And this video is about my favorite word! Do I
have a favorite word? Yes I do! And my favorite word is SET! So you're telling me that your
favorite word is SET!? No, no it's not. But I have to seem enthusiastic for a youtube
video! But I do love SET. I really love SET! My name is Toby, this is SMASH English and here
is every phrasal verb you need to know with SET for the B2 First Cambridge exam. Set about.
To start doing something. Inseparable and transitive. This phrasal verb refers to...
Toby has set about explaining the phrasal verb set about!Ccan you not do that please! I
need to explain with my face. The people at home want to see this face! This face is money!
No, mate. No, no, no. You have set about this in the wrong way! Uh? Why? I don't know it was an
example, for the audience yeah! Oh, okay, uh, yeah, that was really helpful. Thanks now
let's set about the other phrasal verbs! Breathe... just breathe. Set aside. To save something to use later. Separable and
transitive. I try to set aside as much money as possible every month. Jesus, that is such a boring
example! Why don't you set it aside for a moment and think of a better one? Yes you're right,
it is a terrible example because SMASH English makes no money! Ah I've got a better example!
Do you love SMASH English!? Yes we do! Do you want to watch more SMASH English!? Yes I
do but there are only 24 hours in a day I must go to school, I must go to work, I must go
to the toilet, I must have a shower, I must brush my teeth. Oh it's such a problem! Wow! Yes that
is a problem! But you can add SMASH English videos to your WATCH LATER playlist on youtube! Don't
watch them all now! Set some aside for later! And subscribe! Now! Please please! Set
back. To delay the progress of something. Separable and transitive. I was recovering from
my depression well but when SMASH English did not upload a video last week it really set me
back. Toby keeps cancelling my lessons with him it is setting back my learning. And I will always
put my SMASH English videos before my lessons because my lessons, they make me
money! SMASH English makes me... yeah I've got to go... I've
got to go... Set forth. To start a journey. Inseparable and intransitive The brave explorer set forth on his journey.
Wow that's a great voice, isn't it!? Yes, Toby it's great! You are so talented! I
know, I know. But I did it for a reason! You do things with reasons!? Yes! Yes, I do!
Remember if you set forth on something it's formal, it's literary, it's exciting.
You set forth on a quest or an adventure or a life-changing journey like your journey right
now with SMASH English to pass the B2 First exam! Yeah... just don't use this for something normal.
You don't set forth on your journey to school every day. No. It's literary, it's exciting so use
it for literary and exciting things! Which means that I can never use this phrasal verb because my
life is boring and not exciting and I hate it. Now let us set forth together and confront our next
phrasal verb with SET! My favorite word! Set off. Definition one: to start a journey.
Inseparable and intransitive. Yeah this is the same as set forth but it is not
literary, it is not formal, it is very boring. I set off to school = I went to school.
I love school. Yay learning is fun... I hated school mate! It was terrible!
Bruce, you didn't go to school! Yeah exactly, you idiot. It's logic! I didn't go
because I hated it! But you did go to university and I know that Bruce because you mentioned it
in part three of the B2 First Speaking exam! Do you want to watch that video? Yes! Yes you do!
Because if you are taking the B2 First speaking exam it is very important that you understand
what to do or you could fail! So watch that video after this one! Though watch all of this
one! This one's really important as well! Uh, Toby I'm gonna set off home now all right?
So uh I'll see you in a bit yeah? Cool. Don't worry guys! Bruce is not going anywhere!
That was just an example. Hey! Bruce!? Oh... Definition two. To explode a bomb or ring an
alarm. Separable and transitive. This is the same as the phrasal verb GO OFF... kind of. A fire
alarm goes off: it makes a noise. Or it is SET OFF by something like a fire for example. A
burglar alarm GOESS OFF or it can be SET OFF by a burglar or something, yeah. An alarm that wakes
you up in the morning GOES OFF it is not SET OFF however you do SET the alarm before you go to bed.
This means to choose the time that the alarm makes its noise or the times that the alarm GOESS OFF.
But you already knew that didn't you!? No you didn't? Well then! You need to watch this video
all about phrasal verbs with GO! Go! You get it? Go? Go! I make the same joke in that video and in
that video it is equally as funny as this video. Set out. Definition one: to start a journey.
Inseparable and intransitive. Seriously another journey? But again it's slightly different. We can
say I set out last night. That just means I left my house last night. Usually to start an important
journey something with a goal or a target. We can also say: I set out ON something. For example: I
set out ON my journey to discover the meaning of life. But we do not need to set out on journeys
like these because we know the meaning of life! It's SMASH English videos! That's why we
live! For this.... Or we can set out FOR a destination. I set out for England, for Japan,
for Mozambique, for Lebanon, for Australia, for anywhere in the world actually....
Definition two: to aim or intend to do something. Inseparable and intransitive. The
young entrepreneur set out to make his millions. SMASH English sets out to teach you the
English you need to know to pass the b2 First exam! So SMASH subscribe! Yes! Here
the phrasal verb SET OUT is followed by TO plus the INFINITIVE. It is very similar to
the verb to AIM. The meaning of set out here is very similar to our first meaning except
the journey isn't towards a destination but instead towards an achievement and isn't that
exciting? Yes it is very very exciting. Set up. Definition one: prepare equipment for use later.
Separable and transitive. My grandpa is terrible with mobile phones. I had to set his up for him.
Before the concert the road crew set up the stage. Definition 2: to start an organization. Separable
