15
155040
9480
02:46
How did you find out? So how did you do with  that quiz? Was it easy or difficult? Share your  
16
166440
8940
02:55
score in the comment and now I'll explain every  phrasal verb in detail with example sentences.  
17
175380
7680
03:04
Number one, ask someone out. Now pay attention  to the sentence structure because notice here  
18
184020
6900
03:10
I'm using someone you only ask someone out you  don't ask something out. And here's the reason  
19
190920
8400
03:19
why. When you ask someone out if you invite them  on a romantic evening together, also known as a  
20
199320
11220
03:30
date. So to ask someone out you invite them on  a date. A date is a romantic evening spent with  
21
210540
9120
03:39
someone of course it doesn't have to be an evening  it could be a morning coffee date or an afternoon  
22
219660
5820
03:45
day as well. But I just said evening because most  of the time it is in the evening. So let me give  
23
225480
6720
03:52
you an example sentence. Why hasn't Jim asked  Maria out yet? He's obviously into her. So notice  
24
232200
8580
04:00
here why hasn't Jim asked Maria out as someone out  are someone is Maria. Now of course you need the  
25
240780
10440
04:11
subject who's doing the action? So Jim is inviting  Maria on a date. A date is always romantic. Right?  
26
251220
10440
04:21
Now, Marina could say no. And we're going to talk  about that later on. And one of our phrasal verbs.  
27
261660
7140
04:28
So let me give you that example again. Why hasn't  Jim asked Maria out yet? He's obviously into her.  
28
268800
7560
04:36
Now you might be wondering, Jennifer, what  does not mean? He's obviously into her. Well,  
29
276960
5880
04:42
that's our next phrasal verb to be into someone  to be into someone. Now here I'll point out that  
30
282840
9660
04:52
you can also be into some thing, but first  let's talk about to be into someone when  
31
292500
6300
04:58
you're into someone. I'm sure you notice based  on the context, but it means to like someone  
32
298800
9240
05:08
romantically. Now the context is really important,  because I'm going to give you a musician who I  
33
308040
9180
05:17
really into. I'm really into Jack Johnson. Now  when I say that I'm really into Jack Johnson.  
34
317220
7080
05:24
I don't like Jack Johnson romantically although  he is pretty cute, I guess but I don't like him  
35
324300
6780
05:31
romantically. But I really like his music. So if  you use into someone it depends on the context,  
36
331080
9540
05:40
but there is this meaning of liking and for the  most part that liking is romantic. So if I said  
37
340620
10980
05:51
Jim is into Maria, he likes her romantically.  But if I'm talking about being into a celebrity,  
38
351600
10320
06:01
or a musician and actor, it's possible that I just  like them, but not necessarily romantically. So  
39
361920
9960
06:11
keep that in mind. Now remember, I said you could  also be into something. Now in this case, we're  
40
371880
7920
06:19
talking about liking something and it's usually  an activity or a hobby. So I was really into Jack  
41
379800
8160
06:27
Johnson when I was really into playing ukulele  and playing guitar. Jack Johnson is a amazing  
42
387960
8940
06:36
musician. He plays guitar and he plays ukulele. So  I was really into him. And mainly when I was into  
43
396900
7680
06:44
playing ukulele and playing guitar, those are two  activities. I don't really do much anymore simply  
44
404580
6120
06:50
because I don't have time. It isn't a priority for  me to do those activities right now, at this stage  
45
410700
8280
06:58
in my life, although one day I would definitely  like to do them again. Now so you can talk about  
46
418980
7260
07:06
any hobby or activity Oh, I'm really into going  hiking. I'm really into playing video games. So  
47
426240
8700
07:14
we use this with hobbies and activities. Mainly  our next phrasal verb to bring someone down. To  
48
434940
8640
07:23
bring someone down is to make someone unhappy.  But there's that transition because that person  
49
443580
5700
07:29
was happy. And then something happened to bring  them down. And now they're not happy or they're at  
50
449280
8940
07:38
least less happy than they were before. So I could  say that movie really brought me down. Now notice  
51
458220
9840
07:48
here that my subject is the movie, the movie  brought me down. I could also use a person my  
52
468060
9720
07:57
boss brought me down. So something or someone can  bring someone down. That movie brought in down so  
53
477780
9480
08:07
I was happy. And then I watched the movie, and now  I'm not happy or I'm less happy. Probably because  
54
487260
7380
08:14
the movie was very sad or depressing or something  like that. Number four to cheer up. So you can  
55
494640
7920
08:22
think of this as the opposite to cheer someone up  is to make them happier. Now we commonly use this  
56
502560
7200
08:29
in the imperative. Cheer up, cheer up, Julie,  cheer up. Don't be sad cheer up. So we commonly  
57
509760
7440
08:37
use this in the imperative but you can use it  in other ways. For example, I can say I took my  
58
517200
7560
08:44
friend out to lunch to cheer her up to cheer her  up. So that's the reason why I wanted to make her  
59
524760
8100
08:52
happier to cheer her up. Number five to pay the  someone or something up. This is one of the most  
60
532860
7680
09:00
common phrasal verbs you probably know it. But  did you know you can also pick something up? You  
61
540540
7080
09:07
pick someone up and you also pick something up and  laugh when you take an object or a person from one  
62
547620
10740
09:18
location to another location. So of course you  might know it in the sense of I pick my kids up  
63
558360
9180
09:27
after school, or I pick my husband up after work,  right? That's probably how we know it. But you can  
64
567540
9660
09:37
use it with something or maybe your husband could  call you and say oh hey, can you pick milk up on  
65
577200
9420
09:46
your way home? Can you pick milk up? So you're  going to go to a location the store, get milk and  
66
586620
8160
09:54
take it to another location? Your home? Can you  pick milk up on your way home? It's very common to  
67
594780
7800
10:02
get a call from someone and they ask you oh hey,  can you pick this up? Can you pick this up on your  
68
602580
5040
10:07
way home? And that something is a grocery item or  something for your home? So now you know how to  
69
607620
7620
10:15
use it with a someone and a something. And what's  the opposite of to pick someone up? Well is to  
70
615240
6720
10:21
drop someone off and you can also drop something  off when you drop someone or something off. It's  
71
621960
8280
10:30
to leave someone or something at a specific  location. So of course you can say I dropped my  
72
630240
7380
10:37
husband off at work. I dropped my friends off at  the airport. Now you might also asked someone can  
73
637620
10260
10:47
you draw this letter off on your way to work? So  they take the letter and they leave it somewhere  
74
647880
9420
10:57
in a different location? The post office or a mail  box? Can you draw this letter off on your way to  
75
657300
7440
11:04
work? Number seven, and to end off in some very  useful phrasal verb. We use it to say that you  
76
664740
9300
11:14
eventually do something or eventually decide  that something so you might say I printed  
77
674040
8700
11:22
off ask asking Julie out. I ended up asking Julie  out who was our first example I can't remember.  
78
682740
8220
11:32
Oh, it wasn't Julie. It was Jim and Maria. So let  me give that again. A Jim ended up asking for Rhea  
79
692040
7560
11:39
out. So remember before I said that, why hasn't  Jim? yet. So now remember to end all that's to  
80
699600
10260
11:49
eventually do something so after a period of time  so Jim ended up asking Maria out bot she turns him  
81
709860
12720
12:02
down. Remember I said at the beginning I'm going  to teach you a phrasal verb is Maria. I'm going to  
82
722580
6900
12:09
say Julie again. If Maria says No well that turn  someone down. That's our next phrasal verb to turn  
83
729480
9420
12:18
someone down. Now you can also turn something  down. Can you think of something that you might  
84
738900
7980
12:26
say no to? How about a job offer? Something like  that? So to turn someone down to turn something  
85
746880
8580
12:35
down is when you receive an invitation or  a proposal to do something and you say no,  
86
755460
7980
12:43
you declined. You refuse you reject? You say  no. So Maria turned Jim down. Now you might  
87
763440
10260
12:53
also say mine was turned down or the jaw. I was  turned down. Now you can turn that into an active  
88
773700
10020
13:03
sentence. They turned me down. I was turned  down by the company. They turn me down. So in  
89
783720
9960
13:13
this specific phrasal verb it is commonly used  in the passive so I would get comfortable with  
90
793680
5280
13:18
the positive but you can use it in the active  Of course as well. Number nine to fill in or to  
91
798960
7020
13:25
fill out forms. Okay, so notice here I gave you  two propositions I know students get confused.  
92
805980
6900
13:32
What's the difference between fill in and fill  out? There is no difference. So specifically  
93
812880
6060
13:38
with forms. That's the only time that there is  no difference when you're entering information  
94
818940
7200
13:46
into a form. You're filling in the form. You're  also filling out that form. It doesn't matter  
95
826140
7380
13:53
which preposition you use. And honestly I use  both of them interchangeably so I just changed  
96
833520
6660
14:00
between Fill and Fill out. I use both and you can  too. So if you go to an office, they might say  
97
840180
6780
14:06
after you fill in this form or after you fill out  this form, drop it off at reception. Notice drop  
98
846960
10620
14:17
it off at reception. So take it to reception. And  leave it there drop it off at reception. Our final  
99
857580
7500
14:25
phrasal verb to find out to find out is when you  understand something, you learn something or you  
100
865080
8400
14:33
discover something. So maybe going back to her  character Jim so maybe Jim could say, How did  
101
873480
8160
14:41
you find out that Maria turned me down? So maybe  Jim is a little embarrassed. He thought this was  
102
881640
7680
14:49
just a secret nobody knew. But then a friend tried  to cheer him up because he knew Maria turned him  
103
889320
8580
14:57
down after he asked her out. Notice all phrasal  verbs. So Jim could say how did you find out that  
104
897900
9300
15:07
Maria turned me down to how did you discover this?  How did you learn this? How did you find this out?  
105
907200
8040
15:15
And we use this when you want to get information  as well. So I might say I need to find out when  
106
915240
9780
15:25
the store closes because I have a package I need  to drop off but I don't know when they close I  
107
925020
7680
15:32
need to find that out. So learn or discover that  specific information. So now that you understand  
108
932700
8280
15:40
all of these phrasal verbs, how about we do the  quiz from the beginning again, and then you can  
109
940980
7740
15:48
compare your score from the first time to the  second time. So let's do that same quiz now.  
110
948720
7920
15:57
Question one, the phrasal verb used to invite  someone on a romantic date is the phrasal verb is  
111
957480
11640
16:09
to ask out of question two. If you like our genre  of music, you can say I'm really Country Music  
112
969120
11820
16:23
I'm really into country music. Number three. If a  movie made you sad, you can say that movie really?  
113
983580
11580
16:36
me down. That movie really  brought me down the number  
114
996300
8640
16:44
four if you think someone should be  happier, you can say cheer. Cheer  
115
1004940
6760
16:53
up. Cheer up a number five. Do you have  time to the dry cleaning on your way home?  
116
1013640
9480
17:06
You have time to pick up a number six. You  see that box? Can you at the post office?  
117
1026360
9060
17:18
Can you drop it? Off? Number seven we  ended up at home. We ended up staying at  
118
1038660
12540
17:31
home but number eight which phrasal verb  is used to reject someone or something  
119
1051200
6900
17:41
to turn down number nine when you complete  a form you can use both fill in and fill out  
120
1061100
11220
17:55
this is true the number 10 How  did you that Maria was fired.  
121
1075260
9180
18:06
How did you find out? So was the quiz  easier the second time? I'm sure it was!  
122
1086420
8220
