Hello. This is Jack from To Fluency - and
in this English lesson, we're going to have
0

a look at the phrasal verb 'put away'.
1

00:08
Now, I used this phrasal verb in one of my
social media updates. And you can follow me
2
8430

00:14
on Facebook, G+, and Twitter to get these
updates.
3

00:19
But, in the video, I used this phrasal verb
and what I'm going to do is show you this
4
19140
5449
00:24
now and then, talk about what it means and
show you more examples.
5
24589
5371
00:29
So, here is the video:
6
29960

00:34
"But, I've started to use it for electronics,
so I can use my tripod for my smartphone and
7
34740
7700
00:42
then when I finish using it, I can easily
put it away here."
8
42440
7869
00:50
In the video, I said, "So, I can use my tripod
for my smartphone and then when I finish using
9
50309
6180
00:56
it, I can easily put it away here."
10
56489
3120
00:59
So, in the picture, you can see this organizer.
And this organizer goes over the door. And
11
59609
8051
01:07
in the picture, I am putting the tripod away.
12
67660
3720
01:11
So, put away means 'to put in the designated
place for storage'. So, the tripod has this
13
71380
8100
01:19
designated place and you put it away when
you put it back for storage.
14
79480
6500
01:25
So, let's have a look at some more examples
now:
15
85980
4290
01:30
"Could you help me put away the shopping?"
So, on your screen, you can see different
16
90270
7160
01:37
food items. And when (after) you go shopping,
you put the shopping away. So, you put cheese
17
97430
5890
01:43
in the fridge; you put the past in the cupboard;
you put the peppers and the meat in the fridge
18
103320
6500
01:49
too. So, things have designated places where
you can store them.
19
109820
5900
01:55
Now, this one is for parents. "My son never
puts his toys away." He is very young at the
20
115720
7260
02:02
moment - so, he doesn't put his toys away.
But we're going to teach him how to do this
21
122980
5669
02:08
soon.
22
128649
1671
02:10
And then, one more example which is using
the phrasal verb but in a different way: "Let's
23
130320
6000
02:16
put away $100 a month" So, this means to save.
So, to put money away means to save money.
24
136320
9660
02:25
Now my question for you is this: Do you put
away your electronics after using them? Do
25
145980
6440
02:32
you put away your electronics after using
them?
26

Leave you answers below this video, thanks
for watching, and I'll see you next time!
