Now we also use pull up with

Slowly approach that store.

Now, you may or may not stop, you may just slowly approach that store read their hours

the store and stop your car.

Here's an example of me pulling up to my mailbox, so

Notice how I slowly approached my mailbox.

I'm seeing if there's any mail but notice I don't stop.

I keep going.

Don't confuse this with pull over because you can also pull your vehicle over.

Now, when you pull over, it means you're driving and you bring your vehicle to the side of

the road and you stop.

So, you always stop when you pull over.

So if you're in a taxi or an Uber, you might say, oh, you can pull over by the greenhouse.

You can take the car to the side of the road, and stopped by the greenhouse.

Now, we also use this with the police, because if you're driving and you hear a siren behind

you, well, you have to pull,

Over.

You have to bring your car to the side of the road and come to a complete stop.

So here you can see me pulling over next to the mailbox.

I'm coming to a complete stop.

Now, you can also pull in and out of a parking spot or a garage or some enclosed space for

your vehicle.

So when you enter the park,

Um, spot or garage.

You're pulling in, I'm pulling into my garage and when you exit, you're pulling out, you're

pulling out of the parking spot or pulling out of the garage.

So you might say, make sure you look both ways before you pull out, or this is a tight

space, make sure you pull in slowly or carefully.

So here you can see I'm

Pulling into my driveway, which is a confined space.

And now, you can see I'm pulling out of my driveway.

We also use pull in and out for a chair.

So, when you bring the chair closer to the table, you're pulling the chair in.

When you bring your chair farther away from the table, you're pulling your chair out.

So if you're in a busy restaurant,

Restaurant and you're trying to pass by someone you might say, oh, excuse me, can you pull

in your chair so I can pass by.

Can you bring your

chair

closer to the table?

So there's more room for me to pass by or if you're too close to the table, then you

need to pull your chair out and traditionally men will pull out the chair for a woman to

have a seat.

Maybe that's a little old-fashioned.

Is days.

Now, you can also pull out of an event and that means you withdraw from that event.

So you no longer participate and that event can be a race, a competition or even an election.

So let's say there's a competition for a position at your company and there are five people

competing for this one position now.

Maybe Sarah decides to pull out, she pulls out of the competition, which means she's

no longer trying to get that position.

She withdraws from the competition or maybe you're competing in a marathon but you hurt

your leg the week before.

So you have to pull out of the race.

You can also pull something apart, which means

Is something is a hole and then you separate it into individual pieces, which is to pull

apart.

So, something simple like an orange, or a grapefruit that has individual pieces, you

can pull it apart.

You can also pull apart

Electronics, or more complicated things, as well to pull oneself together.

This is a great one, this means to regain your

Bossier, after you're upset worried anxious or in a extreme emotional state and to regain

your composure, just simply means to calm down.

So if you're really agitated, maybe you got pulled over by the police, and your heart

is beating so fast and you're really anxious your friend in the passenger seat, might say

pull

Yourself together, pull yourself together, which is another way to say.

Calm down, regain your composure.

So, go from really anxious to pull yourself together to pull through, means to survive

or to successfully recover from an illness.

So, we use this in a health context.

So let's say that Greg had a major

Ur heart attack but thankfully he pulled through, he survived that major heart attack.

Now let's see.

Greg has not major heart attack and then he's in the hospital, you talked to the doctor

and the first thing you're going to say is is gray going to pull through.

Is he going to pull through?

Is he going to survive?

Is he going to recover?

The doctor might say, I think he'll pull through.

Rue or maybe it's too soon to tell if he'll pull through and finally to pull together,

this is when you work together as a team.

So remember that team had to double their sales by the end of the month.

Will they pull together to pull it off to complete that difficult Challenge and after

By how your team pulled together.

The team who has time to take this on, who has time to take on this new project or this

new client?

And you might say, I can take it on, I can take it on.

So you accept that responsibility for that job, you can also take over a responsibility,

a project a task, which means that you assume responsibility from another person.

So let's say, Julie

He took on the project, but then Julie decided to go on a three-week vacation.

So your boss might ask you to take over.

So the responsibility goes from Julie to you.

Hey Maria.

Can you take over this project while Julie's on vacation or it can be, can you just take

over this project?

So it can be permanent, it becomes your project permanently.

Or it can just be a temporary situation.

While someone is sick or on vacation to take someone out, when you take someone out, it

means you invite them for an activity such as having a meal together or going to the

movies together, but you pay for that activity.

For example, let's say it's your birthday.

Your best friend, your mother, your sister might take you out for dinner, which means

they invite you for dinner, and they also pay for dinner.

That's the important part, or they might take you out for a nice night at the movies and

you go to the movies together or maybe to the amusement park, so you can do other activities

but it's mainly used with meal.

So, maybe your friend says, why would you take raw back?
