worry if it was difficult because now I'm going  to explain every phrasal verb in detail. Number  

one to come around to an opinion or an idea. And  this means to change your opinion or to see a  

new point of view. Now, notice the sentence  structure because we have two prepositions

Oceans around and two. And then  after two, we need something,  

we need a noun, an opinion or an idea.  For example, I came around to the new

job

after I heard about the benefits package.  

So remember, this means you change your opinion.  So previously, you didn't want the new job,  

but now you've come around to it.  So you've changed your opinion.

And now you want the new job because  you heard about the benefits package,  

we commonly use this without the preposition  to and without specifying the something.  

When the something has already been  mentioned, for example, at first,  

I didn't want to move to Boston, but I came around  after I visited. So notice, I didn't say I came

around to something because the something had  already been mentioned. So I came around to  

the idea after I visited number two, to get  across a point or a message. And this is when  

you clearly and effectively communicate a point  or a message. For example, make sure you get

Pause that the project is over budget.  

So if you're having a meeting with a client  and your boss has this very particular message  

or idea the project is over budget and your  boss wants you to communicate that in a clear  

effective way your boss wants to make sure  you get that across. Now we also use this

when

you're talking, you're talking, you're talking  and the ideas aren't really coming out very well.

Well, and after a, while you stop and you  say, what? I'm trying to get across is,  

and then you state your point. What I'm  trying to get across is the project is  

over budget. Number three, is to show  off. This is when you deliberately  

display your skills or abilities in a  way to impress other people. Now this

Is frequently used in the - don't show off.  Don't show off but there's definitely a time  

and a place when you want to show off for  example when you're going to a job interview,  

you shouldn't be modest. You should show off  your skills and abilities. You should talk  

about all your Awards, your accomplishments,  your degrees, the compliments you've received

You want to show off all of your experience  to the interviewer. So an interview is the  

perfect time to show off. Also, if  you're going for your IELTS exam,  

you don't want to be modest with your knowledge  of the English language. You want to show off  

your abilities by using a range of  grammatical structures and a range  

of phrasal verbs and idioms and  expressions you want to show off

To the interviewer number for to count

on.

Now, this is exactly the same as to rely on  or to depend on. So you have three different  

phrasal verbs, all with on that mean the exact  same thing. And this is of course, when you trust  

someone or something to complete a specific task  or objective, for example, I can always count on

tan, Selma to stay late. So you can trust Selma  to complete the specific task or objective,  

which is to stay late. And remember,  you could replace this with rely on,  

I can always rely on Selma or depend on. I can  always depend on Selma. Now we frequently use this  

in a question response for example, can I count  on you? Can I count on you to close the door?

He'll and then you can reply back and say  absolutely You Can Count On Me. Number five  

to come between. Now, this is when something  disturbs a relationship and that relationship  

can be a professional relationship, a social  relationship romantic family relationship.  

It can be any kind of relationship,  for example. Jacob and Marcus were

Friends until Sylvie came between them.  So that's the image. You could have,  

they were close Jacob, and Marcus but then Sylvie

came

between them and now they're divided Sylvie  Disturbed. Their relationship now is very common  

for a girl or a guy to come between a relationship  but it doesn't have to be a person. It could be

Jacob and Marcus were very close,  but the promotion came between them,  

the new job came between them, their family came  between them, their politics came between them,  

their religion came between them, it could be  anything came between them money is a good one,  

as well, that comes between people  in relationships, and remember,  

you can use this in any type of  relationship. Number 6 to put up,

Up with something or someone and notice this is  a to preposition phrasal verb, put up with put up  

with. And we use this to say that you tolerate bad  behavior or unwanted Behavior to put up with. For  

example, I don't know how you put up with your  boss. I don't know how you tolerate your boss.

No, of course, we can be more specific and specify  the action that the boss does. I don't know how  

you put up with your boss's constant criticism,  for example, or your boss's distasteful jokes,  

for example, I don't know how you tolerate  it. Now, we commonly use this to say, I'm

not

going to put up with and then the behavior

I'm not going to put up with your  constant criticism any longer number  

seven to bounce back. Now, to bounce back,  this is when you recover or recuperate,  

now, you can use this when you recover from a  negative situation in a business context, like,  

for example, a bad sales quarter or a bad product,

For example, but it can also be when you recover  or recuperate from an illness so you can use it  

in both. Those situations, for example,  in a workplace situation, you could say,  

I don't know how we'll bounce back from our laws  in Q2, so I don't know how we'll recover and then  

you could have a discussion. How can we bounce  back? Does anyone have any ideas on how we can?

Bounce back. Now, in terms of recovering or  recuperating from an illness, you could say,  

it took me a while to bounce, back  after my surgery. So it took me a  

while to recover recuperate. Number 8, act  up this means to behave badly or strangely.  

This is very commonly used  with parents describing the

Shins of their young children or even their older

children.

My son keeps acting up behaving badly,  but we can also use this with devices  

and objects. For example, my computer  keeps acting up behaving, strangely,  

my computer keeps acting up. I hope it doesn't  break number 9, to make it up to someone.

This is quite a long one. So pay attention  to this sentence structure to make it up to  

someone. Now we use this when you try to  compensate for a wrongdoing, for example,  

let's say it's your best friend's birthday  and you can't go for whatever reason. So this  

is the wrongdoing, not going to  your best friend's birthday party.

Now, if you want to compensate for that  wrongdoing you could say. I'm so sorry.  

I can't make your birthday party. I  promise. I'll make it up to you. I'll  

make it up to you by taking you out for  a nice dinner. I'll make it up to you by  

going to the movies with you. I'll make it up  to you by buying you a really nice present.

So those are the ways you're going to compensate  now, you might be wondering what is this? It  

the make it up to someone. We use it with it  because what, you're trying to compensate for

has

already been explained? So you  don't have to say it again. Now  

you can use this in a business  context. Let's say you went over  

budget on a client's project and  you might say to your team. How

Are we going to make it up to the client? How  are we going to compensate for our wrongdoing?  

The wrongdoing is, you went over budget and then  maybe someone would suggest we can make it up to  

them by offering a discount or offering a  free product offering an extra service. So  

those are how you're going to compensate for the  wrongdoing to make it up to someone number 10 to.

Barge in, when you barge in, you enter  a place, a location unexpectedly and you  

interrupt whatever's taking place. For  example, I was in my office working and  

this kid just barged in and handed  me his CV. But later, I hired him.  

So, by saying the kid barged in it, implies  that he didn't have an appointment. He wasn't.

Did he just barged in unexpectedly and he  interrupted? Whatever I was working on,  

but in this case, it was successful, because  he got the job. Now, that you understand,
