Let's Learn English Phrasal Verbs about Socializing- Let's Hang Out!

Hello everyone and welcome to our next  video in the English Danny phrasal verb  

challenge. In today's video we will learn phrasal  verbs about socializing. Let's get started!

There are five phrasal verbs we will talk about  today. The five phrasal verbs about socializing we  

will learn today are: hang out, catch up, stick  up for, hear from, and run into. Let's begin.  

Our first phrasal verb today is: hang  out. Have you ever heard this before?  

To hang out means to spend time  together doing nothing specific.  

It just means to be together with your  friends. For example, we might say  

let's hang out this weekend. This means maybe  I don't know what we will do, I just want to  

spend some time together. And here we see another  example, if we wanted to ask a question: hey  

want to hang out this afternoon? This  means let's spend some time together.

Our next phrasal verb today is: catch up. To  catch up means to talk to someone about what  

has happened in your life since you saw them  last. For example, if I have not seen my friend  

in one year when we see each other we will  catch up and talk about what has happened  

since we saw each other one year ago. What  has happened in the last year? For example,  

it has been so long since we have seen each  other. We need to catch up soon. This means  

I want to hear about what's happened in your  life since i saw you last time. Let's catch up!

Here we see another example from a Netflix  show. We can all catch up. This means  

we can all get together and talk about what  has happened since we were together last time.

Our third phrasal verb today is stick up for.  To stick up for someone means to defend them,  

or more specifically to speak in support of  someone. Especially when no one else will  

so. If you hear someone saying unkind or  mean things about your friend and you say:  

hey don't say that. Don't do that, that's not  true. Then you are sticking up for your friend.  

For example, I can't believe she was being so  mean to me. Thank you for sticking up for me,  

you're a true friend. This means, in this  situation someone was saying mean things about  

you and your friend said: hey how dare you! Don't  do that! Oh, thank you for sticking up for me.  

Here we see an example: a woman  saying you leave her alone.  

She's talking about her friend sitting down  and here maybe someone has said something mean  

about her friend and she is sticking up  for her. You leave her alone! Stick up for.

Our fourth phrasal verb about socializing is:  hear from. To hear from someone means to be  

contacted by them. So if they call you, or text  you, or email you then you have heard from them.  

For example, I haven't heard from her in weeks. I  hope she's okay. This means she has not contacted  

me in any way in several weeks. So I haven't heard  from her. And here we see a scene from a tv show:  

I haven't heard from you all day. This means you  have not messaged me or called me or talked to  

me in any way, all day. I haven't heard from  you. Our last phrasal verb today is: run into.  

To run into someone means to see someone that  you know in public unplanned. For example,  

I ran into my old teacher at the supermarket  today. This means I wasn't planning on seeing  

my old teacher, but I went to the supermarket  and there's my teacher. I ran into them.  

So for example: we see here two young  friends who run into each other in  

public and then run to see each other. So  let's review. Our phrasal verbs today were:  

hang out, which means to spend time  together doing nothing specific.

Catch up: which means to talk to each other about  

what has happened since you  saw each other last time.

Stick up for: which means to defend someone.

Hear from: which means to be contacted  by someone. And run into, which means to  

see someone you know in public, unplanned.  Okay everyone that's it for today's video
