Before we start I just want to remind you guys that I've done a video explaining how

Antes de empezar, os quiero recordar que he hecho un vídeo explicando cómo utilizarlos correctamente.

to use phrasal verbs correctly. So if you want a little bit more information about phrasal

that you need to know.

Ok, our first phrasal verb, or this one is a multi-word verb because there are multiple

El primero es un verbo compuesto porque tiene varias palabras.

words. It's to get on with someone. This means to have a good relationship with them.

To enjoy their company. Now you can get on with anyone, it could be a family member,

Llevarte bien. Puede ser un@ amig@ o una relación de pareja.

it could be a friend or it could be a romantic relationship as well. So this one we can kind

of use with anyone that we want. So an example sentence.

So that's saying that me and Katie,

Katie and I have a good relationship, we enjoy each other's company.

Katie y yo nos llevamos muy bien.

So maybe you get on

Os podéis llevar bien con alguien

with someone and then you want to make it a romantic thing so you would ask somebody

y queréis algo romántico. Así que le pediríais quedar.

Quedar con alguien.

out. To ask somebody out. This is to invite them on a date. Now when we use the word date

we mean a romantic situation, ok? So you wouldn't go on a date with your friend. That's kind

La palabra "date" se utiliza para citas románticas. No para quedar con tus amigos

of, you'd meet, go out for dinner or whatever, it's not called a date. We reserve that for

a romantic relationship.

So hopefully she says yes, then we go on a date. Go on just

means to do the activity so to do the date.

Tener una cita

So the date went well, ok. We had a really

La cita fue bien. Nos lo pasamos bien,

nice time and maybe we went on a few more dates and then we start to become a couple.

quedamos más veces y nos volvemos pareja.

So then you are going out.

So to be going out means to be dating, to be a couple. So

Salir con alguien

after a few months, maybe a little longer than that we grow really strong feelings and

Unos meses después, nuestros sentimientos se vuelven más fuertes.

we fall in love. Right, so if you fall in love your feelings become really strong, don't

Nos enamoramos. Ah!

they? And this person is your everything. So we fall in love.

Enamorarse.

I like the fact that we

Me gusta este verbo porque sugiere que perdemos el control.

use the verb fall because it suggests that we have no control. It's not a feeling that

we have any power over, it's out of our control, we fall in love. We are taken there because

No tenemos ningún poder sobre él.

Estamos poseídos por nuestros sentimientos y deseos.

of our feelings and our desires. So I quite like that, it's quite a nice phrase if you

Suena bastante bien si lo pensáis.

think about it. It's quite a romantic idea that it's, you know, this is nothing to do

with us, this is just our hearts and how it feels. Uh oh! As we all know love isn't always

No tiene nada que ver con nosotros mismos sino con el corazón.

El amor no es siempre un camino de rosas. A veces surgen problemas.

a smooth journey. Sometimes there are problems along the way. So if you have an argument

you could say that you fall out with someone. That means to have an argument and to not

Pelearse con alguien. Puede ser con un@ amig@.

be so close. So it could be with a friendship as well.

That means we had an argument and

we're kind of not really friends at the moment. This could be a temporary situation, we could

Puede ser temporalmente.

be friends again. It could also be a longer term situation as well. And you can also fall

También puede ser más duradero. Te puedes pelear con tu pareja.

out with your partner. Something else that happens in relationships is that maybe we

También puede suceder en una relación que os distanciéis lentamente, sin pelearos.

don't argue necessarily but slowly you change paths. Maybe you become distant from your

Cambiáis de rumbo.

partner. Maybe you don't share the same interests anymore or you just aren't as close as you

Quizás ya no tenéis los mismos intereses o no tenéis la misma confianza.

used to be. So we say to drift apart. And so if you think about two people being together

Distanciarse.

and then slowly over time they drift apart, they slowly have different interests, they

feel differently about each other. An example sentence.

En los últimos años, nos hemos distanciado mucho.

And that means that your relationship

isn't as strong as it used to be, it's becoming weaker. You could also use that for a friendship

Eso significa que la relación no es tan fuerte como antes.

as well. For a relationship as well. So you could use it for a romantic relationship or

Se puede usar para una amistad o una relación de pareja.

a friendship as well. To drift apart from someone. It could be about distance so maybe

Distanciarse de alguien.

you don't see them very often. You are not in contact very often. There are lots of reasons

Puede ser por la distancia o porque no os véis mucho.

why we might drift apart from someone. Uh oh! What happens when someone in the relationship

Hay muchas razones para distanciarse.

Qué ocurre si alguien decide estar con otra persona fuera de la relación?

chooses to be with someone outside of the relationship? Ok, this is called to cheat

on someone. So your partner decides that they want to be with someone else. It could be

Serle infiel a alguien.

for one night or it could be longer term. So this is to cheat on someone.

And maybe,

eventually you might decide to break up. And that is to end the relationship. We've got

break up and also split up. Those are exactly the same meaning.

So that's the end of a relationship.

To break up with someone or to split up with someone. But wait! There's still hope! Because

Romper con alguien.

Espera! Puede que decidáis que esa persona era realmente la adecuada para vosotr@s y queréis volver.

maybe you decide that actually yes this person is the right one for me and so you get back

together. And this means you then reunite as a couple. And romance is back again! So

you get back together.

Volver con alguien.

So that just means they are reunited as a couple. But what if

they don't get back together? What if they decide that they are best apart? Well there's

Pero y si no volvéis? Decidís que es mejor estar separados?

a few phrasal verbs we use to talk about that process after a relationship. One of them

También hay phrasal verbs para ello.

is to get over someone. And this is the kind of emotion because it's an emotional thing

isn't it when we've broken up with someone. They are still kind of in our hearts a little

Superar una ruptura.

bit. Maybe their memories some of the things they used to do. So it takes time for us to

feel less sad. After a relationship we feel sad, don't we? And we kind of miss the person

that we used to be with. I mean, sometimes. So this process is all about getting over

Este proceso es sobre superar una ruptura, recuperarse.

the other person. It's about kind of, recovering from the relationship and feeling more positive.

So at the beginning you feel very sad, you miss them and with time you get over them.

You recover from the sadness and you become happier more positive about the relationship.

And maybe then you can think about another relationship.
