Learn English about Common Movie Phrasal Verbs- Phrasal Verbs Movies

Hello everybody. Welcome back to the English  Danny channel phrasal verb challenge.  

Today I'm going to teach you five popular phrasal  verbs related to movies. Remember, a phrasal verb  

is a phrase including a verb and at least one  other word such as a preposition, noun, or adverb  

and it works together as a unit. Learning phrasal  verbs is useful because they are very common in  

English, so the more you know the better it  is for your listening and speaking skills.  

Our first verbal phrase related to movies is  catch a movie. We use this phrase to express  

the idea of watching a movie in a relaxed informal  setting with friends. So you might ask your friend  

a question like: hey you want to catch a movie  later? Or if you're telling somebody a story  

about the past you could say: I caught a movie  with my girlfriend last night. Catch a movie  

has a meaning similar to watch a movie with  a friend. The second phrase is: want to see.  

We use this phrase to indicate whether we have  any particular desire to see a movie, or a kind  

of movie. So, if someone asks you if you want to  catch a movie you might say: Sure, I want to see  

the new Marvel movie. Or you could say: I  want to see a sci-fi movie. Or: I want to see  

a romantic comedy. Is there a movie out now  that you want to see? Alright, halfway through.  

Our third movie phrase is: to be about. Now, we  use this phrase to ask and answer questions about  

the plot of a movie. What happens in the movie?  What is the story in the movie? What do the  

characters do? So, one way we get into these  kind of questions is we ask: what is the movie  

about? Or what was the movie about? So, that's  asking it in the past tense. What was it about  

to answer? You could say it's about a man looking  for a lost treasure on a faraway island. Or you  

could say something like: it was about a couple  who tried to build a relationship during wartime.  

Now our fourth phrase is somewhat related to the  previous phrase. The fourth one is: happen next.  

When we tell a story in order sometimes people  will want to know what happens next. That means:  

what is the next event in the sequence. If someone  asks you what happened next, they're usually  

interested in knowing more about the story. So,  you could tell them: oh here's what happened  

next. Now, here's our last verbal phrase for  movies and this is one that you'll usually  

use after seeing a movie: think about. This is  a phrase we use to ask for somebody's opinion.  

What did you think about the  movie? What is your opinion?  

I liked it. I hated it. I thought it was good. It  was the worst movie I've ever seen. These are all  

examples of things you could use to answer: what  did you think about it? You could use this verbal  

phrase to ask for people's opinions on almost any  topic. What do you think about blank? You fill in  

the blank with almost any topic you want to know  about. So you could use a noun. You could say,  

what do you think about soccer? What do you think  about our university? What do you think about  

learning English? What do you think about this  video? Post your comments below telling me what  

you thought about these verbal phrases, but before  you go I've got a bonus phrase. Now, this isn't  

a verbal phrase, but it is something that gets  used a lot these days. And, the phrase is: no  

spoilers. We use this phrase when someone else has  seen a movie or a tv show or something like that,  

but we haven't seen it yet. We don't want to  know what happened. We don't want to know what  

happened in the movie to spoil the plot. So we  want to be surprised, and we'll say no spoilers.  

Meaning: don't tell me too much about what  happened. Don't spoil my experience of the movie.
