You want to be social meet new people and talk to them in English you'll need

these phrasal verbs first I feel like every one of my example starts with so

you're at a party but you're at a party and you're feeling confident and you

want to speak to this person so you approach her but we won't say approach

no that sounds too formal and we don't like formal yuck we will use phrasal

verbs which phrasal verb means approach go up to go up to means approach someone

or something and remember it's always more common to use the phrasal verb in

this example he go okay clips he goes up to her now go up to that's general and

it just means approach but you know how phrasal verbs work the preposition shows

you what happened and the verb shows you how it happened so if that means he

approached her this you know how phrasal verbs work we can change this verb he

didn't go up to her he maybe he walked up to her maybe it was fast he ran up to

her or maybe

maybe he danced up to her you know if he's a creep

but again phrasal verbs the preposition shows what happened the verb changes how

it happened so be creative change the verbs say how you approach someone or

something now maybe he loves her so he wants to ask her hey let's go to the

cinema let's go get food let's go get coffee let's meet in some kind of

romantic way what phrasal verb do I need ask out you

like them you want to meet them more than friends you ask them out but how do

you ask someone else that's really hard it's not it's really not hey um do you

want to go out with some time that's it that's all you need to say so he asked

her out and she said I don't know you decide tell me in the comments what did

she say also tell me what is your perfect idea for a perfect date my

pancakes then drinks okay this next phrasal verb come across this has two

meanings the first one means you meet someone by chance or you find something

by chance for example the party continues and Mary

wants to introduce Peter to this guy oh my god Peter

this is client can't you kind of look like Superman I don't know have you ever

met Superman I I've never come across him before

it means to meet someone by chance accidently not just meet someone but

also find something by chance usually in the comments of my videos people say oh

cool I was looking for videos to learn English with and I came across your

videos I found them by chance let me ask you as a question how did you come

across my videos after you meet someone you now have an opinion on that person

based on that one meeting what impression did that person give you well

another meaning of come across is exactly this it talks about your opinion

what impression did they give you so Mary Jane wants to give her opinion

about what impression Clark Kent gave her he really came across funny and not

like funny haha but now funny weird so yeah oh so there are two different

meanings of the word funny you know one meaning funny haha that is so funny but

there's a second meaning when someone is acting strange different a little bit

weird you would say they are acting funny or they are being funny how do you

know the difference if it's the same word you know through intonation and

through context example you are so funny you're being really funny today see you

can hear the difference but yes in a text message you can't hear anything and

any intonation or sarcasm is lost so if you're writing this in a text message

it's best to be absolutely clear in what you

she can also say he came off as funny I don't know he came off as a bit funny

they both mean the same thing in this context similar to that is this phrasal

verb to give off this is so similar but this is talking about the impression

that you give to everyone in general the vibe that you give people think of the

word emanate or emit maybe those words translate to Latin languages a bit more

easily let's do an example yeah he really gives off this unfriendly vibe

like maybe he hates everyone

next you're all as a group you're having a conversation I'm just saying I think

this Superman is more handsome than spider-man totally and then a different

person joins and interrupts your conversation hi nice to meet you I'm

Batman I totally agree what did Batman just do he interrupted he he butted in

the phrasal verb to butt in just means to interrupt usually a

conversation this is not a very formal phrasal verb so if you say that someone

butted in it means they were not being polite they were kind of being rude

I can't believe Batman just butted in our conversation

now they're fighting something bad is happening and she wants him to interrupt

it to intervene in this bad thing to stop the bad thing

what phrasal verb can she use are you gonna step in so remember to step in it

means to intervene to interrupt something bad before it happens or in

this case to stop something bad which is happening now like a fight she wants

Batman to intervene no I want to see what happens now of course Batman is

going to step in of course he's going to intervene and end the fight now when a

situation doesn't involve you that's not your business but you involve yourself

anyway you include yourself in to the situation you big stick your nose in

this is not a positive meaning this is not your business this doesn't involve

you but you included yourself anyway so in this case Batman stuck his nose in

you know this wouldn't have happened if Batman hadn't stuck his nose in now we

want to talk about the feeling that you leave a situation with so if you want to

say after that this is how I feel you'll say this phrasal verb come away with

after that I'm gonna come away with a very bad impression of Batman the common

way that you might want to use this is you meet someone and after that meeting

you feel good about yourself or you feel good about something because of the

meeting you can say well I came away feeling really good I

came away feeling really confident so yeah I think they both came away with a

bad impression of Batman but also of each other they probably hate each other

now a few days later and they meet in the street by chance complete

coincidence they didn't plan it it's just by chance when you meet

someone completely by chance you bump into them

or run into them so if you meet your friend on the street you could say wow I

wasn't expecting to bump into you today or run into let's try the past tense

today I was just walking on the streets and I ran into an old friend so here are

two ways that you can practice all the vocabulary from today's lesson one

retell it to your friend retell it to someone in your class what happened at

that party try to use all of the phrasal verbs or I have made a worksheet for
