So hit pause, take as much time as you need, and when you're ready, hit play to see the

answer.

The phrasal verb is to ask out the question 2.

If you like a jean ra of music you can say I'm really country music.

I'm really into country music.

Remember, I'm going to explain every single phrasal verb in detail.

So don't worry, if this test is difficult number three, if a movie made you sad, you

can say that movie really me down

That movie really brought me down number four.

If you think someone should be happier you can say cheer.

Cheer Up, cheer up and number five, do you have time to the dry cleaning on your way

home?

Do you have time to pick up number six?

You see that box.

Can you at the post office?

Can you drop it off?

Number 7.

We ended up.

At home.

We ended up staying at home number 8, 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 number 10.

How did you?

That Maria was fired.

How did you find out?

So, how did you do with that quiz?

Was it easy or difficult to share your score in the comments?

And now, I'll explain every phrasal verb in detail.

With example, sentences number one to 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 is the reason why when you ask someone out, it's to 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 date.

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?

I won't yet he's obviously into her.

So notice here why hasn't Jim asked Maria out.

Ask someone out our someone is Maria.

Now, of course you need the subject who's doing the action.

So Jim is inviting me.

Area on a date.

A date is always romantic right now.

Maria could say no and we're going to talk about that later on in 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 that 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 something, 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.

I'm really into.

I'm really into Jack Johnson.

Now, when I say that, oh, 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

Part that light King 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

To 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 play,

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 could talk about

any hobby or activity.

Oh, I'm really into going hiking.

I'm really into playing video games.

So we use this.

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, the 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

me 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 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 could say I took my friend out to lunch

CH 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 pick 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 that's

when you take an object,

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, you know it but you can use it with a something, 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?

Who's very common to get a call from someone and they ask you o.

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

Anna.

Something and what's the opposite of to pick someone up.

Well, it's 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 could say, I drop my husband off at work.

I dropped my friend off at the airport.

Now, you might also ask

Ask someone, can you drop 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 mailbox.

Can you drop this letter off on your way to work.

Number 72, end up to end up is a very useful phrasal verb.

We use it to say that you eventually do something.

Or eventually decide something.

So you might say I ended up asking, Julie out.

I ended up asking, Julie out, who is our first example?

I can't remember.

Oh, it wasn't Julie.

It was Jim and Maria.

So let me give that again.

Jim ended up asking Maria out.

So remember before I said, why hasn't Jim asked Maria?

Oh yeah.

Yet.

So now remember to end up that's to eventually do something so after a period of time, so

Jim ended up asking Maria out by but she turned him down.

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

If Maria I was going to see Julie.

Again, if Maria says no, well that's to turn someone

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?

Hmm.

How about a job offer?

Hmm.

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 decline.

You refuse you

You reject, you say, no.

So Maria turned gym down.

Now, you might also say I was turned down for the job.

I was turned down.

Now you could turn that into an active sentence.

They turned me down.

I was turned down by the company, they turned me down.

So in this specific phrasal verb, it is commonly used.

In the passive.

So I would get comfortable with the passive, but you can use it in the act of, of course,

as well.

Number 9 to fill in, or to fill out forms.

Okay, so notice your I gave you two prepositions.

I know students, get confused.

What's the difference between Finland 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.

Nation into a form, your filling in that 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 in 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.

No.

Is 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 our character Jim.

So maybe Jim could say, how did you find out that Maria turned me down.

So maybe.

The gym is a little embarrassed.

He thought this was just a secret, nobody knew, but then a friend, try to cheer him

up because he knew Maria turned him down after he asked her, oat notice all her phrasal verbs.

So Jim could say, how did you find out that Maria turn me down.

So how did you discover this?

How did you learn this?

How did you find this out?

And we

This is 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 1.

The phrasal verb used to invite someone on a romantic date is

The phrasal verb is to ask out question 2.

If you like a jean ra of music, you can say I'm really country music.

That movie really brought me down number four.

If you think someone should be happier you can say cheer.

Cheer Up, cheer up.

Number five, do you have time to the dry cleaning on your way home?

Do you have time to pick up number six?

You see that box.

Can you at the post office?

Can you drop it off?

Number 7.

We ended up.

At home.

We ended up staying at home number 8, 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.

How did you find out?

Question 1, please bear me while I look up your file.

please bear with me while I look up your file question to the phrasal verb to attend to

means,

To attend to means to work on number 3.

Why are you so angry?

You need to cool.

You need to cool down number for the phrasal verb for repair is

the phrasal verb for repair is fix up number five, the phrasal verb for to discuss something,

so you can reach an agreement is

To hash out to hash out number 6.

If someone is being too serious you can tell them to

Lighten up, lighten up, you're being too serious.

Lighten up number 7, after years of studying English, my hard work has finally paid

My hard work has finally paid off number 8, we shouldn't rule out.

A graphic designer.

We shouldn't rule out hiring, a graphic designer, number nine, my boss.

For being late again.

My boss chewed me out for being late again and number 10.

Let's give everyone a few minutes to before we begin.

To settle in.

So, how did you do with that quiz?

Was it easy, difficult?

Share your score in the comments below and now I'm going to explain every single phrasal

verb in detail.

So let's do that.

Now to bear with someone, this is a very common phrasal verb.

It has a simple, meaning, it means to be patient with someone.

So we use this a lot with customer service.

Natives or anytime.

Someone is providing you with a service now.

It's very common when that person is providing you with that service to say, please bear

with me.

Please bear with me.

Please be patient.

So notice our verb tense, that's in the imperative, the imperative.

So we're starting with the base verb.

Now, if you use this verb, in other verb tenses, it's an irregular verb.

The

How simple is boar and the past participial is any idea.

It's born.

That's right, born with an optional easy for spelling but pronunciation is exactly the

same in the past simple.

You could say I bore with him for 20 minutes, I was patient with him for 20 minutes and

in the past participial you can use this in the present.

Perfect.

You

Might say I've born with you for 20 minutes.

Our next phrasal verb is to attend to.

Now notice, we're using the verb a tent.

And I could say last night, I attended the party, but that's not a phrasal verb.

That's just a regular verb because I don't have a preposition.

I attended the party I went to the

Party.

But if we use the phrasal verb attend to the meaning is different.

I could say I attended to the party.

Now in this case, this means that I worked on or I paid attention to the party.

So how could you work on a party?

Well, you could work on organizing a party.

So organizing all the details, sending out the invitations.

Buying the food, cleaning the apartment, getting the decorations, I attended to the party.

So pay attention because the verb attend and the phrasal verb, a tend to have different

meanings are next phrasal verb to cool.

Down to cool down, we use this when someone is really angry upset, or frustrated and you

want them to relax,

You can say cool down, cool down.

So let's say a client has been sending you a lot of emails and you're feeling really

angry irritated annoyed frustrated with that client.

But before you call that client, you should definitely cool down.

You need to take a minute and relax because you don't want to call that client when you're

angry and frustrated and annoyed you need to cook.

Cool down.

Relax, chill.

Our next phrasal verb to fix something up.

When you fix something up, it means you repair it or you change it in order to improve it.

Now, in this case, when you change it is not necessarily broken.

It could be that it's functioning but you want to improve it.

So you make some changes to it, you fix it up.

So for example,

Humble I could say Sally loves fixing up old cars in her free time.

Fixing up old cars so she repairs them but it could also mean that she just changes them.

Maybe the car is working perfectly but she changes it.

She changes the color or she adds something to it, she fixes it up.

Now this is a very common phrasal verb around the house because there's always something

to fix up, right?

To change to repair to improve our next phrasal verb.

To Hash something out, when you have something out, it means you talk about something specific

with other people, and you do that because you want to get agreement, you want to get

agreement on the details, so you can use this when you're planning a conference planning,

a party planning a project, any kind of event.

And of course, with a project or conference, there are many details, the date the time,

who's doing what?

So, you need to.

Hash out those details, you need to talk about them to get agreement, okay?

We agreed to the time of the conference, we hashed it out, we hashed out the time of the

conference are nice.

Phrasal verb to lighten up.

Now, remember I already taught you to cool down and that's when you're really angry frustrated

annoyed and you want to relax.

Well, when you tell someone to lighten up you also want them to relax but they're not,

angry, frustrated or annoyed.

They're just being too serious, that's it.

They're being too serious.

They don't have a sense of humor, so maybe you were joking around.

With a co-worker and they took it too seriously and you just wanted to have some fun and joke

around but they're too serious.

So you might say lighten up.

Lighten up laugh, a little smile, a little you're too serious.

So someone who's always

Like this, you know, they're not smiling.

They're not laughing.

They're just always very serious.

You might want to tell that person to lighten up smile relax laughs.

But just remember it isn't the same as cool down because cool down your angry and annoyed

lighten up.

You're too serious.

That's the difference between the two, our next phrasal verb to pay off.

Now when

Thing pays off it means that you see the benefit of the something.

So let's say, you spent the last month at home studying for a big exam and you took

the exam and you passed, you got a really high Mark.

You can say all my studying paid off.

So remember something pays off.

My studying paid off.

I now see the benefit of all the studying I did.

So we use this a lot for any kind of work or effort that you put in.

Now it can be mental work for studying for your job, but it can also be physical work

as well.

So all you're dieting.

You're exercising, paid off because now you lost weight.

Or stronger.

You see the benefits of all your work.

So we can use this with both mental work and physical work.

Our next phrasal verb to rule out.

We use this when something prevents something else from happening.

So, a classic example, we have covid and we have traveling now.

Covid is preventing traveling from happening, right?

So we can say, covid-19 t traveling?

Right covid.

Prevented traveling covid ruled out traveling our next phrasal verb to chew.

Someone out to chew someone out.

This is when you tell someone that they've done something wrong but you tell them angrily

so you don't

tell them comment calmly.

Even though you made a mistake, you shouldn't have done that.

No, you're angry.

So you might yell a little you might use language that you normally wouldn't, you're angry.

Somebody did something wrong and you tell them.

So maybe your boss chewed you out because you were late for an important meeting.

So your boss was not calm, your boss was angry.

Why were you late?

You shouldn't have

Late, why are you haven't?

I fired you yet, he chews, you out, or maybe you're on a sports team and your coach chewed

you out because you missed an important practice.

Now, a, somebody choose you out, and they're really angry.

What phrasal verb goes with that phrasal verb, that we've already learned who'll down, right?

Because if somebody's angry, why were you late?

You can say, cool down, cool down.

Relax.

And then you can explain why you were late our final phrasal verb to settle.

In when you settle in, it means you get comfortable in a new environment.

And that new environment is generally a new house, a new school, a new workplace.

And of course at the beginning, you're not comfortable just because everything is new,

right?

But then you

Some time to settle in so settle in just means to get comfortable in a new environment.

So let's say you move to a new city and a few weeks later, a friend could ask you o,

have you settled in, have you settled in?

So they're just asking you, do you feel comfortable in your new city and then you might reply

back and say, yeah, I've settled in or no, I haven't settled in yet.

Now that you know how to use all of these phrasal verbs?

How about we do the exact same quiz from the very beginning, and you can compare your score

from the first time to this time.

So let's do that quiz again.

Now, question 1, please bear me while I look up your file.

please bear with me while I look up your file question to the phrasal verb to attend to

means,

To attend to means to work on number 3.

Why are you so angry?

You need to cool.

you need to cool down a number for the phrasal verb for repair is

the phrasal verb for repair is fix up number five, the phrasal verb for to discuss something,

so you can reach an agreement is

To hash out to hash out number 6.

If someone is being too serious you can tell them to

Lighten up, lighten up, you're being too serious.

Lighten up number 7, after years of studying English, my hard work has finally paid

My hard work has finally paid off number 8, we shouldn't rule out.

A graphic designer.

We shouldn't rule out hiring, a graphic designer, number nine, my boss for being late again.

My boss chewed me out for being late again and number 10.

Let's give everyone a few minutes to before we begin.

To settle in.

question 1, the phrasal verb used when you gradually introduce a new rule policy or law

is

The phrasal verb is to save in question 2 if you want to reserve a specific time in

your calendar, you can block it.

You can block it off question 3.

When the fire alarm went off everyone.

Of the building.

Everyone cleared out of the building question for will have to air conditioning this summer.

We'll have to do without question 5.

If someone is removed from a position against their will, they are

They are forced out of that position.

Number six, the phrasal verb used when information becomes clear in one's mind is

To sink in question, 7, the government had to a lot of companies during the pandemic.

The government had to bail out question 8.

Oh no.

I think I behind my phone.

I think I left behind my phone.

Question, nine.

You don't want to miss this amazing opportunity.

Miss out on and question 10.

The phrasal verb for arrive is

Show up.

So how did you do with that quiz with it easy or was it difficult?

Now, I'll explain every phrasal verb in detail with the definition and example, sentence

as well to face something in.

When you face something in, it means that you introduce something new but you introduced

it gradually which means little by little and generally what we're introducing

Seing is a new law, a new rule, a new regulation, or a new policy.

So let's say that your company has a new policy and they're introducing a dress code, a dress

code will tell you what you can and cannot wear to work.

Now let's say they announced the new dress code, but they say, we're phasing in the new

dress code, over the next two months.

Now, why would they want to introduce it little by little?

Well, maybe it's because they want to give you time to prepare.

You might have to go out and buy new clothing for example.

So you might have to save money to do that and get comfortable doing that as well.

So maybe the first week, they introduced the new shirts that they want you to wear, and

then the next week it's the new shoes and the following week, it's the new pants and

little by little they phase in the new dress.

Code number to, to block off.

Now, the thing about phrasal verbs is there always use in a very specific context.

So in this context, a block off, we're talking specifically about time in your calendar or

on your schedule, so you're blocking off time.

So what does that mean?

It means that you reserve that time for a specific task.

Or activity and you reserve that time.

So no one else can schedule a meeting with you or no, one else can assign you a task

during those specific blocks of time because you block them off.

So let's say you're preparing for the I elds and you might block off Monday, Wednesday

Friday from 7 to 9 in your calendar and that is the time you're going to spend

Studying for I oats, or if you have an important deadline at work, you might block off the

entire day.

So, you might block off Monday and just focus on that task.

So you can meet the deadline.

So this is probably something you do every single day.

Anyway, for time management purposes and now you know how to explain that.

Naturally in English number three to clear out.

And again remember, phrasal verbs

Are used in a very specific context.

And in this context, we are talking about clearing out of a location like a restaurant

or even a conference and office a mall.

Any location that has a lot of people in it generally.

And when people clear out of a location, it means they simply leave the location but that

location then becomes empty.

So the majority

Charity.

Or all of the people, leave a location, that's when you clear out of a location.

So let's say, you go to lunch at a restaurant around 1:30 and it's really busy, you get

the last available table and you're eating your lunch or talking to your coworker and

then around 2:30, you look around and you notice that you're the only table left in

the restaurant and remember the

Restaurant was full when you got there so you could turn to your coworker and say, wow,

it really cleared out which means everybody left.

The restaurant number for to do without something.

This is a really useful one because it's a fact of life, you're going to have to do without

certain things at certain times in your life.

So when you do without something, it means you manage.

Despite the lack of, and it's the lack of the something that you do without.

So let me give you an example.

Maybe finances are a little tight, you didn't get that bonus.

You were hoping for.

So you might say, we'll have to do without a cleaner for the next few months do without

a cleaner.

So a cleaner is someone who cleans your house a house cleaner now.

Previously, a lot of

Call this a maid.

I know many people in certain countries, still call it a made in North America.

It's considered outdated.

And even a little Politically Incorrect to call someone a maid.

We Now call them house cleaners so just so, you know, it's more politically correct to

use house cleaner.

So, you have to manage manager, day-to-day manager house, despite the lack of a house

cleaner.

Are we have to do without a house cleaner?

Because I didn't get the bonus so you can use this in a personal context like I just

gave you or you can use this in a work context as well.

Maybe your assistant, quit and you're having trouble finding a new assistant.

So you might say, well, I guess I'll have to do without an assistant for the next month,

which means you have to manage all your work without an assistant do without some

I think it's a very useful phrasal verb because we all have to do without certain things a

certain points in our life.

Our next phrasal verb to force out, this is a very useful business phrasal verb.

You're going to hear it in the media and newspapers all the time.

When someone is forced out, it means that they are asked to leave their position, but

it wasn't their decision to do.

So notice

is the sentence structure.

I used, I put this in the passive to be forced out, for example, the CEO was forced out after

the Scandal, so there's a scandal, obviously it didn't look good for the CEO.

So the company wanted him to leave the CEO himself.

Did not want to leave, but the company wanted him to leave.

So the CEO was forced out.

Now, if you use it in the active sentence, you be talking about who forced out the CEO.

So, you might say the board of directors forced this CEO out after the Scandal, so you can

absolutely use this in the active, but it's very commonly used in the passive.

Our next phrasal verb.

Number six to sink in when something sinks in, it becomes clear in your mind.

And

The something that sinking in is information news and event.

For example, it took them a while before his mother's death sunken.

So, his mother died, but that fact, that event didn't sink in for some time.

It didn't become clear.

So he didn't process it.

He didn't fully understand it.

He didn't fully accept it as

Fact, as a reality for some time.

So the event, his mother's death didn't sink in.

So we do use this a lot for tragic events, but we can also use this with difficult or

complicated information.

For example, let's say your coworker is explaining a new accounting software and it's pretty

technical.

So your co-workers explaining it explaining explaining it quite quickly and you might

say,

Give me a minute to let that sink in.

So, that is the information.

The information.

Your coworker was just explaining and for that the information to sink in.

It means for you to fully understand it to fully process it.

So we can use it for tragic events, but we can also use this for complicated information.

Number seven, to bail out.

This is another must know, business freezer,

Verb.

But you can also use it in your personal life, as well.

When you bail someone out, it means that you rescue them and you rescue them from a financially

difficult situation.

So remember that CEO?

That was forced out in our previous example?

Well, maybe he had a sister that bailed him out his sister bailed him out, which means

his sister helped him financially.

Anshel e.

So maybe she gave them a place to stay because he couldn't afford his rent.

She gave him food because he couldn't afford groceries, and she gave him money because

he didn't have any his sister bailed him out so we can use it in a personal context.

But this is commonly used in a business context in the sense of the government bailing out

companies because they're about to go bankrupt.

And why would the government do that?

Well, because that company is important for the economy.

For example, in the US, the company Chrysler, which is an automobile company.

They've been bailed out by the government multiple times Chrysler.

As a company, has almost gone bankrupt multiple times, and the government has come in and

bailed the company out.

They bailed Chrysler out now.

Number 8 to leave something behind.

This is a very useful.

One in your everyday vocabulary, when you leave something behind it, simply means that

you forget something at a specific location.

So, we do this all the time, right?

We go to a restaurant, a cafe.

We put our phone on the counter, we get our coffee and we go, and oh no, I left my phone

behind.

I think I left my phone behind at the cafe.

So it's just the same as saying.

I think I forgot my phone at the cafe, you can use this with any object.

You can leave behind your keys, your sweater, your jacket, your computer, whatever you want.

So this is a very useful one.

So what about you?

Have you ever left something important behind, maybe you left your cell phone behind or your

laptop behind or important, Family Photos behind?

Have you ever left?

Being behind, let us know in the comments.

Number nine to miss out on something to miss out on something and this is when you miss

an important opportunity or an experience, that shouldn't have been missed.

So, let's say that you work for Tesla and Elon Musk was making an appearance at your

office that day and you were going to get to meet Elon Musk.

Your bus was late and you didn't get to work on time and you didn't get to meet Elon Musk.

You my friend just missed out on an opportunity of a lifetime, you missed out on meeting Elon

Musk?

So you could say, I can't believe I missed out.

You can just end it there.

I can't believe I missed out if you want to continue you can say I can't believe

II missed out on meeting Elon Musk and finally number ten to show up to show up, has a very

simple definition.

It means to appear or arrived, native speakers.

Don't really use a peer or arrived.

We use show up.

For example, what time did you show up to the party?

I would never say, what time did you arrive to the party?

I wouldn't say that.

That sounds

unnatural outdated to formal, I would say what time did you show up?

What time did you show up to the party?

What time did you show up last night?

Now let's say you got to work late, one day, and your boss is standing at your desk as

you're walking to your desk and you're 45 minutes.

Late and your boss might look at you and say, oh, how nice of you to finally show up.

That's

It's Lee sarcastic.

But this happens a lot.

If you get to a party, really late or even if you're just having dinner at home with

your, your husband, or your wife, but dinner is normally at 7 and you don't get home till

7:30 and your husband, or your wife has been waiting and waiting and waiting.

When you get home, they might say, oh, how nice of you to finally show up.

So we use this a lot in a sarcastic.

Okwe when someone is late but we also use it just to talk about getting somewhere.

Oh I showed up at and then you say the time.

So now that you feel more comfortable with these phrasal verbs, how about we do the exact

same quiz again and you can compare your score from the first time to the second time.

So let's do that quiz again.

Now question 1.

The phrasal verb used.

when you gradually introduce a new rule policy or law is

The phrasal verb is to save in question 2 if you want to reserve a specific time in

your calendar, you can block it.

You can block it off question 3.

When the fire alarm went off everyone.

Of the building.

Everyone cleared out of the building question for will have to air conditioning this summer.

We'll have to do without question 5.

If someone is removed from a position against their will, they are

They are forced out of that position.

Number six, the phrasal verb used when information becomes clear in one's mind is

To sink in question, 7, the government had to a lot of companies during the pandemic.

The government had to bail out question 8.

Oh no.

I think I behind my phone.

I think I left behind my phone.

Question, nine.

You don't want to miss this amazing opportunity.

Miss out on and question 10.

The phrasal verb for arrive is

show up.

Question 1.

This new app I downloaded

So much memory.

This new app, I downloaded takes up question to when a company expands into other locations.

It

If branch has out question, 3, the phrasal verb used.

When you write something down, is

Jot down question for.

Can you the performance reports next week?

Can you carry out question 5?

I'm having a hard time.

The assignment.

I'm having a hard time keeping up with question 6.

If you enter your information in a form, you

Fill in or fill out.

So see question seven.

This CEO might this week.

the CEO might drop in question 8, if you delay any event, you

you push it back, question 9, if you cancel any event, you

You call it off and question 10.

I'm not sure who's presenting.

We're still the details.

We're still sorting out the details.

So, how did you do with that quiz?

Share your score in the comments and now, I'll explain each phrasal verb in detail to

take up.

This means to occupy or to fill.

Now, we use this specifically with two different nouns.

You can take up time and you can take up space and

they're both very commonly used.

For example, I could say this meeting took up my whole morning, so it occupied or filled

the amount of time.

Now, we can also use this with space.

For example, I need a new couch because my coach takes up too much space so it occupies

or fills space.

So remember you can

Use this with both time and space and they're both.

Very commonly used.

Number two, is to Branch out.

Now, this means to expand and we use this specifically in a business context.

So let's say you're in a meeting and you're discussing how to increase your profits.

You might suggest branching out into new markets.

So if you only sell in North,

America, you can Branch out expand and sell in Europe or in Asia Africa.

For example, we need to Branch out into new markets.

Number three, this is a fun.

One to jot down.

Now, you would probably understand this from Context in the meeting.

I jotted down a few notes.

I jotted down a few notes so it's the

Same thing as write down.

I wrote down a few notes but is very commonly used.

So someone might ask you, maybe your boss or a colleague even might say, hey can you

jot this down?

And then they might give you a number, or a date, or a location and you write it down.

Now, of course, not many people use pen and paper anymore, right?

We take electronic notes.

But if you're

Colleague asks you to jot something down.

You can absolutely take out your phone and make a note in your phone, jot it down in

your phone.

Write it down in your phone.

So this still applies even though we don't really use pen and paper.

Much number for to carry out, this means to perform or to conduct, and we use a specifically

in a business context.

For example, next week, we're carrying out

What's our customer.

Surveys are student surveys.

We're carrying out our surveys.

We're conducting them.

We're performing them.

So I'm just going to do the survey.

That's the simplest way to say it.

Next week we're doing the surveys.

We're carrying out the surveys number five, this is an important one.

So make sure you jot it down number 5 to keep up.

Up with something, this means to make sufficient progress on, let's say that you have this

many orders and it is your job to fulfill those orders.

If you fulfill this many, you've kept up with the orders you've made sufficient progress,

but if you fulfill this money or this many, or this many or anything, less than the totality,

Number of orders, then you haven't kept up with the orders.

You haven't made sufficient progress on now, of course, you can use this with many things

other than orders.

You can use it with your studies your reading list your chores your performance reports.

You're filing your scheduling.

You can use it with many many many other tasks number.

Six to fill out or to fill in a form.

Now.

This is one that confuses a lot of students and they ask me do I fill out a form do I

fill in the form?

What's the difference?

The reality is?

There is no difference specifically when we're talking about a form now when you have to

fill out an application you could also fill in an application.

Asian fill out your passport.

Renewal you can fill in your passport renewal in this specific context.

There's no difference.

Number 72 drop in.

This is a great phrasal verb because you can use it both in a business context or a social

context.

Now, to drop in simply means to visit.

So if you're talking to a friend and you're planning to visit that friend, you

Can say, how about I drop in Saturday morning?

How about I visit Saturday morning?

Now in a business context, you might have a client that wants to drop in that wants

to visit or you might drop in on a client, just to say hello and to keep that relationship

going.

So you can use this in both a social and a business context.

Number eight to push back.

This,

Means to delay or postpone in the context of a scheduled event.

So it's scheduled event like a meeting.

Let's see, the meeting was scheduled for Monday but everyone is really busy on Monday.

Well, then push the meeting back until Wednesday postponed it until Wednesday.

Now you can use this in a social context so you might be planning your wedding anniversary.

And it's

Your 10-year wedding anniversary and the actual date is March 30th, but everyone is busy.

So you might push it back until the middle of April.

So more people can attend.

Well, everyone's busy.

So let's push back the party until next week until two weeks from now.

So you can push back a scheduled event which means to delay or postpone number nine.

So,

Off.

Now this means to cancel a scheduled event.

So remember in our last one to push back, you delay or postpone, but the other alternative

is simply to cancel it.

But generally, when you call something off, it's because there were some problems or issues

associated with it but the problem or issue could be a

Drooling conflict and just people couldn't attend.

So let's say you are planning a conference for the summer but nobody registered because

everyone's really busy in the summer.

So you might discuss it with your team and say let's call off the conference.

Attendance is too low so let's call it off.

Let's cancel it.

Now, you can also use this in a social context, you might call off your wedding.

But if you canceled your wedding, the most likely, there was a problem, an issue, a big

one, right?

So in that context, in a social event, most people will wonder what happened.

Why did they call off their wedding?

Why did they call off their anniversary?

They're going to assume that something is wrong.

And number 10 to sort out, this means to organize or to

Fix if there's a problem.

For example, I need to sort out my travel plans, so it could mean, I just need to organize

them.

So, I need to decide when I'm going to travel, what airline I'm going to use.

What hotel I'm going to use.

I need to sort out my travel plans, but I can also use it if there's some sort of problem

and I need to fix it.

For example, my flight was

Canceled.

So I need to sort out my travel plans.

I need to fix this problem with my plans.

So to sort something out you can organize it or you can fix it.

If there's a problem now that you're more comfortable with these phrasal verbs.

Let's do the exact same quiz from the beginning again, and you can compare your score from

the first time to the second time.

So let's do that.

Same quiz now.

Option one, this new app I downloaded.

So much memory.

This new app, I downloaded takes up question to when a company expands into other locations.

It

it grants has out question 3.

The phrasal verb used when you write something down, is

Jot down question for.

Can you the performance reports next week?

Can you carry out question 5?

I'm having a hard time.

The assignment.

I'm having a hard time keeping up with question 6.

If you enter your information in a form, you

Fill in or fill out.

So see question seven.

This CEO might this week.

the CEO might drop in question 8, if you delay any event, you

you push it back, question 9, if you cancel any event, you

You call it off and question 10.

I'm not sure who's presenting.

We're still the details.

We're still sorting out the details.

Question 1, you're not going to paying $500 for that.

You're not going to talk me into question to Mariah.

This sales proposal yesterday.

Mariah Drew up question, 3.

Good news.

Because everyone we met the deadline.

because everyone stepped it up, question for, if you keep skipping breaks, you're going

to

You're going to burn out question 5.

That's a great point.

You should

At the meeting.

You should bring it up.

Question 6.

Who do you?

The most in your family.

Who do you look up to question, seven, how long do we need to at the party?

How long do we need to stick around question a, your tires look, really.

You should get new ones.

Your tires look really worn out.

Question 9, this seller tried to

So we didn't buy it.

The seller tried to rip us off.

Question 10, I noticed that this report our production costs,

This report honed in on how did you do with the quiz with it?

Easy or difficult, share your score in the comments and don't worry if it was hard because

now I'll explain every phrasal verb in detail.

Number one, to rip off, we use this when someone is selling something or buying something and

the buyer feels that the price is too high compared to the value of whatever.

They're buying for example.

I can't believe I paid $200 for that.

She ripped me off.

Now notice the sentence structure you rip someone off.

She ripped me off another example.

She told everyone that I ripped her off but it was a fair price.

So just because someone claims you rip them off it doesn't necessarily mean.

It's true.

Number 22.

We're out.

We use this when something is damaged or weakened because of age, it's old or because of use,

you've used it a lot.

For example, I wore out my tennis shoes last summer.

If someone said that to me, I would assume they played.

Made a lot of tennis last summer, they played so much, tennis that they wore out their shoes,

they became damaged from use from continually playing tennis.

We also use this in adjective form to be worn out.

So it would be very common to say, I need to buy new tennis shoes because mine are worn

out.

So, of course, our because shoes

Plural and we need the plural form of the verb to be mine.

My tennis shoes are worn out.

So both forms are very common.

Number three to draw up.

We use this when you need to prepare paperwork and generally that paperwork is for a contract

and agreement.

A proposal generally, something that two people need to sign or agree on to make it official.

For example, I asked my lawyer to draw up the papers, whenever you're dealing with a

lawyer, the papers are going to be official.

So this is a perfect time to use to draw up or you could say, we're waiting for our bank

to draw up the mortgage agreement.

So that's another very official document that you need to sign and you can use the phrasal

verb to draw up number for toad burn out.

This is a phrasal verb that has gotten a lot of attention recently, especially with the

pandemic because to burn out.

This is when you feel exhausted mentally or physically from prolonged stress stress of

work, stress of a situation like a pandemic stress of a family situation like a divorce

or an illness.

Something like that but a prolonged period.

You

Can be stressed out for a day.

But when you burn out, it means you've had that stress for a long period of time.

Several weeks several months, or even several years.

For example, I burned out at my last job so perhaps I was working so much that I went

through this period of prolonged stress.

I burned out another example, I burned out after caring for my aging,

Parents.

So caregivers often experience burnout.

So you can use this in a work situation or you can use it in a personal situation as

well.

Number five to look up to someone.

So notice we have two prepositions look up to and then someone we use this when you admire

someone or you respect someone.

So I could say I looked up to

him like a father.

So of course I admire and respect my father and I'm comparing the situation to someone

else.

I looked up to him, I admired him like a father.

Another example, I really look up to my boss.

So you admire your boss, you respect your boss, you hold your boss in high regard.

So you can use this in a work situation.

You can look up to people

You can use this in a social situation of family situation.

You can have many different people in your life that you look up to for different reasons.

Number 6.

It's a step up.

Now, that's the phrasal verb, but we most commonly use it in the expression to step

it up.

Notice that it, it's very important to step it up, to step it up.

This simply means to work harder or two.

Try harder.

Now, you can say we need to step it up if we're going to meet the deadline.

So you have this deadline, you need to work harder.

So it's the same as saying we need to work harder.

If we're going to meet the deadline, Step It Up.

Now, what is this it in the expression?

Well, the it would represent work or effort.

We need to step up our

Our work.

We need to step up our effort.

Step it up.

I encourage you to use it that way, step it up because you'll sound like a native speaker.

We have a really common expression with this step it up and then you add the two words,

a notch, step it up a notch.

If you look at a dial, a notch is one move on the dial.

So it represents a little bit, a small amount.

Step It Up on Notch, it's just like saying, step it up a little bit.

So that's just a common expression.

You need to step it up a notch.

If you want to meet the deadline so you can use it with a notch.

It's very common or you can use it without number seven to hone in.

On this is another to preposition phrasal verb.

We have hone in on hone in on something.

And this means to really

Focus on something to put all your attention on something specific.

For example, if we want to get more customers, we should really hone in on small business

owners.

So maybe right now you're not being very specific and you're looking at all customers, but you

want to hone in on one specific segment of the population small business owners

So you're going to focus on them, you're going to hone in on them.

Another example for the presentation we should really hone in on South America.

So maybe you're a global company and you have branches all over the world.

But for this specific presentation, you're going to hone in on one specific part of the

world South America.

Now, many native speakers native speakers non-students, many.

This speaker is mistakenly say home in awn.

We need to home in on, and that's because in pronunciation, they're very similar Honan

Holman and hone, what's that?

It's not really used very much but everybody knows the word home, but this isn't correct.

The expression is not home in on the expression is hone in on.

So make sure you get that both in pronunciation.

Ation home and in spelling as well.

And if you hear a native speaker, say home in on their incorrect, number eight, this

is a must know phrasal verb to bring up.

And this is when you begin a discussion on a specific topic, for example, if you're in

a staff meeting, it would be very common for the boss or whoever's leading the meeting

to say, before we end the meeting does

One have anything to bring up?

Does anyone have a specific topic?

They want to discuss.

Does anyone have anything to bring up?

Or after the meeting?

You might tell another colleague.

I didn't have a chance to bring up the marketing proposal, so you didn't have a chance to discuss

this specific topic, the marketing proposal, maybe you ran out of time.

Number nine to talk into

To, and the sentence structure is to talk someone into something, and this means to

convince someone to do something.

For example, she talked me into helping her move, she convinced me to help her move.

So, when someone uses this, oh, she talked me into helping her move.

It gives you the impression that the person didn't really want to do the activity, but

somebody can.

Convince them but please I really need your help.

I'll buy pizza or maybe you could say my team talked me into bringing up the bonus at the

staff meeting.

So notice I use bring up discuss a specific topic.

The bonus.

My team talked me into bringing up the bonus now because maybe discussing the bonus is

a little bit of a sensitive issue.

And

Buddy wants to do it, but your team convinced you lucky you.

So they talked you into it.

And number 10 to stick around.

This is a must use phrasal verb.

You can use it in a social setting or a professional setting to stick around, means to stay in

a location for a period of time.

So let's say you're at this beautiful park with a friend and

After an hour or so, your friend has to leave and they say do you want to share an Uber

and you say no I'm going to stick around a little bit longer so you're going to stay

in a specific location the park for a period of time.

It is unknown, how long you'll stay?

That doesn't really matter.

It's just the fact you're going to stay, I'm going to stick around a little bit longer.

It's such a beautiful day, I'm going to stick around.

Now, you can also use this in the - I can't stick around very long because I have a meeting

although it's a beautiful day.

I can't stick around very long.

I have a meeting to get back to now that you're more comfortable with these phrasal verbs.
