what is the first phrasal verb with go that you have to share with us today so uh probably most of our listeners viewers know this phrasal verb go up you can imagine you go up the stairs but this phrasal verb also has another meaning it means to increase in quality or in value so for example we can use it when talking about uh prices so let's say the prices of the houses in this neighborhood has gone up recently right or when you are working out let's say your heart rate may go up yeah start beating faster my prices go up well taking from that we can also think about the opposite to go down so to go down is to decrease or fall in value or quantity so let's say the temperature is going down tonight or the temperature is going down in my city yeah you see it's decreasing or falling or the stock market went down sharply sharply means significantly by the way so when something goes down sharply the number in this case reduces significantly price is going to keep going down I really liked the phrase I think we learned it at the University or something but there is this phrase to go down in history do you know what that means I believe I do but do explain okay thank you so to go down in history is to be recorded or to be remembered in history so you can say that July 2023 will go down in history as the hottest ever another example I can think of is talk about someone let's say he will go down in history as one of the worst football players ever because you know his performance was just terrible in that game yeah so right now it's the full season in Ukraine and many kids in schools uh start catching some viruses so there is a phrase verb to talk about that so half of the class went down with the flu so it means that they caught the flu yeah they got sick to go down with something to go down with some virus for example that actually happened to me and my family recently to be specific last week I don't know if you guys can hear my voice but my voice is not 100% today because I am recovering from a cold I guess that we all here it started with my son so to use the phrasal verb my son went down with a code first and then my wife caught it and then I caught it even my my daughter yeah my toddler she was a little bit sick as well so it was a beautiful Collective you know thing that we got together as a family and know everybody gets sick together together but we are recovering now we are much better that's good but that's a good meaning right uh we can also use that in a more uh literal sense right yeah that's true that's true we we're starting uh explaining the phrasal verbs with go up when like you are going up something yeah above so imagine again when you go down so you can imagine a ship so to go down means to sink and if you remember that that story about the Titanic uh so the Titanic went down with uh around 1,500 people on board we can also use that more figuratively as well which means to be defeated he reminds me of this 80s movie with Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell it's a cop 80s movie that I love called Tango in cash from ' 89 to be specific yeah and uh there is this line This scene where um uh you know the the main characters are um set up and the guy who sets them up tells them you're going down for this in that case it's like oh you're going to be destroyed or you're reputation is going to be destroyed you're going to go to jail your life is going to be hard so it also has more of this figurative meaning you're going down for this oh I just remember another movie also from Stallone Rocky Rocky baloa the boxer you know and uh I think it's Rocky one or two he fights Apollo and Apollo tells him in the ring you're going down you're going down in that case it's literally right I mean I'm going to knock you out but also you're going to be defeated or destroyed destroyed by me you know so yeah it could be more literal or figurative isn't it frustrating when you learn a new word or expression here with

okay Thiago so should we go on yeah absolutely I'm enjoying these go phrasal verbs yeah let's do it and yeah there is the next phrasal verb go on you know uh this sentence the earlier sentence we gave as an example that about the Titanic reminded me of this song my heart my heart will go on byon from this very movie My heart will go so go on uh means here like to continue she says that my heart will continue to beat I will you know continue to leave yeah yeah maybe uh it was about Leonardo dicapri oh my heart will go on without you my love something like that right it's supposed to be a romantic song right so yeah that's a good one yeah to continue right uh reminds me also of that Queen's classic The Show Must Go On Right Show Must Go On The Show Must Go On You Know in that case The Show Must continue the show must go on the next one we have here on the list is go off when something goes off you can think about it as exploding or detonating like a bomb or uh fireworks for example so you see that a lot in action mov for example you know uh there's a bomb and the hero has to uh disarm that bomb and people say oh no uh quick quick fast the bomb is going to go off anytime soon yeah so the bomb is going to explode also when talking about an alarm clock on your phone for example it means to start ringing so I can say my alarm clock goes off every day at 6 a.m. you see it rings it starts playing I think there is one more meaning with go off uh it's like when talking about food and you open the fridge and you check the expiration date right so you may say that oh my God our milk went off right like go off is just to spoil yeah right yeah yeah usually you you open it and you smell it like o yeah I mean I think this is off this has gone off yeah so we better throw it away Chago I want to go to the next phrasal verb now and just to remind you I used it in my story I told you that the kittens were playing and chasing each other so another way to say to Chase is to go after so I I could say kittens went after each other right so to go Afters to pursue or to chase someone it's usually also like you love movies like series just recently you've mentioned some criminal story something the movie about that and so it's usually the policemen chase the criminals right so they go after criminals good one another one would be um to try to achieve something so again it's close to the literal meaning to chase but in this case it would be more figurative like you're trying to go after your dreams you pursue your dreams right so for example she decided to go after her dream and become a professional musician right so to go after in this sense means to pursue to want to achieve something and a little bit of unexpected meaning uh for the phrasal verb to go after is to criticize so imagine when there is an interview and the journalist they just try to go after a corrupted politician and asking uncomfortable questions so to go after uh means to criticize uh and sometimes even like you know to uh show you like aggression or really be pushy it's not that you mention that because it's a nice little third Nuance that we have there yeah I'm going after Schmid a great phrasal verb we have here as well is go over so when you go over something you review it or you discuss it in more detail maybe you explain it it's a really useful phrasal verb especially in the context of work you know or even school so for example imagine you are at work having a meeting with your colleague and you can say okay let's go over the details of the plan one more time or let's go over the project one more time let's talk about it let's review it let's discuss it Cheo let me go over my list of phrasal verbs to know what to to know what to bring next Dr Del will go with the results with you next week you know just a little just a little parenthesis there I got to mention uh this reminds me of when I'm teaching a class and uh sometimes uh a student uh uses the vocabulary we we are actually using in that class you know the new vocab ulary we are working with and the person is learning there I love it when the student in the same class in the same conversation the the person makes this effort to use the vocab that we are working on just like we are trying to do here yeah that's a great tip we can give you guys out there use the vocabulary you are exposed to the new vocab as soon as you can as soon as you learn it as soon as somebody explains it to you you see it in a video or in a podcast try to use it as soon as possible that's a very good piece of advice to our viewers I agree I totally agree and to agree with someone you can say when you agree with someone you can say uh that you go along with someone's words or with someone's suggestions so let's say a colleague of yours suggests you something or related to work and hey Thiago adjust this settings of your camera and you make they say like yeah let I I will go along with uh your suggestion nice so I will go along with your suggestion means I agree with what you're saying I'm going to do what you're saying right exactly exactly that's right I'll go along with that and another one I wanted to Brak today is go well with something so if you are choosing uh the outfit you can say that this dress goes really well with these shoes so again it's a little bit of about agreement dress agrees with his shoes like they uh match together they go well with each other right green and black go well together I find it fascinating that just by changing the preposition off on in at after the verb the meaning changes completely also depending on the situation the context we using a certain phrasal verb in the meaning can also slightly change this is fascinating context is the key Chiago I see it over and over again when I'm reading and for example when I come across some unknown word I don't go and look it up right away because like the context gives you this opportunity to guess the word so that's would be another good piece of advice to our viewers if you uh don't know the meaning of this exact phrasal verb first try to guess maybe you remember the literal meaning of it try to draw some parallels you know cool so we can say that context is King this trip that I'm going to talk about was full of its its risks and its uncertainties its Mysteries its Adventure the place we wanted to go was this island formenta and it's a small island off the coast of iiza and we had this idolized vision of this island because there's a beer company in Spain called esta it's actually based here in Barcelona
