How did you find out? So how did you do with  that quiz? Was it easy or difficult? Share your  

score in the comment and now I'll explain every  phrasal verb in detail with example sentences.  

Number one, ask someone out. Now pay attention  to the sentence structure because notice here  

I'm using someone you only ask someone out you  don't ask something out. And here's the reason  

why. When you ask someone out if you invite them  on a romantic evening together, also known as a  

date. So to ask someone out you invite them on  a date. A date is a romantic evening spent with  

someone of course it doesn't have to be an evening  it could be a morning coffee date or an afternoon  

day as well. But I just said evening because most  of the time it is in the evening. So let me give  

you an example sentence. Why hasn't Jim asked  Maria out yet? He's obviously into her. So notice  

here why hasn't Jim asked Maria out as someone out  are someone is Maria. Now of course you need the  

subject who's doing the action? So Jim is inviting  Maria on a date. A date is always romantic. Right?  

Now, Marina could say no. And we're going to talk  about that later on. And one of our phrasal verbs.  

So let me give you that example again. Why hasn't  Jim asked Maria out yet? He's obviously into her.  

Now you might be wondering, Jennifer, what  does not mean? He's obviously into her. Well,  

that's our next phrasal verb to be into someone  to be into someone. Now here I'll point out that  

you can also be into some thing, but first  let's talk about to be into someone when  

you're into someone. I'm sure you notice based  on the context, but it means to like someone  

romantically. Now the context is really important,  because I'm going to give you a musician who I  

really into. I'm really into Jack Johnson. Now  when I say that I'm really into Jack Johnson.  

I don't like Jack Johnson romantically although  he is pretty cute, I guess but I don't like him  

romantically. But I really like his music. So if  you use into someone it depends on the context,  

but there is this meaning of liking and for the  most part that liking is romantic. So if I said  

Jim is into Maria, he likes her romantically.  But if I'm talking about being into a celebrity,  

or a musician and actor, it's possible that I just  like them, but not necessarily romantically. So  

keep that in mind. Now remember, I said you could  also be into something. Now in this case, we're  

talking about liking something and it's usually  an activity or a hobby. So I was really into Jack  

Johnson when I was really into playing ukulele  and playing guitar. Jack Johnson is a amazing  

musician. He plays guitar and he plays ukulele. So  I was really into him. And mainly when I was into  

playing ukulele and playing guitar, those are two  activities. I don't really do much anymore simply  

because I don't have time. It isn't a priority for  me to do those activities right now, at this stage  

in my life, although one day I would definitely  like to do them again. Now so you can talk about  

any hobby or activity Oh, I'm really into going  hiking. I'm really into playing video games. So  

we use this with hobbies and activities. Mainly  our next phrasal verb to bring someone down. To  

bring someone down is to make someone unhappy.  But there's that transition because that person  

was happy. And then something happened to bring  them down. And now they're not happy or they're at  

least less happy than they were before. So I could  say that movie really brought me down. Now notice  

here that my subject is the movie, the movie  brought me down. I could also use a person my  

boss brought me down. So something or someone can  bring someone down. That movie brought in down so  

I was happy. And then I watched the movie, and now  I'm not happy or I'm less happy. Probably because  

the movie was very sad or depressing or something  like that. Number four to cheer up. So you can  

think of this as the opposite to cheer someone up  is to make them happier. Now we commonly use this  

in the imperative. Cheer up, cheer up, Julie,  cheer up. Don't be sad cheer up. So we commonly  

use this in the imperative but you can use it  in other ways. For example, I can say I took my  

friend out to lunch to cheer her up to cheer her  up. So that's the reason why I wanted to make her  

happier to cheer her up. Number five to pay the  someone or something up. This is one of the most  

common phrasal verbs you probably know it. But  did you know you can also pick something up? You  

pick someone up and you also pick something up and  laugh when you take an object or a person from one  

location to another location. So of course you  might know it in the sense of I pick my kids up  

after school, or I pick my husband up after work,  right? That's probably how we know it. But you can  

use it with something or maybe your husband could  call you and say oh hey, can you pick milk up on  

your way home? Can you pick milk up? So you're  going to go to a location the store, get milk and  

take it to another location? Your home? Can you  pick milk up on your way home? It's very common to  

get a call from someone and they ask you oh hey,  can you pick this up? Can you pick this up on your  

way home? And that something is a grocery item or  something for your home? So now you know how to  

use it with a someone and a something. And what's  the opposite of to pick someone up? Well is to  

drop someone off and you can also drop something  off when you drop someone or something off. It's  

to leave someone or something at a specific  location. So of course you can say I dropped my  

husband off at work. I dropped my friends off at  the airport. Now you might also asked someone can  

you draw this letter off on your way to work? So  they take the letter and they leave it somewhere  

in a different location? The post office or a mail  box? Can you draw this letter off on your way to  

work? Number seven, and to end off in some very  useful phrasal verb. We use it to say that you  

eventually do something or eventually decide  that something so you might say I printed  

off ask asking Julie out. I ended up asking Julie  out who was our first example I can't remember.  

Oh, it wasn't Julie. It was Jim and Maria. So let  me give that again. A Jim ended up asking for Rhea  

out. So remember before I said that, why hasn't  Jim? yet. So now remember to end all that's to  

eventually do something so after a period of time  so Jim ended up asking Maria out bot she turns him  

down. Remember I said at the beginning I'm going  to teach you a phrasal verb is Maria. I'm going to  

say Julie again. If Maria says No well that turn  someone down. That's our next phrasal verb to turn  

someone down. Now you can also turn something  down. Can you think of something that you might  

say no to? How about a job offer? Something like  that? So to turn someone down to turn something  

down is when you receive an invitation or  a proposal to do something and you say no,  

you declined. You refuse you reject? You say  no. So Maria turned Jim down. Now you might  

also say mine was turned down or the jaw. I was  turned down. Now you can turn that into an active  

sentence. They turned me down. I was turned  down by the company. They turn me down. So in  

this specific phrasal verb it is commonly used  in the passive so I would get comfortable with  

the positive but you can use it in the active  Of course as well. Number nine to fill in or to  

fill out forms. Okay, so notice here I gave you  two propositions I know students get confused.  

What's the difference between fill in and fill  out? There is no difference. So specifically  

with forms. That's the only time that there is  no difference when you're entering information  

into a form. You're filling in the form. You're  also filling out that form. It doesn't matter  

which preposition you use. And honestly I use  both of them interchangeably so I just changed  

between Fill and Fill out. I use both and you can  too. So if you go to an office, they might say  

after you fill in this form or after you fill out  this form, drop it off at reception. Notice drop  

it off at reception. So take it to reception. And  leave it there drop it off at reception. Our final  

phrasal verb to find out to find out is when you  understand something, you learn something or you  

discover something. So maybe going back to her  character Jim so maybe Jim could say, How did  

you find out that Maria turned me down? So maybe  Jim is a little embarrassed. He thought this was  

just a secret nobody knew. But then a friend tried  to cheer him up because he knew Maria turned him  

down after he asked her out. Notice all phrasal  verbs. So Jim could say how did you find out that  

Maria turned me down to how did you discover this?  How did you learn this? How did you find this out?  

And we use this when you want to get information  as well. So I might say I need to find out when  

the store closes because I have a package I need  to drop off but I don't know when they close I  

need to find that out. So learn or discover that  specific information. So now that you understand  

all of these phrasal verbs, how about we do the  quiz from the beginning again, and then you can  

compare your score from the first time to the  second time. So let's do that same quiz now.  

Question one, the phrasal verb used to invite  someone on a romantic date is the phrasal verb is  

to ask out of question two. If you like our genre  of music, you can say I'm really Country Music  

I'm really into country music. Number three. If a  movie made you sad, you can say that movie really?  

me down. That movie really  brought me down the number  

four if you think someone should be  happier, you can say cheer. Cheer  

up. Cheer up a number five. Do you have  time to the dry cleaning on your way home?  

You have time to pick up a number six. You  see that box? Can you at the post office?  

Can you drop it? Off? Number seven we  ended up at home. We ended up staying at  

home but number eight which phrasal verb  is used to reject someone or something  

to turn down number nine when you complete  a form you can use both fill in and fill out  

this is true the number 10 How  did you that Maria was fired.
