AS Phrasal Verbs

okay welcome everybody to today's class we're going to look at phrasal verbs again I'm still writing the phrasal verbs look I have almost finished it there aren't many chapters left to finish there there are three or four chapters but it will be available pretty soon I'm gonna put some illustrations in there as well I'm gonna try and make sure there are no mistakes in there which is obviously gonna be difficult I'll have to read through it and edit it and I hope that I can ask some friends to help me out here but once it's ready it will be made to accompany these lessons today we're looking at phrasal verbs with ours sorry about that light shining on the board let's try and stop that one second I think I can get rid of it should have thought it out I think more or less so we're doing it phrasal verbs with the with the preposition as couldn't remember the word there there aren't many with as which is good news because there aren't so many to learn and there is a lot of the as phrasal verbs are related to how people appear to be okay so if we look at come across as or past one cell fossa or off as you'll see that we're definitely dealing with people for a lot of these not all of them but for a lot of them okay so let's start today's class with pass as or pass oneself off off as which are very similar and you can also say pass for someone and this pass for someone is related to two other phrasal verbs that we've already studied take someone for and mistake someone for so if you pass yourself off as a policeman it means you pretend to be a policeman and you manage to fool people that you are a policeman so it's when you manage to fool people that you are something or someone that you are someone that you aren't okay so it's very much about appearing to be someone even though you are and you managed to do it you managed to fool people so this past oneself offers and passes someone they and pass for someone if you say if you say something like this I think you could pass for the policeman it means I think you look like a policeman you look so similar that people will believe you are a policeman you can pass for the policeman same as pass as a policeman and the same as he passed himself off as a policeman he made himself look like a policeman and people believed him so there is deception involved here that must be pointed out there is deception involved when you pass as or you pass well especially when you pass yourself off as you have disguised yourself as a policeman and that's one I haven't even put on here though I've just thought of disguise oneself as and so notice that there are other phrases which are similar disguise oneself as disguise someone as yeah that would be very similar to pass as or pass oneself off as it's used for when you wear the disguise when you pretend to be someone and I want you to focus now at the bottom of the board because we've got a very similar phrasal verb posed as if you say he was posing as a policeman it's the same as he was passing himself off as a policeman it means he was pretending to be this particular person okay and that's why I say posed as someone not really something you pose as a policeman or you pose as a doctor or something like that and so you usually have an adjective or a noun after path past oneself off as because you could have an adjective you could say he passed himself off as excellent but actually he was awful yes something like that it might be possible as well but usually it's a noun and it's usually the person you are disguised as or you disguise someone to look like that so you've got all of those in has disguised someone as past as someone past for someone they all involve this deception of managing to appear to be someone even though you aren't and even these two this means perceive someone to be something even though they aren't and the same with this one okay if you come across as friendly it means you appear to be friendly so we're still dealing with appearances if you come off as friendly you appear to be friendly so these two are synonymous really come across that has come off as this anonymous and they both mean appear to be so you might say he came across as a leader in which case you've got a noun but you might say he came across as bossy in which case you got an adjective so again the adjective other noun will tend to be the object of this phrasal verb double up as is when something some object manages to serve a second purpose so you might say this plate you know you use it for food but it we double it it doubles up as an ashtray yeah maybe you use it as an ashtray as well so that would be the second purpose it doubles up as an ashtray so this is useful when you find a second purpose for something a second use let's say for something so you might say the sofa is a lovely place to sit but it doubles up as a bed yeah it just means the second use of that sofa is a bed and of course many sofas do that many sofas you can take them apart and they double up as a bed okay if you have someone down as let's come back to these two because these two are the main two phrasal verbs with as many of the other many of the other options are similar to these two so if you have someone down as it means you believe someone to be like that you might say I had him down as a fool but I was wrong yeah I took him for the fool but I was wrong okay so if you have someone down as it means you believe someone to be something but you may well be mistaken so yeah to have someone down as to believe someone to be I would say believe someone to be I believed him to be a fool yeah but someone to be and very similar to take someone for very similar no put someone down as is the same if you say I put him down as a fool but I was wrong it's the same this is a guy vector synonym of this one and you might have a fool at the end or you might have an adjective I had him down as stupid yeah but actually he's very intelligent I put him down as impetuous but actually he's very careful and cautious and also mark someone down as is another option here they're all synonyms however in my opinion this one is the least used you don't often see mark you normally see put or have okay we've done posers cuz it's like disgust well it's like disguise yourself as posed as pass as passed for and that's the difference these ones pass as Orpah asked for mean you are successful you managed to make people believe that you were someone else this one just means you're pretending to be someone else maybe you're successful maybe you're not you could pose as a policeman and nobody believes you but if you pass for a policeman it means people are believing you they think you are the policeman Oh Kate but pose as is more like just disguise yourself as okay if you save a document as something that just means you give a name to the document when you save it this is a computing terminal you know computing phrasal verb and if you say if you're your friend is looking for your document on the computer and you say I saved it as phrasal verbs one you know then they can call up the window and they can find the document that you have saved as phrasal verbs one okay if you look on someone as something this is again very much related to to perceiving someone to be believing someone to be I've put over here consider someone to be so yeah this is saying consider someone to be perceived someone to be believed someone to be this is very similar again so you could say I looked on him as a fool but I was wrong this one doesn't necessarily have that idea though that you are long the other ones do these free down here they certainly do in my opinion when you say this it's usually when you mean but I was wrong when you look at when you use this phrasal verb you're not necessarily wrong you might be right yeah I have always looked on him as a leader I have always looked on him as my good something like that and you're not mistaken okay so there's no mistake here we've look on someone as something or really I think this one doesn't have that that idea that you might be mistaken and this one holds someone up as something is very similar to look on someone as something but this one is usually used in passive I thought that was worth knowing going to do a video about passive soon because I see that there's a lot of information that we shouldn't use passive online and I want to argue against that idea but this one is usually used in passive so he has been held up as a great man yeah so normally it's not hold someone up as normally it's to be held up as let's put it in passive straight away because it's usually impassive to be held up as and it means to be believed to be but this one's nearly always put a perfect example of so it's positive so when somebody holds somebody holds you up as a great man or you say he is held up as a great man it means that people claim that you are something positive it's nearly always positive and think about it you're holding someone up high just like you're looking up to someone you're respecting them you're holding someone up as a shining example of something so it's usually very positive this one because it involves being held up and you might say something like my boss has been held up as the best manager in the business something like that okay last one for today to go so far as and this is usually used in negative sentences in my opinion but it doesn't have to be because you could say he even went so far as to do this but so yeah it doesn't have to be perhaps I should take that off because it sounds fine to me now but it's really often seen in negative sentences and it's very often + 2 + infinitive yet he went so far as to write me a letter something like that so to go so far as means to to do something which is unexpected and it's unexpected because it's perhaps something which you didn't need to do which was unnecessary but you did so it means you really put in a lot of effort a lot of the time so perhaps I might say something like this I really want to help my students and so I even go so far as to ask them to send me emails to ask me questions I go that far meaning I just go a little bit further I try a little bit harder to do something but it's very often in the negative form example you might say something like I knew that the person was depressed but I didn't think they would go so far as to kill themselves something like that which means you didn't think they would do that that they would go that far ok so to go so far as it's a very common expression and I would consider it almost like a phrasal verb clearly because a lot of these phrasal verb expressions or idiomatic expressions they very often involve prepositions and they are everywhere you see them everywhere you hear them everywhere so they're well worth learning ok so if anybody would like to see more of these videos please click on the like button subscribe blah blah blah I hope to see you all soon and I hope that I'll be able to make that phrasal verb book available I'll roll it out I'll bring it

copy of it straight away and if anyone else out there would like a copy it will be made available on Amazon or maybe even through the YouTube subscription service I haven't really got it sorted yet
