50 Important Phrasal Verbs in English

Vanessa: Hi, I'm Vanessa from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com.  

Are you ready to master the top 50  phrasal verbs in English? Let's do it. 

Have you ever been listening to an English  conversation and you just can't figure out  

what they're saying? You understand the  individual words, but the overall meaning  

just doesn't add up. Well, if you have  been putting off learning phrasal verbs,  

today is your day. This lesson will take you from  huh to bring it on in no time. But first, we need  

to talk about what in the world is a phrasal verb.  Well, phrasal verb is a two or three-part verb,  

and in fact, I just used quite a few of them.  Did you notice? Figure out, add up, put off. 

Well, when you use a phrasal verb, there is  a main verb such as put and a second part,  

sometimes a third part as well, which is a  preposition or sometimes it's called a participle.  

When you put these two together, it changes  the meaning of the verb. Well, the verb put,  

I put the comb on the table, means to place  something. But when I say put off, it has a  

completely different meaning. It means to delay  something, to procrastinate. Stop putting off  

learning phrasal verbs. Well, you're here today,  so you're not going to put it off any longer.

to download that free PDF worksheet today. All right, let's get started with our first  

phrasal verb. I'm going to tell you the phrasal  verb, and then I'm going to tell you a sample  

sentence and I want you to guess what you think  that phrasal verb means. It's like a little test.  

You need to use all of your English knowledge,  pull it from your brain, and guess what you think  

it means. Then, I'll tell you the answer. All  right, let's look at number one. To ask around.  

Take a look at this sentence. I haven't seen  your dog. I'm sorry, but I'll ask around in the  

neighborhood and see if anyone else has seen it.  What do you think to ask around means? It means to  

ask multiple people. You can also use this in the  workplace. I'm not sure if my company is hiring,  

but I'll ask around and find out for you. Great. Let's go to number two. To ask someone out. Take  

a look at this sentence. Well, are you going  to ask him out or not? Are you going to ask  

him out or not? What do you think this means?  It means to ask someone on a date. If you've  

ever asked someone on a date, I'm sure you  understand how nerve-racking that can be.  

Let's take a look at another sentence. My  husband asked me out on a date 17 years ago,  

and now we've been married 12 years. Great. All right, let's go to number three. To be in  

control of something. Everyone thinks that  they want to be in control of a business,  

but it's a lot of work. What does this mean?  Think about it for a moment. It means to have  

the power over something. Let's look at another  sentence. I need you to be in control of planning  

the party. I'm too busy right now, but I  could probably help you a little bit. Great. 

Let's look at the next one. To break down. It's  a terrible day for my car to break down. It's  

raining, and my phone just died. What am I going  to do? What do you think this means to break down?  

Means to stop functioning. Let's look at another  sentence. If you don't take care of your things,  

they're going to break down faster. I want  to let you know that we use to break down in  

a general category of machines, often for your  car. Your car can break down. We sometimes use  

this for big machines like, my washing machine  just broke down. What am I going to do for big  

machines like this? It's less common to use this  for your phone. My phone broke down. You'd be  

more likely to just say my phone broke. This  is the nuance that we need with phrasal verbs. 

All right, let's go to the next one. Number  six, to break something down. There's a slight  

difference here, to break something down. Look  at this. The teacher broke down the lesson so  

that we could easily understand. I hope that I'm  doing that now. This means to explain something  

in simple terms, to break down a difficult concept  and make it simpler. A lot of my English students  

feel really overwhelmed when it comes to phrasal  verbs, but it is my job. I hope I'm doing it  

well to break them down, to break down phrasal  verbs and help you to understand them better. 

Number six, to break into something. I forgot my  key so I had to break into my own house. What does  

this mean? It means you enter forcibly. This might  be an enemy breaking into the enemy's territory,  

or it could be a burglar breaking into your  house, hopefully not. But if you forget your key,  

what are you going to have to do? You're going  to have to break into your own house. Let's  

look at another sentence. Where I live here in  the mountains, we have a lot of wild animals,  

bears, raccoons, foxes, all sorts of things, and  if you leave your trash outside, wild animals  

will break into your trash can. Most people in  my neighborhood keep their trash cans inside  

until the trash truck comes and it can be taken  away because no one wants their trash scattered  

all over their lawn because a silly raccoon or  bear got into it and scattered it everywhere.  

Don't let wild animals break into your trash. To break out. We were going to go on vacation  

and then COVID broke out and we had to cancel  it. I think we're not alone. Many people had to  

do this over the last few years. This is talking  about something that spreads. COVID broke out,  

so we can imagine it was contained before  and then it spreads. We can look at this  

in another situation as well. Take a look at this  sentence. When the news breaks out about the war,  

a lot of people are going to protest. We  can imagine that the news about the war is  

contained right now, but when the news breaks  out, a lot of people are going to be upset  

and they're going to protest. This is talking  about something spreading. It could be a virus,  

it could be news, but something is being led out. Let's go to the next one. To bring someone or  

something down. Well, we could say, I hate to  bring down the mood of this party, but the cake  

just fell off the table and now it's ruined.  Can you guess what this means? I hate to bring  

down the mood of the party. This means to make  someone unhappy or lower the mood. Well, we could  

even say this. My coworker just really brings me  down. She's always unhappy and complaining about  

something. Have you ever talked to someone like  this and they just never have anything positive  

to say? You might be feeling good about your day  and then after you talk with them, they really  

bring you down. Try not to be that person in  someone else's life. Try to bring other people up. 

Let's look at the next one. To call around.  I have some extra tickets to the concert so  

I'm going to try to call around and see if  any of my friends want them. Do you remember  

the first phrasal verb we talked about, to  ask around? To call around is very similar.  

It means that you are calling multiple people.  Just like ask around is to ask multiple people,  

here this person is calling around, calling  multiple friends to see if they want to get  

the free concert tickets. The other week, I was  at the mechanic and I needed a new part from my  

car and the mechanic said, "Well, I don't have the  part with me right now, but I'll call around and  

see if any other mechanic has it and then I'll let  you know." Beautiful way to use this phrasal verb. 

To call back. My doctor called and left a  message. I need to call him back. What do you  

think this means? Well, it simply means to return  a phone call. If the doctor calls you and leaves a  

message, well, it's a good idea to call them back.  If you have to speak in English for your job and  

you often speak on the phone, this is a wonderful  phrasal verb to use. When you pick up the phone,  

you could say, "I'm sorry, I'm in a meeting  right now, but I can call you back at 11:00."  

Beautiful, great phrasal verb. To cheer up. I brought you these  

flowers to cheer you up. Am I trying to bring  you down? Nope, instead I'm trying to cheer  

you up. This means to make someone happier.  I hope that my English lessons cheer you up. 

To cheer on. Does this mean you're  standing on someone and cheering, go,  

go, go? No. To cheer on, take a look  at this sentence. Let's cheer on our  

team. This means to encourage or support  someone. We often use this for a team,  

but you can even use this for your friends and  family. My friend is running a marathon next  

week and I'm going to stand at the finish  line to cheer her on. Oh, that's so nice. 

To clean up. I'm trying to teach my sons to  clean up after themselves. It is a work in  

progress. This means to tidy something. If there  are a lot of toys on the ground, you need to  

clean them up at least by the end of the day. I'm  curious about you, do you clean up your house at  

the end of the day? Let me know in the comments. The next one is a fun one. To come across as. It's  

got three parts, come, across, as. Take a look at  this sentence. If you don't want to come across as  

rude, you should smile when you meet people. This  is talking about the impression that you give,  

to give a specific impression. You don't want  to have a rude impression. What should you do?  

You should smile. You don't want to come  across as rude. This is another one that  

you can use in the workplace. I want to come  across as professional, so I'm going to wear  

my best suit to the interview. I want to appear  professional. I want that impression to be, she  

is a professional person. I want to come across as  professional, so I'm going to wear my best suit. 

To come apart. Oh no! I put my favorite sweater  in the washer and now it's coming apart.  

Do you think that this means I'm very happy about  the situation? This means to separate. My sweater  

is coming apart, or you could say, be careful  with that old book, it's coming apart and the  

pages might fall out. Be very careful please. To come forward. They're asking for donors and  

volunteers to come forward to help with disaster  relief. This means they want someone to take  

responsibility. This could also be if someone did  something bad. Take a look at this sentence. The  

police are asking that the vandals, this means  the burglars or somebody who spray painted on a  

building. The police are asking that the vandals  come forward and repair the damage that they did.  

They want the vandals to claim responsibilities,  say, "Sorry, I did it. I'll try to fix it. Please  

just don't send me to jail." They're asking that  the vandals come forward. It's not an easy thing  

to do, but often it's the right thing to do. To come from. Where does the inspiration for  

your art come from? This is asking where does it  originate from, the beginning, the source of your  

inspiration. When you are learning English,  someone might ask you, "Why are you learning  

English?" You could use this great phrasal verb  and say, "Well, my love of English comes from my  

teacher Vanessa," or you might say, "I visited  New York and I realized I don't know as much  

English as I want to, so really, my motivation  came from that trip. I realized I needed to put  

in more effort." That's what you're doing now. To count on. I know I can count on my neighbor  

when I need help. This means to rely on someone,  to depend on someone. I can count on my neighbor.  

Whenever I need some extra help, I can just go  to her house and she will be there in a minute.  

This is also a great phrasal verb to use in the  workplace even in an interview. You could say,  

"You can count on me. I will always finish  the project on time because I have great time  

management skills. You can count on me." Great. The next phrasal verb is two for one,  

to cross off and to cross out. Take a look at  this. I have crossed off, or I have crossed out  

everything on my to-do list already and it's  only noon. This means that you draw a line  

through something signifying that it's finished.  You're done with that task. I already crossed off  

everything on my to-do list. It feels great. To cut something out. If you cut out these  

sections of the report, I think it will flow  better. What do you think this means? Well,  

you are removing pieces of something.  If you remove this piece and this piece,  

the entire report will just feel better. But, we  can also use this in a physical way. Let's imagine  

that my son is chewing some gum and somehow it  gets stuck in my hair. Oh no. Well, we could  

say now I need to cut out the gum. I'm not going  to cut all of my hair. I'm just going to try to  

cut the most minimal amount possible. I need to  cut out the gum. I hope that this never happens. 

To do something over. If you make a mistake,  it's okay. You just have to do it over until  

it's right. This means to repeat something.  Usually, this is a fixed phrase. Do it over. A  

teacher might say that to you. Your homework was  so bad, you need to do it over. My dog just ate  

my homework, I need to do it over. Because in all  of these situations, we already have the context.  

Your dog ate your homework, that's a bummer so you  need to do your homework over, but we don't need  

to repeat homework. You can just say do it over. Let's take a look at one more sentence. I put the  

wrong ingredients in the cake. Now I need to do  it over. You have the context already, the cake,  

so you can say do it over. You could say, I put  the wrong ingredients in the cake. Now I need  

to do the cake over or do the recipe over, but  it sounds a little bit clunky and uncomfortable  

because we're just repeating the topic twice. I  recommend using this as a fixed expression. I put  

the wrong ingredients in the cake and now I need  to do it over. That's all right, I'll do it again. 

To do away with something. We just need to do  away with all papers and go digital. This might  

be something that's happening in a company where  you work. You're trying to do away with papers  

and go digital. This means to stop something. To  do away with papers. You're going to scan in the  

papers. You're going to try to make them digital  in some way so that you stop using paper. Pretty  

good idea, or maybe in your family, you might  decide, we decided to do away with gifts. Instead,  

we will purchase experiences to have together as  a family. Also, not a bad idea. Do away with gifts  

and just have wonderful experiences together. To dress up. I decided to dress up for my date  

so I wore a new dress. This means to wear nicer  clothes than usual. You dress up. For example,  

it's a good idea to dress up for a job interview.  You want to come across as professional. 

To drop out of. I dropped out of medical school  when I realized how hard it was. This means  

that you quit some program. You might say, "My  grandparents both dropped out of high school so  

that they could spend more time on their family  farm." It was kind of necessary back then. Do you  

have any family members who dropped out of school  so that they could start working because their  

family needed it? Let me know in the comments. To fall through. No, this is not falling. Take a  

look at this sentence. Our plans fell through when  the flight was canceled, so we decided to take a  

road trip instead. This means that something  ends up not happening. Something fails. There  

is a kind of indirectness about this phrasal verb.  Our plans fell through. You're not blaming anyone.  

You're not saying, "When the airline canceled  our appointment, those awful people..." Well,  

no, you're just saying our plans fell through.  Take a look at the next sentence, which is even  

more indirect. Our engagement fell through, so  the wedding was canceled. You're not blaming  

anyone. You're just really indirectly saying,  "Well, the engagement ended up not happening.  

He proposed. I said yes. Then after some time  we broke up," but I'm not really blaming anyone  

here. I'm indirectly saying our engagement  fell through, so we canceled the wedding. 

To follow through. It was a hard project,  but she followed through and got it done.  

What do you think this means? This means to keep  doing something until it's finished. Right now,  

we are just over halfway through these 50 phrasal  verbs, I want you to follow through and finish  

this entire lesson. You can do it. Fill your brain  with more wonderful phrasal verbs so you can use  

them in daily conversation. Let's take a look  at another sentence. He always has big promises,  

but he never follows through. This is a really  bad character trait and definitely not something  

that you want someone to say about you. You  should say you're going to do something and  

you should follow through, or you could use this  as an apology. Sorry, I know I said that I was  

going to help you this weekend and I just didn't  follow through. I'm really sorry. I got sick. I  

had so much on my plate. I really need to work  on following through. Thanks for forgiving me. 

To follow up. It's a good idea to follow up  an interview with a thank you letter or a nice  

email. What do you think this means? To pursue  something further. You're doing an action after  

the main action. You had an interview and then  you follow up the interview with a nice email  

or a thank you card. Take a look at this. She  said she had something to tell me, so I need  

to follow up with her later. She didn't tell me  what it is, but I'm really curious. I need to  

follow up with her later and ask her, "What were  you going to tell me? Please, I need to know." 

To get away. It's been such a busy week, I can't  wait to get away this weekend to the beach.  

This means that you are leaving a stressful  situation. You're going on vacation. In some way,  

you are getting away from your stresses.  You could say, "I really need to get away,  

but I'm just so busy. I don't think I'll have  any time for a vacation. I need to get away now." 

Now, if we add one little word, it can completely  change the meaning. To get away with something.  

We just said to get away means to leave on  vacation, but what about to get away with?  

Look at this sentence. He stole money from  the company, but he won't get away with it.  

They'll catch him at some point. This means to  do something, usually something wrong. It doesn't  

have to be very wrong, but to do something  wrong without being noticed or punished.  

He thinks he can steal money from  the company and get away with it,  

I don't think so. Let's take a look at a less  serious situation. You could probably get away  

with leaving work early, but I don't recommend  it. They might catch you. In this situation,  

you're not stealing money from the company, but  you're not supposed to leave work early. You could  

probably get away with it if no one calls you or  asks for you. But in the end, I don't recommend  

it even though you could get away with it. To get something across. Are we talking about a  

bridge to go across a bridge? Not exactly. It's  a little more figurative. Take a look at this  

sentence. She is such a great speaker that she  has no problem getting her point across. Here,  

we're talking about communication, to communicate.  She can explain difficult concepts and make them  

simple. No matter what she's talking about, the  other person can easily understand. She can get  

her point across. We often insert in the middle  of this phrasal verb similar words to get the  

point across, to get the idea across, to get the  message across, to get my thoughts across. Here,  

we're talking about communicating something. All right, let's go to the next phrasal verb.  

To get back. I love vacation, but I'm always happy  to get back home too. This means to return, to get  

back home. Take a look at this. I left early  from work. I thought I could get away with it,  

and then my boss called and asked if I could get  back to work and finish my project. I guess I have  

to return to work and finish my project. It's just  the way it goes. At least, I didn't get fired. 

To get on. We got on the ferry to go to the  other side of the lake. This phrasal verb means  

to board some kind of transportation. You can  get on a plane, get on a train, get on a bus,  

get on a ferry. Let's take a look at another  sentence. Oh no! I got on the wrong train.  

What should I do? If this has ever happened  to you, it can be a little bit of panic mode,  

especially if you're in a different country. All right, let's go to the next phrasal verb.  

To get over. I'm getting over a bad cold and  I still don't feel that great. This means to  

recover from something. It could be an illness,  I'm getting over a bad cold, or it could be a  

little bit more sentimental. I'm still getting  over the heartbreak of our breakup. I don't know  

what I can do to feel better. I'm getting over  the heartbreak. When you break up with someone,  

you want to recover. You want to move on with your  life and we can use this phrasal verb. I need to  

get over this heartbreak, but it's so hard. All right, let's go to the next phrasal verb.  

To get together. I love to get together with  friends and family during the holidays. This  

means to spend time together. Let's get  together while you're in town. I'll take  

you to my favorite coffee shop. Let's  get together. We'll spend time together. 

To give away. I don't want to give away the  ending, but that movie was fantastic. Here,  

we're talking about something that is hidden  and being revealed. I don't want to reveal the  

ending of that movie, but it was fantastic,  let me just tell you. We can use this in a  

similar but slightly different way. Take a  look at this sentence. After I broke my leg,  

I decided to give away my roller skates. Well,  this means that I am not selling them, but I  

am giving them for free. There is an implication  in this phrasal verb to give away something that  

means for free. You do not need to say I gave away  my roller skates for free. It's already implied. 

You can say for free if you want,  but if you just say, "Oh yeah,  

I'm giving away my couch." People will know your  couch is free. You could say, "I'm giving away  

my couch for free." That's fine, it's a little  more, I don't know, just emphasize for free,  

but overall, you can say, "I'm giving away my  roller skates. I'm giving away my couch," and it  

means for free. Lovely way to use phrasal verbs. Let's go to the next one. To give back. I borrowed  

a coat from my cousin for our ski trip, and now I  need to give it back. This simply means to return  

something. You could say, "Give that bone back  to the dog and he'll stop barking. Please give  

that bone back. I can't stand the noise anymore." Let's go to the next one. To go after something.  

Does this mean second comes after first, third  comes after second, like in order? Not exactly.  

Let's take this a little more figuratively.  Look at this sentence. You should always go  

after your dreams. Oh, how lovely. This means  that you should try to achieve something. I'm  

going after the top prize and I hope I'll win. You  are trying to achieve something. I'm going to go  

after that position as manager and I won't stop  until I get it. You're trying to achieve that. 

Now, here's a tricky one. We just  said go after, what about go against?  

Look at this. I'm going against what everyone is  telling me I should do and I'm following my heart.  

I'm going against. This means you are opposing  what everyone else is telling you to do, and  

instead, you're following your heart. This is not  easy to do. It's not always right, but sometimes  

it is right. It's not easy to go against what  other people are telling you to do. Take a look  

at this. If you go against the company policy,  you will have to face the consequences. You have  

to know what they are. Don't go against them. To go ahead. Yes, we have a lot of phrasal verbs  

with go. There's, in fact, two more after this.  To go ahead. Look at this sentence. Sorry for  

interrupting you, go ahead with your story. This  means proceed with your story, continue going.  

Let's look at this one. Do you want me to go ahead  with the plan we discussed? Do you want me to  

proceed with the plan we discussed? Do you want  me to go ahead with the plan we discussed? This  

is perfectly acceptable to use in the workplace.  In fact, I imagine it is used all the time. Let's  

go ahead with our plan and I'll see everyone  tomorrow and we'll discuss how it's going. 

To go back. I had a great summer vacation, but  I'm ready to go back to school. This is often a  

fixed phrase, to go back to school, and it means  to return to school. It's the end of the summer  

and it's time to go back to school, or you could  say, "I love visiting the mountains. I am ready  

to go back at any time." You want to return to the  mountains. It's a nice, calm and peaceful place. 

To go over. Are you going over a bridge? Take  a look at this sentence. I need to go over the  

contract before I sign it. I highly recommend  this. I need to go over the contract. This means  

you need to review something, usually to clarify  some details. I need to go over the contract,  

look at all of the details and make sure  you know exactly what you're signing,  

or take a look at this. I have some questions  about the project. Can we go over it together?  

This means you are reviewing something to  clarify the details with someone else. Can  

we go over this together? You might even hear  a teacher say this in the classroom. I want you  

to finish your homework, and tomorrow we'll  go over the answers together. You're going  

to review them in detail together. Great. To grow apart. We were best friends when we  

were children, but as we got older, we just grew  apart. This means that there's some distance in  

your relationship. You're not as close as you  used to be and it's something that sometimes  

naturally happens with relationships. If you have  a long-term relationship with someone you know,  

if you don't spend quality time together, you will  grow apart. It's just a fact. You need to spend  

quality time together in order to stay close. To grow into something. I bought this jacket  

a size too big because I know that eventually  my son will grow into it. Well, my son is five.  

My other son is two. They will absolutely be  getting bigger so I can buy clothes that are a  

little bit bigger and I know that they will grow  into them. This means that they will become big  

enough to fit in them. If I buy a size six or  size seven clothes for my five-year-old, well,  

he can wear them next year or the next year, and  that's all right. Or you might say in a kind of  

funny way, "This puppy's paws are so big. Do  you think that she'll grow into them?" They  

seem kind of disproportionate. Her paws are  so big. Of course, as the dog grows bigger,  

her paws will seem more normal sized, but that's  something kind of funny that you can say about  

a small animal or even a baby, "Oh, his ears are  so big. Do you think that he'll grow into them?"  

They seem disproportionate now, but as his head  gets bigger, it'll be fine. He'll grow into them. 

Another phrasal verb with grow is to grow  out of something. He grew out of all of his  

clothes and now we need to buy new ones. This  seems to happen many times a year with my kids.  

They get too big for their clothes. Of course,  it's natural for children to grow out of their  

clothes. We can use this in a more figurative  way as well. You could say she has grown out  

of her role in the company so she's leaving for  a more challenging job. This means that doesn't  

mean that her body has gotten bigger, it means  that her capacity, her mental capacity is much  

more now and the job just isn't as challenging, so  she's going to leave to go to a more challenging  

job. She's grown out of the role and now she's  going to go on to bigger and better things. 

To hand out something. I volunteered to hand out  water and snacks at the marathon. This means that  

you're distributing something. You're not giving  your hand, but your hand is probably physically  

moving out towards someone. I'm handing out  water. I'm handing out snacks. Here in the U.S.,  

most people hand out candy on Halloween and most  kids love this. They'll go door to door and say,  

"Trick or treat. Give me something good to eat."  All of the neighbors will open the door and say,  

"Oh yes, sweetie, here you go. Happy  Halloween." They enjoy handing out candy. 

To hold someone or something back. When  my boss told me that I got a promotion,  

I had to hold back my excitement until I left  his office. Then I said, "Yes!" This means that  

you are stopping something. I had to hold back my  excitement. I wanted to scream with excitement,  

but instead, I was professional. I  want to come across as professional,  

so I tried to hold back my level of excitement. Let's take a look at another situation. Let's  

imagine you're in the grocery store and someone  says something rude to you. Well, you could say,  

"I wanted to say something to the rude man,  but my husband held me back." This could be  

physically stopping you from getting aggressive  or it could just be, he looks at you and gives  

you a face like, don't worry about it. Just let  it pass. Don't get worked up about it. He's kind  

of emotionally holding you back, just trying to  help you feel steady. He held me back and I said,  

"Okay, it's going to be okay. Forget about  what that rude man said." There's different  

ways to use hold back to mean stop. To let someone down. My parents always  

believed in me, so I never wanted to let them  down. What do you think this means? It means  

simply to disappoint someone. I don't want to  disappoint my parents. I don't want to let them  

down. This has a really heavy, emotional feeling.  If you feel like someone really disappointed you,  

you can use this phrasal verb and say, "Hey, you  know what? When you lied to me, you really let  

me down." Or we could switch this and say, "When  you lied to me, I really felt let down. Something  

happened and I don't know if I can trust you now." All right, let's go to the next phrasal verb.  

To look up to someone. My parents are  both hard workers and I look up to them.  

Are they tall people, I look up to them? Not  really, but they are figuratively tall people.  

We could say, "I respect them. I look up to  them." Now, it can be a little bit tricky  

because sometimes people that we look up to can  let us down and that really hurts. When someone  

we respect disappoints us, that can hurt even  more than just when any old person disappoints  

us. Make sure you're careful who you look up to. Are you ready? Drum roll. Final phrasal verb is  

to point out something. I would like to point  out that my performance has led to an increase  

in revenue this quarter. You are indicating  something specifically. I would like to point  

out that my performance has helped our company.  You're kind of nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Hey,  

I should get a raise. I want to let you  know that I've done a good job. I want  

to point out that my performance has helped the  company. Let's look at another sentence. Can you  

point out your neighborhood on this map? Here,  we're talking about a physical indication. Can  

you point out your neighborhood? Which one  are you talking about? This is indicating  

something specifically and physically. Great. How did you do? Did I get the point across with  

all these phrasal verbs? Well, don't let me down.  Now, it's your turn to follow through. Let me know  

in the comments who is someone who you look up  to, who is someone who you respect? Let me know
