Alternative Ways to use the Work MAKE - Common Phrasal Verbs

Hey, what's up guys? Welcome to another episode of RealLife TV. I'm Chad, I'm here hanging

out in the jungle here, we got a wild animal just hanging out there. Say what's up to Portala,

one of Justin's cats, and today I'm going to present you guys with and awesome lesson,

I'm going to give you guys some new vocabulary and that is some alternative ways to use the

word MAKE. Aww Yeah!!

So the first word I'm going to teach you guys is MAKE UP. So you guys probably already know

the word makeup when it's used for painting your face like women wear makeup.

Some men wear makeup but it's not as common, but hey, we don't judge, if you are a man who wears

makeup, it's all good. And another way we can use this word make up is as a phrasal

verb to make something up to someone. So if I make something up to someone that generally

means I'm compensating for something bad that I have done so let's say I missed my friend's

birthday, I forgot to call my friends and I was like hey man, I'm really sorry, let

me make it up to you by buying you dinner, let me make it up to you. That means that

I'm trying to make the situation better. Another way to use make up would be to invent.

So let's say someone is telling you a story that you think that maybe they are inventing

the story or even lying you could say hey, are you making that up? Are you inventing

that story? Is that real? So that is to make something up, to invent something.

Ok, let's move on to make out. So one really common way to use the verb to make out would

be to kiss and make out with someone. You see this on a lot of American TV shows, people

are making out which just means that they are kissing each other, sometimes it has sexual

connotations, you never know, but that is one way to use it as a verb, to make out with

someone. Have you made out with anyone recently? Another way would be to see if someone was

successful in whatever they were doing. So if a friend of yours had a job interview and

he was really nervous about it, afterwards you could say, "hey buddy how did you make

out at the job interview?" This means how did you go, was it successful? was it good?

was it bad? How did you make out at the job interview?

And another way to use this phrasal verb would be when somebody explains something as kind

of hard, but it wasn't really that hard. I can say, you know it wasn't as hard as he

made it out to be, or it wasn't as difficult as that guy made it out to be. So that means

that you did something that someone told you would be very difficult but through your experience,

it wasn't really that difficult. It's not as hard as people make it out to be. English

is not as hard as you may make it out to be, I hope.
