10 PHRASAL VERBS using the prepositions OFF, ON, OVER, UP

all right james from engvid meet you can grow reading sci-fi or Scientific American 10 things coming to you in the future speaking of coming to you I would like to talk about phrasal verbs that we can use in the business environment whether it is an interview or just working with colleagues or coworkers I'm gonna work on seven of them with you first we'll talk about what a phrasal verb is then we'll talk about the prepositions that we're going to use and how they're changed by the verbs we'll add and how you can use them in a business environment you ready let's go to the board so I'm sorry II says on or off this hasn't really helped us right now because we're not going to work with them I want to read something to you and then we're going to insert later on what the appropriate phrasal verb will be once you learn what they are a simple conversation hey Jay this is e he's talking hey Jay I have to cancel the ATM is 8:00 I have to cancel the 8:00 a.m. meeting tomorrow James why what's up E mr. e the boss asked me to accept more work on the Helen Helen Williams account James yeah she wanted me to review it in detail with you mr. e we were supposed to look for information online about the important parts of the accounts and contact her to give her the information later James I heard you two don't have a good relationship he well that would have required you to get the right information from the right people sounds okay nothing to change but when we speak as English people to one another we will use either idioms or phrasal verbs to contain the same amount of information but in a smaller recognizable pattern of word pattern and a pattern can be anything like oh my shirt how the red and white goes means something that is repeated and because it's repeated it's easily understood all right so we're doing this we've done the sentence on the board and I'm going to go right now and we're going to get ready teach you the prepositions and the phrasal verbs so that we can put them in the right place at the end of this lesson are you ready let's go so we did all these beautiful sentences and you don't know why we're gonna go to the board and figure it out by looking at the phrasal verbs and prepositions so why don't we start off with what is a preposition a preposition I look at it as pre-positioned is we've designated or we say a preposition tells us where something is gonna go we use it in sentences to tell us how where and why right preposition and because of its position it gives us an indication between the verb and the subject what they're about right so I go to the store right direction what's another we can say for a preposition for this is for you you will receive it using that preposition tells us how how the verb and the object of the subject are working out now why are we doing this when we use phrasal verbs we take prepositions plus verbs the verb still keeps most of its meaning though as you change the preposition it changes the meaning of what when you add a preposition it changes the general meaning of the two coming together got it so what I'm going to do today is I'm going to kind of give you a general outline of what the prepositions I'm working with today mean and you'll see how when we add it to the verb how it changes it and then when we go back to our sentences on the board you'll go oh my gosh this is how it works and this is why it means this you're ready let's go to the board first thing we should look up is the preposition off when somebody says off you probably know it most commonly from turn off the lights it's a movement away or detaching now I'm not going through all the move the definitions because off has about five definitions I'm just going to deal with the ones that we need to work on with our phrasal verbs today in future lessons I'll tell you different meanings of them and you can see when you see them all together how you can figure out what the preposition or how the preposition affects a sentence or rephrase levert and today's meaning earth means moving away or detach and you know that already if you jump off of something you detach or leave it to remove all right what's the move the next one is on when something's on it's touching a good example is let's do it on Monday well when we say do something on Monday and usually use the preposition on for days it means there's an attachment or a movement on right we can also say touching move or continuing right so an example for continuing is move on continue okay over funny enough because you would never think of this but when we use the preposition over with other verbs it can mean communicating or considering thinking about think it over you like that one right there that means to communicate to consider think about or communicate up means collecting coming together approaching means coming closer to when you say the car pulled up to the house the car came closer to the house completing we'll finish up on Monday and improvement let's fix it up all right so I've given you some examples there and told you how the basic meetings now let's look how we use these prepositions in these phrasal verbs to create new meanings or greater meanings remember we set off means to call off or say off means to detach a move away if you call off something means to cancel an event when you cancel you move away from it you're not going to do it anymore so you're moving away take on it means to accept more work here we say attach or touching well if you have one thing and you attach another is taking on more work right you so you accept to have more work or more responsibility alright so if you take on more work at work you're going to have more work tongue-twisted get on now I put whiffs right but in this case on means what we said on me is touching or attach or to have a good relationship well when you have a relationship with someone you're either close or far away if you're attached you're probably touching so if I say I get on well with him or her it means we are close over okay sorry sorry I got another one I got this one before I forget depends on somebody needs something to work okay so you need it so you need to have some kind of touching or community like a contact in order for it to work so I need this this has to be attached to me to work and that's why we say it depends on all right so it depends on what time it is it depends on Fred if friend is not in contact it won't work depends on the time if we're not attached to the right time or happening at the right time it won't work over-over means communicator considering so when you go over something it means to review in detail you have to consider think about something and probably communicate it with someone else when I go over your work I'm going to look look at it look over the work but and then I will communicate what I found in that work all right I will think about it and communicate it look up what did we say but up up means collecting approaching completing and improvement when you look up information you look information on a book or online that means you're collecting it right so you're collecting information you're looking up to approach knowledge understanding so we're using these two together down here and finally to follow up you want to contact a client and give them information when you followup with somebody you're going to collect the information right approach the client and complete the the meeting by informing them so they have more information to make a better decision okay so now I've shown you how we've gone from taking our prepositions to help form new meaning by adding them to verbs and as you can see call you know all means make a call call us you're gonna call someone to move away right take when you take something you bring it to yourself take on and we said on means to attach and you can go oh my gosh yeah by themselves they mean one thing but just by adding these prepositions to each verb we've increased the meaning so you can say more with less and when we go back to the board in a second and you're going to see how we're going to replace the sentences or the sentences parts that we started with at the beginning of this video with these new phrasal verbs and how we can say shorter sentences make much more sense be fuller with meaning and make you clear and like a mini speaker don't forget we're also gonna do homework and bonus now okay so now that I've explained the phrasal verbs to you and the prepositions let's put it into action all right so we did this sentence we'll go over it one more time hey Jay I have to cancel the 8:00 a.m. meeting tomorrow why what's up E the boss asked me to accept more work on the hill and Williams account yeah she wanted me to review it and it's in detail with you we were supposed to look for information online about the important parts of the account and contacts her to give her the information later I heard you two don't get a don't have a good relationship well that would have required you to get the right information from the right people quick snapshot like picture and now let's go into the phrasal verbs now let's throw the first one I have to cancel what did we say cancel was you can do the same thing with a wedding or any event that's right call off but you cancel an event you can call it off call off a wedding call up a meeting call off the ATM meeting tomorrow so they're gonna call it off and we're going to figure and figure out why what's up e boss asked me to take on or accept more work on okay now one of the things I want you to pay attention I'm taking my time of course to let you try and figure out before I get there look how many words these or this phrasal verb or the phrasal verbs I'm using can replace look at this face so the boss asked me to take on the Helen Williams account that means more you know take on take on yourself some responsibilities to take it on yourself in addition right what about the next one yeah she wanted me to review it in detail with you all right have what do we have here believe you have won a brand new car okay go over it with you just as on means in addition to go over means information go over something right inform what's the next one we got so we're going to go over it review it with you we are supposed to look for well one of the words is here already I'm sure you caught it already right so I'm going to erase it but I don't need to cuz I'm going to replace it erases in to replace all of this has to go and we can just put this look up alright to add on when we're looking up something to inform ourselves we were supposed to look up the important parts of the account and what for in the foremen communicate follow-up remember we follow up we get the information we give it back to somebody additional information so up meeting in addition and you notice how this whole entire sentence just disappears like myself okay so here we go I heard you two don't have a good relationship what do we say instead what can we say I'm getting rid of don'ts cuz I have to and I'm going to change it over here okay I'm gonna put it back in here because we need it I'm speaking to myself saying the word don't is necessary to make this sentence make sense so some of the times you will notice I will change it to make it make sense and it's necessary but what I'm trying to get you to understand is how these two words can be contained all of this information and that's why we use phrasal verbs as opposed to just the verb or just a preposition it cuts down on how much we have to write but gives you the same amount of information and this case is negative don't get along how long sorry don't get on and if you remember when we said you get on you can have a good relationship when you don't get on you have a bad relationship now what about this lost sentence well that would have required you to get the right information for the right it's very long it's cumbersome which means a lot and but not comfortable what do we say okay I'm gonna get rid of all of that oh let's go like a sail and this is what I meant by I have to change the sentence in this case I can't just say that depends on it's not really enough but you get the idea that depends on and you will notice how much shorter this particular sentence is compared to that long since as I had and let's go over it just to make sure we have the same meaning that we started with so mr. he says hey J I have to call off the ADM meeting tomorrow James says why what's up E he says the boss asked me to take on the hill and Williams account actually sounds better right James yeah she wanted me to go over it with you right review it he we were supposed to look up the important parts of the account and follow up later right and I forgot to put this follow up with her because in this case the boss alright so there are some things as I said we have to change a little bit but we could I said we could have to follow up later but in this case I want to say follow up with her later okay I heard you two don't get along well that depends on who you spoke to cool right so there's that hidden information where it's like you had to speak to the right person to get the right information to know if this is true I don't need to say that I just go that depends on who you spoke to in that case since you're speaking to listening to me and I'm speaking I would like to do a bonus and I teach you a few more phrasal verbs so we can go up to the magic number turn and give you some homework so let's go and take a look drag on what does that mean when something drags it usually means something follows behind or is on the floor being pulled okay it is not moving quickly that's why it's being dragged think of when you see a mother with a child in the mall shopping the chat come on you have to go we have to go now she drags them along right in this case when we say something drags on it means to continue one of the meanings from on and we go go on longer than needed so if something drags on some of you might say this video was dragging on it means you should have ended at five minutes ago that's what we mean by something drags on it went on longer than needed the meeting dragged on for like three hours the movie dragged on for almost infinity open up that takes the meaning from up from approach did you remember when we talked about okay up and approach but when you open up to somebody it means you talk about your personal life or you talk about feelings that are important to you so if you open up at work you're gonna talk about your personal life or your private life if you open up to a lover or a loved one you will tell them your innermost feelings how you really feel about something dress up dress up as we said from up means to improve when we dress up it means to make something look better one of the easiest things to think of is right now I'm casual if I were to dress up I would put on a tie change this to a jacket wear some pants comb back my hair and I would be dressed up looking good right but it also means to make something look better let's just say you're at work and you have a project and it's okay you know we need to dress it up a little it means we meet we need to improve it to make it look better so maybe the boss likes it or the client wants to get it right so we we were designing a new car you go we need to dress up the way that this car is we're gonna add some lights and some some other details we're making it look better it doesn't necessarily mean it's better but it looks better I got it okay so now that I've given you three extra ones to use on you can use at work especially this one you'll use that a lot he just dragged on the meeting with his bla bla bla bla bla let's give you some homework the homework I'd like you to do is to write out your own conversation using at least four of these phrase verbs in a work situation you can think of an interview you can think of a meeting you can think of presenting something to a client and trying to use these what these words in the way that I've mentioned to you you could say there's a client hi listen tomorrow I've got something really desperate I have to do so I'm gonna have to call off for a meeting tomorrow okay yeah listen up but I will follow up with you on that next week okay and why don't we why don't we go over it over the phone and I've just used three making it up walking around like I'm talking to a client you can do that too you've done this with me I know you've got a good handle on it and in case you don't I would like you to go to or you don't think you do go to WWE as in english' vid' as in video' comm
