Welcome to JForrest English training, I'm  Jennifer and today you're going to learn 10  

very common phrasal verbs that will help you sound  fluent natural and advanced in English. Now first,  

I'm going to quiz you to see how well, you know,  these phrasal verbs. And then after I'll explain  

each one in detail. Let's get started. Question 1,  can you help me? Your grandfather's old letters.

Now I'll only give you three  seconds to answer so hit pause,  

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

Sift through question 2. I assure you that  your gender didn't our hiring decision.

Bear on question 3. I know you're  tired but maybe a walk will

perk you up question for. It's so  easy to buy Subway in New York City.

Get around question 5, she doesn't fizzy drinks.

Care for the question 6. It was  a great presentation, but you  

the introduction a little too much.

Drew out question 7, it's getting late. So let's

and finish the discussion tomorrow.

Wrap-up question 8, you've been calling  your mother for weeks just do it.

putting off question 9, I just

The report but I haven't read it fully.

Flip through question, 10 with the  extra orders, the whole team has.

Fallen behind. So, how did you do with that  quiz? Don't worry if it was difficult because  

now I'm going to explain every phrasal verb  in detail, and then you can do the quiz again  

to see how much you've improved. So I'll explain  all the phrasal verbs now. Number one to bear on,  

this means to be connected to or related  to. For example, I don't see how that

That information Bears on this case. So I  don't see how that information is connected  

to or related to this case. I don't see how  it Bears on this case. Now we can also mean  

to bear on to mean influence or affect, for  example, our relationship didn't bear on my

decision,

so maybe you have a personal  relationship with a contractor.

And you interviewed many contractors and you chose  the one, you have a personal relationship with,  

but you want people to know that personal  relationship didn't impact or effect. It didn't  

bear on my indecision. This is a more professional  or formal phrasal verb. You'll hear it. A lot in  

the news and reports and you can use it a lot  in a business context. Number two to care for,

Something when you care for something, not  someone something it means that you like  

you have a preference for that something. But we  commonly use this in the negative. So I could say,  

I don't care for chocolate cake. I don't care  for chocolate cake, it's just another way of  

saying. I don't like chocolate cake, I  don't have a preference for chocolate.

Jake, I don't care for chocolate cake so it's a  another way. If somebody offers you something you  

could decline it and simply say, oh I don't  care for chocolate cake or if your coworkers  

are discussing the latest reality TV show and  they want to know what you think about it. You  

can say I don't care for reality TV. It's just  letting them know, you don't really like it.  

It's not your personal preference numbers,  three to perk up to perk up. Means to feel

Oh, better happier or more energized. So think of

first

thing in the morning. When you wake  up, you're still pretty sleepy,  

right? And what do a lot of people do?  They drink coffee? So you could say,  

coffee perks me up coffee, makes me more  energized or going for a walk perks me up.  

We also use this when someone isn't feeling  well, because they're sick or because

The - happened like they lost their job and  you might go over with some flowers with some  

chocolates or just with yourself to try to  help perk up that other person to help make  

them feel better happier more energized. So,  you might say, well the flowers, perked her up,  

perked her up the flowers, perked her up,  the flowers made, her feel better happier.

More energized number for to sift through.  This is a great phrasal verb. We use this  

when you have large amounts of information,  perhaps a lot of paperwork or files books,  

and you need to examine that information to  determine what's useful. What's important?  

For example, after Giuliano quit, I  had to sift through all his files. So,

Has all these files, a lot of information and you  have to examine all of them to determine what you  

can delete and what's important and you need  to keep or at home. Maybe you're going through

your

grandmother's photo albums. And she  has 20 30 different photo albums.  

So you might ask your brother. Can  you help me sift through these photo  

albums? So you're going to examine  them to determine what pictures you

Want to keep and what pictures you  want to get rid of. Maybe you don't  

know who is in that photo or the quality  is really bad. Number five, to wrap up,  

this is another way of saying to end to finish  but is very commonly used especially in a  

business context. So if you're in a meeting  and you're coming to the end of the meeting,  

you could simply say. Alright everyone  let's wrap up. Let's wrap up for today.

Now we commonly add it, let's wrap it up, let's  wrap it up for today, it's getting late, let's  

wrap it up, the it is the meeting, the meeting,  the conference, the event, whatever. You're in  

that you want to finish or end, or you could  say, how should we wrap up the conference? How  

should we finish or end the conference? You want  to do it in a memorable way? Right? How should we

We wrap up the conference and then you can  have a discussion on that. Number 6, it to  

flip through. When you flip through a book a  report a magazine. It means you go through it  

really quickly. So usually because you want  to get a general idea of what that book is  

about or because you're looking for very  specific information. So if you have this

report

that's 130 pages but you're  looking for a very specific

Piece of information. You can  just quickly flip through it,  

to find that specific part of the report, or  you can do this, when you're waiting for a  

friend to arrive waiting for a bus, you might  flip through a magazine just look through it,  

but you're not really reading anything.  You're just flipping through it. You're  

going through it quickly. Number 7 to  draw out when you draw something out,

Out, you make it a lot longer than  necessary or needed. So is usually  

used in a more negative context. For  example, he really Drew out his speech,  

he made the speech a lot longer than it needed  to be or that it should have been. So it's more  

of a - it's criticizing the speech or you  could say they really Drew out the end.

Aang of the movie so maybe you were enjoying the  movie but then the end was just really long way  

longer than it needed to be. And you're wondering,  when is this movie going to end? They really Drew  

out the end of the movie, number eight to fall  behind, this is a great phrasal verb for both a  

professional context, and a personal context when  you fall behind. It means you make less progress.

Than wanted or needed. Let's say you were

off

sick from work for over a week. Well,  you're definitely going to fall behind.  

You're going to make less progress than  needed because you have a deadline or  

than just you simply wanted to make because  you were gone for an entire week so often we  

can fall behind because we're sick  or there is a competing deadline.

Are competing project or something going  on in your personal life. But it could  

also simply be because we didn't work hard  enough or fast enough and we fell behind.  

So in a school context. If you don't spend  enough time reading or doing your homework,  

your exercises, you might fall behind and  if you fall behind you might have to ask  

your professor for an extension  on a specific assignment number.

49 to get around. This is when you move from  place to place within a specific location. So  

let's say the location is your city and  I'm visiting your city. I could ask you  

what's the best way to get around? What's the  best method of transportation to go from place  

to place within your city. So what would you  say, What's the best way to get around in your

City. And then you can say, oh Jennifer,  you can easily get around on foot,  

which means you can walk from location to location  

because your city is very small or  you might say, you definitely need a

car

to get around. Maybe your city is quite large  and spaced out and it's not possible to walk.  

So you need a car to get around to go from  place to place. So this is an extremely

Only useful phrasal verb, when you're a tourist  because you should absolutely know how to get  

around in the city. You're visiting. And finally  number 10 to put off, when you put something off  

it means you delay it or postpone it. Now  you could put off a meeting you could delay  

or postpone a meeting for a specific reason.  You might say, let's put off the meeting until

Next week. So let's delay. The meeting  until next week. A lot of times people  

will put off things that are unpleasant,  things they don't want to do. For example,  

I've been putting off asking my boss for a raise.  I've been putting off asking my boss for a raise,  

so notice the Jaron verb? I've been putting  off asking, I've been putting off cleaning.

My closet, I've been putting off buying  new tires. So you need that Jaron verb  

and why are you delaying it postponing?  Because it's uncomfortable unpleasant,  

now that you're more comfortable with these  phrasal verbs? How about we do that same  

quiz again. So you can see how much you've  improved here. Are the questions. Hit pause,  

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