Okay, let's get started with number one.

You couldn't make it something.

You couldn't make it up.

You couldn't make it up.

To make something up means

to invent something especially a story.

So, for example, you'll hear commentators say

if something amazing happens in a sporting event,

you couldn't make this up

or you couldn't make it up.

Number two, this is in an exam.

Once you have finished,

come to the front and hand it something.

Once you have finished, come to the front and hand it in.

Number three, he looks something to you.

He looks up to you.

He looks up to you.

Now if you look up to someone,

it means that you admire them,

it means that you have respect for that person.

A lot of the time younger siblings look up

to their older brother or sister.

Number four, I was so tired when I got home,

I just passed something on the sofa.

I was so tired when I got home,

I just passed out on the sofa.

To pass out means to go to sleep very quickly.

It's when you are exhausted,

when you are knackered

and you just pass out, you just fall asleep really quickly.

It can also mean to faint as well.

So, to pass out can mean to faint.

Number five, guess who I ran something at the park.

Guess who I ran into at the park.

To run into somebody means

that you meet them by chance.

You don't arrange to meet them,

instead you're just at the park

and you say oh hi, hey.

And that's running into somebody.

Number six, give it something to her.

Give it back to her.

Give it back to her.

To give something back to someone means

to return something to someone

and parents use give it back a lot

because children often snatch things

from other children.

And then the parent says come on,

give it back to them, give it back to them.

Number seven.

Don't bring that something again.

Don't bring that up again.

To bring something up means

to mention something

and if you don't say bring that up again,

you're saying please don't talk about this anymore.

Don't talk about that subject,

don't talk about what happened anymore.

Don't bring it up again.

Number eight, don't throw that something.

Don't throw that away.

To throw something away means

to put something in the trash or the bin.

And to be honest, I love throwing things away.

We have too much stuff,

so I like throwing stuff away.

But you don't just throw stuff away,

you can get rid of stuff as well

which is another phrasal verb,

to get rid of something.

You can donate it.

You can give it to somebody

but to throw something away means

to put it in the trash or the bin.

Number nine.

Let's go the game and cheer her something.

Let's go the game and cheer her on.

Let's go the game and cheer her on.

To cheer someone on means to support somebody.

So you an go to somebody's competitor game

and cheer them on.

Number 10.

You need to get something it.

You need to get over it.

To get over something means to start feeling good again

after something bad has happened.

For example, if somebody got fired at work

but it's been a month since it happened

and they're still complaining about it,

you can say come on, it's now time to get over it.

Get over what happened

and to find a new job.

We can also use get over

to talk about getting over an illness.

I need to get over this cold.

I need to recover from this cold.
