message so please check that out okay so let's get started today we're going to talk about 20 high frequency phrasal verbs i'm going to introduce each verb i'm going to explain the definition or the meaning sometimes there are two and share some example sentences so please feel free to send your example sentences as well let's get started though because we have a lot to talk about i'm going to share the lesson and then i'm going to begin okay great let's get it going first let's start on this part of the board you'll notice in today's lesson a lot of the phrasal verbs will use up i think this is the most common one the most common preposition for today so please note that up and out are some very very commonly confused ones so let's get started with pick up pick up pick up is our first phrasal verb to pick up and i think yeah we'll zoom in it's hard to see there's a lot today pick up to pick up there are two meanings for to pick up first to pick up can mean to take something from a low place and move it to a high place so we use this a lot with the phone for example to pick up the phone right so the phone is in a lower place you take it from the low place and move it to the high place to pick up so as in pick up the phone or please pick up the phone the second meaning for pickup is to collect someone or to collect something so this is very commonly used in a sentence like this can you pick me up from the airport can you pick me up from the airport so this means please collect me from the airport so i arrive at the airport i want you to collect me like in your car or some other mode of transportation so there are two ways to use pick up pick up second phrasal verb is come back so i want to talk about come back and go back together these two they have they share very similar meanings but what's important here with come back and go back is the perspective of the speaker perspective means the point of view of the speaker so let's look at come back first to come back means to return to a place yes to return to a place but from the point of view of a person who remains in that place so for example let's say uh i'm here in front of the camera and our control desk person suddenly leaves and i'm like oh no like i'm in a live lesson no please come back please come back i need your help please don't go anywhere please come back i need your help i say come back because i am still here i don't say go back i don't say go back i'm remaining i'm still in this place so i say please come back please don't go away however go back go back is from the perspective of the other person so again to go back means to return to a place you were just in but from the point of view of the person who moved away so for example again if i'm here and the control desk person decides suddenly to leave the studio and i'm like no come back and the control desk person decides to enter the room again he might say ah i'm going to go back into the studio i'm going to go back into the studio so to come back and to go back yes they mean to return to a place but your perspective your point of view is very important here so these two are very commonly confused so some other examples with come back and go back are please come back to visit soon please come back to visit soon and uh i'm gonna go back to my college i'm gonna go back to my college yes okay uh some examples i'm looking for your examples uh on facebook tan tatyang says i will come back soon i will come back soon so like i'll come back to a place you're in maybe okay uh i don't see any other so let's continue on we have two more in this first group uh the next one turn out to turn out to turn out means to end or to finish we use this typically at like the end of an event or when we want to talk about the way in which something finished an event finished a party finished maybe like a live stream finished so when we want to talk about how something finished we can use turn out for example our event turned out this is past tense our event turned out great our event turned out that means our event ended great our event finished great so to turn out means to end in some way to end okay and finally very similar sounding end up to end up so it might seem similar to turnout but end up means to finally be in a situation or to finally be in a place so we usually use end up when there's been some kind of struggle or some kind of challenge and we tried many many different things and finally we finish in this situation or in this condition for example last night we ended up taking a taxi home last night we ended up taking a taxi home so maybe in this situation the speaker was out late at night with friends or the speakers in this case they were out late at night and the train the train stopped running or the subway stopped so that was maybe a challenge or a struggle they could say last night we ended up so it's like saying eventually or in the end after some struggles we took a taxi home or we ended up taking a taxi home okay let's see i'm looking for your examples other few almeida says on youtube the party turned out great exactly good edgard says my birthday party turned out just fine perfect very nice uh sarif man says hello alicia please come back tomorrow to teach me about english perfect very nice so digitally come back please come back i cannot come back tomorrow but please join us next week okay uh some other examples kanwalit says he spent all his money and ended up with no money in the middle of the month perfect very nice example uh life says they end up they end up or they ended up loving each other okay good good uh d valerian says i ended up in the friend zone oh nice example okay on facebook uh masia i ended the project so we use end up when we want to talk about like something that happens after a struggle so we follow end up usually with some verb this is uh taking in this case we ended up taking so we're talking about some action we eventually did okay uh if you missed anything if you missed anything here you can check the video the recording of the video later it's a lot today so let's take one quick break and then we'll go to the next group of phrasal verbs so i introduced this at the beginning of today's lesson very briefly uh but as always we have free stuff for everybody free vocabulary pdfs i'll go over here yeah i usually show the business one of course i know many of you are studying for work on the back here you will find uh some expressions for meetings which i often talk about and these often uh today's lesson we can use some of these phrasal verbs in meetings so this is another good one to review also another time when you're using phrasal verbs a lot is when shopping this says clothes yes but in general when you are shopping for things phrasal verbs come up a lot so these are a couple of examples of situations where phrasal verbs like these are very uh useful so check these out i'll show you some more later there are lots of topics you can find everything from the link below the video on youtube or above the video if you're watching on facebook if you're watching on instagram please check youtube or facebook and sorry i can't see your comments live okay so let's continue to the next part for today's lesson uh next we're gonna look at five more and uh if you have not please make sure to like and share this live lesson so other learners can find today's topic alrighty onward next group let's start with this one show up to show up is our next phrasal verb to show up means to appear to appear especially when not expected so we typically use show up for people so it's like we're surprised to see someone and like we're we want to express that surprise for example i was surprised the ceo showed up at the meeting so showed up showed up is the past tense form of show up i was surprised the ceo showed up at the meeting like this we could replace showed up with appeared or we could say came to but showed up is like it communicates the feeling of surprise or something unexpected happening the ceo showed up in the meeting oh my gosh so show up communicates this feeling of surprise better than appear or come in this case so we use this for people generally occasionally it's used for like objects i suppose but we'll talk about another one that we typically use for objects instead okay uh leah says nice of you to show up great example nice of you to show up it's like you weren't expecting someone to come uh this has kind of a negative feel about it nice example leah okay let's continue on to hold up hold up so to hold up has two different uses that i'll talk about here first is to raise something high so to hold we have the simple just a verb to hold something like i hold my phone like to hold my phone and then i could say i hold up my phone so this one is very easy to understand i think to hold something up to hold something up but the second meaning is probably less clear the second meaning is to cause a delay to cause a delay so in an example sentence a mistake held up the project a mistake held up the project so held up is the past tense of hold up a mistake caused a delay in the project a mistake held up the project that's what this means so we can say caused a delay in that's also okay but this one is a bit shorter it's easier to say a mistake held up the project or an accident held up the train so something that caused a delay can be can be expressed with hold up hold up okay i will check to see if there are any examples really really quickly uh a on facebook says hold up there hold up there uh that's another use of hold up which isn't really in a sentence but as a command hold up can also mean wait wait like hold up can also mean to wait to wait we'll also see this with uh hold on later but yes hold up can also mean uh please wait or casually to wait uh so it's less it's not really used in a sentence just as it is okay uh yes many people are using the first meaning to hold something up like to hold up an object okay uh tamara tamara i hope i said that right the hurricane holds up the flight make sure the hurricane held up past tense yeah the hurricane held up the flight caused past tense caused a delay in the flight uh okay other examples i don't see okay let's continue on then next is checkout check out so this one again there are two meanings i'm going to talk about in this lesson to check out number one is to pay for items at a store to pay for items at a store so you've gone shopping like you're at the bookstore or whatever you've collected your items you take them to the cash register and you pay so we use checkout to describe that i'm gonna check out i would like to check out please that means i would like to pay for my stuff i'm done i'm done shopping to check out the other meaning though means to look at something so we usually use this for something new something that is new i want to check out a new thing for example let's check out that new restaurant so i've hear i've used to look at something but so we can use it for something new we physically look at it can also mean like to experience as in this case let's check out that new restaurant means like let's go and look around and try that new restaurant so we usually use this for something new so check that out or let's check out this thing to check out to check out uh someone says check out the pdf cheat sheet now yeah check it out check out there are lot of them i think they're like 25 maybe we have new ones i don't know if i've shown all of them but yes please do check these out please do check these out uh okay ah uh nene on facebook has another good example of check out so i talked about check out at a store when you're ready to pay for something you can also use it at a hotel when you leave the hotel to check out of the hotel life says is check out similar to confirm no check out is different to check is similar to confirm to check yes i'm going to check some information i'm going to confirm information yes okay all right so let's move on to move on so to move on perfect segway i didn't even plan that oh so move on to move on means to go to the next thing i use this all the time i just use this in the live lesson so it means like to go to the next thing usually in a list or usually in a sequence so in this case i have a big list of vocabulary words i want to go to the next thing i say i'm going to move on i'm going to move on to something so this is the preposition we use for example i'm going to move on to the next part of the lesson i'm going to move on to noun phrase you'll hear this used in presentations so i'm going to move on to the next slide i'm going to move on to my next topic this is very good for meetings and presentations on to break down break down two two things i want to talk about here to break down means to make something smaller to make something smaller for example like if you have like a stick and you need to make it smaller we can say to break it down meaning to break it into smaller pieces like this kind of so one thing becomes smaller to break something down but this one the second meaning is one we use in our lessons from time to time to break something down can mean to explain something in detail to give small details about something for example let's break down the grammar of this sentence let's break down the grammar of this sentence that means let's look at the details let's explain in detail the small points of something so let's break it down let's break this down this is also very common in meetings in classes in lectures and so on to explain something in detail as a question you could say could you please break this down for me that means can you please explain to me in detail can you please break this down okay phew let's continue on to column three because time's going quickly and we have lots to cover uh i'm looking for your your examples but let's get to the next one put down put down so we talked about pickup at the beginning of the lesson to pick something up is to take something from a low place and move it to a high place yeah to put down is the opposite put down the phone that's what it means so to move something from a high place or to move something you are holding to a resting position so we pick up the phone we put down the phone i often hear students say pick the phone no we can't use pick the phone pick up the phone and put down the phone this is the first meaning the second meaning though is maybe a little more difficult uh it means to discourage to discourage or to bully someone so to discourage or to bully someone means to say mean things to say rude things to someone to make them feel bad that's called putting someone down to put someone down in a sentence don't put down your classmates don't put down your classmates so that means like trying to move them to like a lower social position you can kind of think of it as that okay on to turn up turn up i talked about this one show up earlier we use show up for unexpected appearances a lot turn up has the same thing the same feeling but we use turn up for objects objects so we use this when we're looking for something like a marker if i'm looking for my red marker i can't find it but finally i do find it i can say ah my marker it turned up on the desk or in this example sentence my keys turned up in my bathroom so we use turn up and it gives the listener the feeling that we were looking for something for a long time or something was really hard for us to find and at last we found it finally we found that thing it turned up past tense turned up my marker turned up over there so something we wanted to find that's meaning one meaning two is to raise the volume of music or to raise the volume of tv so that just means to make something louder turn it up i love this song so you can use uh of course the opposite uh to turn something down like to turn the volume of a tv or music program down too alrighty onward to hold on i mentioned hold on briefly when we talked about hold up hold on means to wait to wait so as a command we use hold on to mean wait yes so you will very commonly hear people say hold on or hold on a minute or hold on a moment it means please wait so it doesn't mean hold anything no holding here but part two meaning two you might hear in movies and tv especially like action movies meaning two is to hold something yes but usually for safety purposes usually like a character in an action movie will say hold on to something like before an airplane crashes i don't know so to hold on to something uh is usually used for safety reasons for example with a beautiful drawing uh hold on to the ladder when climbing so if this is my beautiful ladder so when you're climbing for safety reasons you should hold on to the ladder so that means like physically holding something and like continuing to hold that thing to hold on usually for safety reasons uh yes many people are using the weight version of hold on great great i see lots of these all right onward to ketchup to catch up to catch up not to catch up the common uh food that we have with french fries to catch up means to get the latest information and it means to get to the same place as someone like especially in a competition like in a race for example let's get a coffee and catch up let's get a coffee and ketchup so that means let's get a coffee and share our latest news let's share our latest information for meaning two though we might hear this in sports so if you like to watch sports you might hear like team a caught up to team b the preposition is two there team a caught up to team b like they were at 10 points now they're at 15 points they caught up to team b so they they uh got to the same place as someone or another team all right takeover is the last one for this group to take over means to completely control something you might hear this in business news so like company a took over past tense of take is took company a took over company b so company a completely has control of company b to completely take over something to take control of something now they are they have the power example my job is taking over my life that's not true my job is taking over my life but that means my job has total control over my life to take over something to take over something all right we have five left oh my gosh we might make it in time i'm trying to check your examples really quickly people are using hold up yeah please hold up a minute great job with using hold up uh yes some people are asking about the expression broke down yes to break down uh means to have usually a mechanical problem to break down or to have an emotional problem i broke down last night i lost my job some of you are asking about breakdown there are those two meanings all right let's go to our final group for this lesson again lots that use up up up up first one is look up look up so the easy one to understand the easy meaning to understand here is to like use your eyes and look in an upward direction like look up at the sky that's easy to understand i think but uh someone mentioned it earlier in this lesson to look up means to research something to check information to research something so like if i don't know a vocabulary word i might check it like i'm going to look up the meaning of this vocabulary word i'm going to research the vocabulary word like what does the word uh what does inauguration mean i don't know i'm going to look up this word means research or to check or try to confirm something okay uh my example here was please look up the definition so this is a great word for learners of languages to look up something or to it sounds a little more casual a lot more casual actually than research research sounds very heavy like very detailed look up is like just a quick check okay on to put up put up again two meanings for put up first is to tolerate to tolerate so to tolerate something means to stand something usually there's some negative thing and you try not to let it affect you that's called tolerating something so even if something bad happens someone says rude things or something is unpleasant you continue to do your best you tolerate something we use put up to mean this for example i don't put up with rude behavior so the preposition we use is with i don't put up with noun phrase i don't put up with rude behavior that means i don't tolerate rude behavior that's not okay for me i don't tolerate so put up and in this meaning we follow with the preposition with with i don't put up with rude behavior second is to decorate to decorate so these are very different meanings yeah to decorate this physically means to put an object to put something like up high so we use it a lot like uh on the holidays like we want to hang lights for example it actually means putting something oh it's too heavy we put sorry hard to see we put an object up somewhere for the purpose of decoration to put up noun phrase so no width in that case to put up decorations okay ah some good examples with put up someone rahul says i put up uh with pain yeah so many people if you have a medical issue you might say i put up with this problem all the time or this pain is difficult for me to put up with yes great example great example okay um i don't see other ones we're almost done we're almost done i hope it's okay three more three more are bring up first one bring up this is great for business meetings to bring up means to introduce a topic for discussion to introduce a topic for discussion for example our manager brought up past tense our manager brought up our new product performance at the meeting so this means our manager introduced the topic of our new product performance at the meeting so to bring up means to introduce right last two last two are almost there i'm a bit late sorry i'll finish quickly pull up to pull up can mean to open a file on a computer to open a file on a computer hey miguel one of our members has joined hi there uh so to open a file on a computer we use pull up because it's sort of like if you can imagine when you open a file on your computer it kind of goes whoosh like this yeah so that's we use the the phrasal verb pull up to refer to this when the file comes up pull uh appears on your screen so to pull up to pull up and we also use this when driving it means to drive a short distance to stop at a point we use this uh for like fast food restaurants when we go to drive through we might say pull up to the window please so the preposition in this case is to pull up to the window pull up to the window and one more example can you pull up that picture so on your computer is what this means can you please pull up that picture that's what this request is asking for you might hear open as well but pull up also is commonly used last one phew last one appropriately i chose this for the last one is shut down to shut down so to shut down of course is used for computers to shut down means to turn off usually a computer or other machine other mechanical device to shut down to cut power to something so i need to shut down my computer or try shutting down your computer but we also have this very casual meaning which is to reject to reject for example i asked my boss for a raise but she shut me down she shut me down that means i asked my boss for a raise but she rejected me or she declined so reject reject or to decline as well it can have that meaning so to shut down can mean uh to be refused but this is very casual very casual so we use this when we're speaking with our friends if we're rejected wow so we made it guys we made it everybody we made it through 20 phrasal verbs in 35 minutes very close very close so these are 20 very very common phrasal verbs that i've noticed uh might be hard to understand or are a little bit tricky and there's a lot to cover here i'll step off screen once really really quickly you can take a screenshot boom if you like and i hope that this is helpful for your studies so i
