as soon as you end up a prep add a
preposition it can slightly change it
in this case end up means yes you got to
a certain place or ended there but it's
not what you planned on or expected
okay
so you could imagine going to um
going to a and this happened to me one
time i went to a bar popular bar some
friends invited me to
and i didn't know this at the time but
it was a a a
it's a drag show maybe you don't know
what that is it's where men can dress up
as women and they entertain people right
um so i thought we were going to
sit down and have a nice dinner and i'm
all dressed up for it and they've got
young man
and dancing in the middle form like i
didn't know i was going to end up here i
wouldn't dress like this for that
so where i ended up yes it was dinner
but not the way i had planned and that's
end up okay so the next one we have is
build up
and die down okay
so
when we talk about building up is to
accumulate or assemble by putting parts
together
um some of you guys i i don't have it
today i don't have my batman shirt over
the batman mosque and if you've been
with me long enough you know i love
batman well i have built up a collection
of batman
i probably have a thousand and that's
just one section of things i've
collected over years right so build up
to accumulate over time
the opposite of that is to die down
because as something builds up it gets
bigger and bigger we'll die down means
to go
smaller and smaller
so
in fact the crowd was very loud and then
it died
down
so it means to go from something larger
to something smaller right so if there's
really windy
the wind can die down to nothing
so the opposite of getting more is
getting less to gradually become less
strong
right
so what about these ones pass out and
come to
well if you love to drink like i do
and i love a nice glass of whiskey
sometimes i drink too much and i pass
out and when i come to i end up at the
weirdest places
my bad scottish scottish accents think
thank heavens no scottish people will
watch this video
so when you pass out it means to
suddenly become unconscious and that's
not about alcohol only a lot of people
pass out because they drink too much so
you drink too much you fall asleep
unexpectedly but you can pass out
because it's too hot
like if you're on a bus and it's very
very hot and they don't take down the
windows someone might pass out beside
you
or like my mom my mom i love you mom she
hates the sight of blood if she sees
blood she'll boss out
right it means you just lose
consciousness consciousness suddenly and
unexpected
so what does come to mean well pass out
means that but come to means to come
back to consciousness
now you're going to say oh james i know
when i go to sleep at night i sleep and
then i come to in the morning
wrong
just like passing out is unexpected
you come too after being knocked out
that could be from
it being too warm
drinking too much getting punched in the
head
right mike tyson mike tyson punches you
in the head you're gonna come to next
week that's right michael
i'm making fun of you but you don't know
where i live
i shouldn't do that because i hear the
man's making a comeback and he looks
really good
so to come to is if you get knocked out
by something something makes you fall
asleep or if you drank too much and it's
almost the opposite of pass out all
right almost except we talk about being
knocked out when you pass out that
you're not going to be it's not someone
hitting you right it's other conditions
that make you fall asleep unexpectedly
so come to you don't come to in the
morning because you didn't fall asleep
unexpectedly did you you went to bed
with the idea of sleeping so you wake up
remember that all right
so
after we've done that let's talk about
talk out of and talk into
these are very very similar and you
might have been able to guess this
simply because we will talk out talk
into and you know out would be to leave
and in means to come into
so when we talk people out of something
we can do it in two ways
you will find most of the dictionaries
will say to talk someone from doing
something and talking about the good
reasons not to do it
but you can also talk them out of doing
it by telling them the bad things that
will happen if they do it okay
so that's it so when you talk someone
out of something you prevent them from
doing something they wanted to do by
talking about either the good reasons
not to do it
don't quit school when you're 15
it's going to be very bad and hard for
you to get a job in future right
and if you don't quit school you can get
a good job so i've done both negative
and positive but i'm trying to talk you
out of doing something
to talk you into something is to get you
to do something
right
many of you have bought cars or clothing
that maybe you didn't want but that
sales person was like you look just so
good in it you look amazing i tell you
you gotta you gotta have it your friends
are gonna talk about it you'll be the
greatest it'll be the greatest ever i
promise you see they talked you into it
you bought it and now you're at home
regretting it
talking to a whole bunch of you aren't i
mm-hmm
okay so people can talk you into
something just as they can talk you out
of something all right so i've explained
the pairs now what i want you to do if
that was if you understand this maybe go
over the quiz i gave you at the
beginning and check to see the answers
and you'll go oh that just makes sense
now
and clearly it will
now this is a class and i consider it a
full class that you're being given so we
have to do
the bonus section what's the bonus here
you know but james you just taught me
pass out and come too
did i
well the other thing about phrasal verbs
which is most interesting
that if you have a phrasal verb or the
reason why we
as native speakers use it is because it
can it's a very handy tool
it's like a level it makes everything go
straight
what i mean by that is we can use one
phrasal verb in several different
instances we don't have to change it and
all native speakers understand it for
instance you can pick up your uh phone
right you can pick up a signal you can
pick up a friend it's like
how can you use that for so many we know
the same is here when i said pass out i
told you is to fall unconscious
unexpectedly
however it also means to give something
out
in schools you hear people say can you
please pass out the books or pass out
the tests
so don't think that somebody is getting
a test and falling asleep unconscious
all of a sudden they might say can you
pass this out please and it means to
give out that's another meaning of pass
out and what about come to
this is an interesting one because
you'll see native speakers goes okay
um
ford again it means to add up to it
means a total a total if you put this
and this and this it comes to this
example you buy
i don't know
some water
agua or what does my little cousin say
appa
yes if you're uh romanian you know apa
is water
so you buy this and this and then you go
to the counter to pay for it and the guy
goes well the pan's
350 and the water's two dollars that
comes to 550
you're thinking they're going to come
alive they're unconscious right now
no he's saying if you add this and this
the amount comes to or adds up to this
so someone says this comes to that
comes to this amount they're saying if i
add this and this this is the final
total
kind of cool huh but that's why you come
here it's not just the lessons the bonus
information
of course finally we have my favorite
and yours the homework
in which i allow you and give you the
opportunity to make millions and
millions and millions of points yes and
this is going to be a tough one
it's a story
about e and i going out
i don't know the last time that happened
but i need you
to
fill out the story which i will read and
it will give you for each answer you get
correct now they're in pairs so even
though there are six spaces it's a pair
let me see but because it's a pair let's
say you can get 2 000 points for each
pair you get correct that's right i'm
being generous
all right 2000 points so whether you're
on invid the website or you're on
youtube or whatever platform you're
using
students if they got the right answer
give them a thumbs up and for each one
thumbs up they get they'll get 2 000
points coolio i think so
so
e

could that be i don't even know
going to a bar with me
