makeup, it's all good. And another way we can use this word make up is as a phrasal
8
60359
7000
01:07
verb to make something up to someone. So if I make something up to someone that generally
9
67720
6820
01:14
means I'm compensating for something bad that I have done so let's say I missed my friend's
10
74540
8600
01:23
birthday, I forgot to call my friends and I was like hey man, I'm really sorry, let
11
83350
4700
01:28
me make it up to you by buying you dinner, let me make it up to you. That means that
12
88050
5130
01:33
I'm trying to make the situation better. Another way to use make up would be to invent.
13
93180
7000
01:41
So let's say someone is telling you a story that you think that maybe they are inventing
14
101140
5730
01:46
the story or even lying you could say hey, are you making that up? Are you inventing
15
106870
7000
01:54
that story? Is that real? So that is to make something up, to invent something.
16

Ok, let's move on to make out. So one really common way to use the verb to make out would
17
120740
7000
02:09
be to kiss and make out with someone. You see this on a lot of American TV shows, people
18
129119
7000
02:17
are making out which just means that they are kissing each other, sometimes it has sexual
19
137409
6651
02:24
connotations, you never know, but that is one way to use it as a verb, to make out with
20
144060
6170
02:30
someone. Have you made out with anyone recently? Another way would be to see if someone was
21
150230
7000
02:37
successful in whatever they were doing. So if a friend of yours had a job interview and
22
157469
6791
02:44
he was really nervous about it, afterwards you could say, "hey buddy how did you make
23
164260
4459
02:48
out at the job interview?" This means how did you go, was it successful? was it good?
24
168719
6481
02:55
was it bad? How did you make out at the job interview?
25
175200
3890
02:59
And another way to use this phrasal verb would be when somebody explains something as kind
26
179090
5310
03:04
of hard, but it wasn't really that hard. I can say, you know it wasn't as hard as he
27
184400
5769
03:10
made it out to be, or it wasn't as difficult as that guy made it out to be. So that means
28
190169
6880
03:17
that you did something that someone told you would be very difficult but through your experience,
29
197049
7000
03:24
it wasn't really that difficult. It's not as hard as people make it out to be. English
30
204340
5819
03:30
is not as hard as you may make it out to be, I hope.
