facebook i'm coming to you i'm coming to you facebook anna hello renita crew napoleon hello fernando noradine hello everybody thanks for joining us if you missed it today we are talking about phrasal verbs that you can use in your house i chose 20. so i'm going to uh go through in three groups i have also for today made a quick uh picture so that you can see uh at the end of today's lesson all of the phrasal verbs we're going to talk about but um this is everything this is today's everything today's vocabulary list so if you want a screenshot take your screenshot now we're going to start right here with this part so let's get started i'll show this again later so please don't worry if you missed it now okay let's get started all right so first group of phrasal verbs i'm starting at the beginning of the day over here uh we're going to start with uh wake up here and get up so what's the difference between wake up and get up wake up is well for some people it's like it's like saying uh some some people argue like wake up and get up are the same thing but uh we can also think of wake up and get up as two slightly different moments wake up refers to opening your eyes so meaning to open your eyes like the phys like the act of opening your eyes you gain consciousness again so for example like wake up it's 12. or past tense i woke up late so wake up it's 12 is present tense or i woke up late i woke up late past tense so i want to mention in this lesson the phrasal verbs that you can separate and the phrasal verbs that you cannot separate so when i say uh separate i mean when we can put like the object of the verb between the verb and the preposition so this is an example of a verb a phrasal verb that you can separate so for example when we want to use wake up as a command like your sister or your brother or your someone you know is sleeping you can say wake him up or wake her up or if it's me you could say wake alicia up we have to go. so you can put the person here wake person up to express the person that needs to wake up we use that as a command though so wake someone up we can use it uh get up on the other hand to get up let's go to the second one here to get up means to get out of your bed or to get out of your stone or whatever you sleep in so to get up means to get out of bed for example i get up early every day or past tense she got up late today so past tense is got up got up like this okay so um this verb or sorry this phrasal verb rather we cannot like i would say we tend not to use this one we usually don't separate this one but you might hear someone say hey get that person up uh like especially if it's like like me as a kid like you want to stay in bed like and a parent needs to get the child out of bed you might hear this one separated like get alicia up uh but more generally i feel we use this one wake up separated this one we don't separate as often okay i'm checking your example sentences hello to everybody who's joining us uh let's continue on to the next one lie around i've put lay here in parentheses under lie there's a reason so grammatically like correct the correct verb to use here is lie to lie around which means like to do nothing like your body you lie on your sofa or like you lie on your bed and you do nothing so we use the expression to lie around to mean to do nothing in your house or like to do nothing in like a comfortable place to lie around however native speakers often use lay in this expression we use lie and lay interchangeably though yes they have separate meanings to profess your mind we use lay for an object like i lay my pen down on my laptop so that's like uh that's an object that's doing it if i want to talk about my body i use lie here so we use lie around to mean to do nothing like on the sofa so for example i'm just gonna lie around today or we're just lying around the house so this is very common to use around the house here or sorry to use the house here so it doesn't mean like your body is around your house or something it means like inside your house like on your sofa or your bed or whatever you're just doing nothing that's what this one means to lie around so you can say i'm just going to lie around today if you want to have a chill day all right cool onward next one is pick up pick up i included this one first let's talk about what it means it means to take something from the floor that's one and too tidy too tidy like so too tidy means like to make a space clean so if there's like lots of stuff in the space to pick up the space like pick up your room for example pick up your clothes or pick up your room it means to take those things off the floor to make the space tidy organized i wanted to include this one for this reason right here not pick so to pick can mean like to choose like i pick you or i pick this color or it can mean like to scratch at something this use however is pick up so to pick up an object from the floor or to tidy something victor says can i say i need to pick up something at the store yes there is that uh other meaning uh of this phrasal verb as well what does tidy mean so to tidy means to make something organized so like if your room has your clothes on the floor and i don't know lots of food or dishes i don't know it's messy too tidy means to clean those things so to organize everything okay uh jomari says pick up that stick yes okay good all right yes tidy is to straighten that's a good word for it counter-tenor okay yes there are other definitions some of you are pointing out that there are other definitions for these phrasal verbs yes that is correct for today's lesson i'm covering the meanings that we use inside the house but yes there are other meanings for these phrasal verbs okay let's go to the last one for the script put away to put away means to put something in the correct place to put something in the correct place for example put away the dishes or can you put the towels away so i want to mention a couple things put away can be split uh i forgot sorry i forgot to mention it with pick up uh put away can be split so here i put put and away together yeah put away the dishes so the dishes refers to the object i'm going to put in its correct place we can also split this so put object away can you put the towels away is also okay we can split this one i forgot to mention pick up uh you can split this as well so for example pick your clothes up is also okay to use okie dokie i'm looking at your questions and your comments now uh exactly on youtube says put away your stuff yes put away is a very useful one put away you might hear uh teachers using this at school as well with uh little kids especially uh eversito on facebook says what is the meaning of pick up so again pick up the meaning is right here i include the meaning here to take something from the floor or to tidy okay uh igra says put away these glasses yeah oh and a spelling note make sure away is one word put away not put a way put away put away your glasses put away the pen nice ones everybody okay uh okie dokie put the dishes away yes good um what does out of milk mean it means we don't have any milk okay let's continue to a break it's break time so this is group one for today's lesson i will show you all of today's vocabulary words again in just a moment uh we have a bunch more to talk about but we'll take one quick break in case you missed it i'm pointing at this banner here on the screen get your guide to learn english at home if you have not seen it already our team put together

to pick up a marker uh to pick up the phone is another way to say it uh so these are we use them for we use pickup for objects in our house to pick up an object i'm going to pick up my phone i'm going to pick up my phone and check your comments i will pick up my laptop later i don't want to mess up anything now okay i hope that helps can we use getup to improve in something to get up no we don't really use get up to mean improve we would probably say i want to just improve my skills we don't really use get up to mean that we might say level up i suppose um will this video be available on youtube yes it will uh after the live stream this is being recorded so if you missed anything don't worry okay let's continue to part two part two okay part two uh if you missed it here i'll show you again sorry remote control desk don't freak out this is everything we're talking about today part one was here we just talked about now we're gonna talk about part two to do this group right here where my hand is so let's go ahead to part two part two let's go to this group you might notice a theme i have made part two uh phrasal verbs with turn so we're going to talk about turn on turn off turn up and turn down and then a bonus one that's kind of related okay so let's take a look i think maybe this is review for many of you but let's talk about how to use these phrasal verbs uh at your house inside your house specifically first one to turn on to turn on means to activate so activate that means like uh make the power come on uh or for a light like too sweet maybe you know switch on so i we tend to use turn on in american english like turn on the light or we also use this for music as in why don't you turn some music on why don't you turn some music on so this means to activate like to make something happen to turn on so we use this one a lot with uh like machines so my laptop like turn on the laptop or turn my laptop on okay uh so as you maybe can guess turn off is the opposite to deactivate to deactivate so that means like to remove the power from something so for example can you turn off the stove or he turned the movie off so you'll notice again both of these we can split and again by split i mean we can put the object between the verb and the preposition so turn some music on is okay or turned the movie off is okay okay good some of you are sending your examples i'm checking now uh turn on the fan yes uh turn on the fan is okay or turn the fan on it's okay okay um turn on the alexa nice one okay at night i turn off my cell phone perfect great job okay someone says estella says can you turn on the tv yes if it's like a machine like a computer your tv your phone whatever if it's a machine you can use turn on and turn off with that uh can you use this word with people yes i'm not going to talk about that meaning uh today generally though this is the same i chose these words specifically generally they have the same meaning when you're talking about people so yes you can't use that with people someone says turn on your brain yes i hope your brain i hope you turned on your brain to watch this lesson okay great i think you have it nice job everybody eduardo yes turn on the car is perfect perfect or start the car as well but turn on is okay okay let's go to turn up now so the next pair is turn up and turn down so to turn up and turn down turn up means to increase volume or power so we use this with music a lot please turn up the volume or she turned up the heat so this one she turned up the heat is one you can use in your kitchen so when you're cooking and you want the fire bigger you can say turn up the heat turn up the heat or maybe you might hear turn up the flame as well turn up the heat okay so the opposite as you can guess turn down means to decrease decrease means to go down to decrease volume or power for example turn down the music a little or he turned the room temperature down so temperature means how hot or cold the room is yeah so he turned the room temperature down means he decreased the room temperature okay nice examples everybody turn up the music says the chat okay great great great great yeah some people are saying oh someone wrote pop up the volume you might want pump up the volume pump up the volume yeah yeah okay uh good job oh someone slim main says when do we use switch you can use switch for switch on or switch off again switch is not as commonly used in american english which i speak but it is not incorrect you can totally use switch on or switch off to mean turn on or turn off okay uh can we use turn something to something yes to mean like to change something into something else you can yes uh turn up the ac yes good ones turn up the power yeah turn down for what says jake nice one okay i like your examples today very nice very nice turn down your voice am i loud i can whisper the rest of the lesson okay let's go to the last one here cut off this one is not a turn uh a turn phrasal verb i want to include cut off because it's kind of related um to today's topic to cut off means to stop or or to cut the end from something so these are actually two different meanings but you can use both of them in your house first let's look at the examples they cut off our electricity so this means they stopped our electricity so we use cut off to refer to like power so to cut off electricity or to cut off water or to cut off internet service or something like that or you can use this like in the kitchen for example cut off the end of the carrot so this part cut off the end of the carrot imagine like you're cutting in your kitchen and you with your knife you go and you take off imagine this is a carrot you take off just the end we use cut off to describe that so cut off the end of something you can use it for hair too like i need to cut off my hair cut off this part of my hair it means to remove the end of something to cut the end from something so i want to mention uh this one uh you can split as well actually i think all of these we can split so again to split means you can put the object between the verb and the preposition yes uh okay i'm checking your examples now uh adam on facebook says the government cut off funds to the organization very nice yes cut off funds so funds means money giving money to an organization very nice example great one okay uh the company cut off the water says dan on youtube very nice okay um cut off power yes very nice everybody yes you can cut off hair as i as i just mentioned fandorin fandoren says cut down on ah good one to cut down on something means to reduce the like the frequency with which you do something so for example let's say um you smoke a lot and you're like oh man i need to cut down on smoking that means i need to reduce how much i smoke or i need to decrease the frequency with which i smoke so cut down on yes you absolutely can use that okie dokie oh anim on facebook says cut off a relationship is that correct yes you can say to like to cut off a friendship or to cut off a relationship with someone like i had to cut off my relationship with my dad that's not your hi dad uh i had to cut off a relationship with my cousin you can which means you stop the relationship yes you can use this outside the house too to talk about people okay very nice uh all right sounds good everybody has some nice example sentences um good good good okay i will take one more short break and then we'll go to part three the last group of phrasal verbs uh okay if you missed it i will point one more time just to remind you about uh the free beginner level course that is on uh english class 101.com our team has made a 52-page workbook so that you can practice uh beginner level english for free with us we know many people are staying at home right now so there's act free access free access to the beginner level course on our website and a workbook so that you can practice so we hope that that is helpful for you to get it please check the link below the video if you're watching on youtube or above the video if you are watching on facebook above the chat so we hope that that helps you okay we'll go to the last part uh alexander what's up okie dokie i say that a lot okie dokie means okay it's a very casual way of saying okay okay um all right then with that let's go to part three i will show you again at today's list but um so we talked about this group part one today we just finished part two now we're going to go to part three the final group of phrasal verbs for today how exciting right okay uh i will get rid of this and we'll go on but um cool hair all right okay let's continue to part three for today i made part three kind of loosely cleaning themed isn't that exciting so you can use it in your house so let's continue oh also if you haven't please make sure to like and share the video so other people uh can find today's lesson i forgot to remind you all right onward uh okay so let's continue to group three part three for today uh loosely and when i loosely means like a little bit kind of so loosely cleaning themed first let's talk about these two i really wanted to talk about the difference between these two today they are clean up and clean off to clean up and to clean off essentially basically they have the same theme cleaning yes but there's a small difference that will help you sound more natural so to clean up means to make something clean to make clean like clean up the kitchen or past tense we cleaned up the house but to clean off means to clean a surface so a surface is like a table for example imagine this is a table and there's stuff on the table yeah and i want to clean it i can say clean up the table or i can say clean off the table which means remove the things from the surface so this is the nuance of to clean off to clean off a surface it can also be for a wall so like if i need to clean off this white board after my lesson i can say i have sorry i have to clean off the white board then i can talk to you so you can use clean off to talk about surfaces to clean off this is the difference between clean up and just clean and clean off oh ki doki i don't see questions yet okay good um let's go to the examples for clean off so i mentioned can you clean off the table can you clean off the table or i cleaned off the board um regarding splitting about these two for example clean the kitchen up or we cleaned the house up that's okay to do that's okay to do personally i think i don't really split it that much but i usually say clean up and then the object yeah someone uh some of you are sending your examples now clean up my apartment nice uh clean off the pavement oh okay good ah mahabhara sorry i hope i said that right on facebook says we should clean up our society nice one yes you can use this outside the house too um oh sushi says to clean off means like to remove something from the surface of something yes that is correct uh abdullah hello on youtube says can you clean off your screen yes exactly exactly uh good i think everybody has it okay let's continue to put on put on there are two uses of put on here to put on can mean to place clothes on your body to place clothes on your body so like i put on this shirt today i put on my pants today i put on a hat to place clothes on your body we also use put on to mean to play music for example put on a sweater or she put on a dress or hey can you put on some music or i want to put on some music so this means play to play some music or you could say turn on some music as well in this situation they all mean the same thing start music that's what it means okay um let's go on to our last group wow we're down to three already time flies okay um the next one is break down i wanted to include breakdown here for your house household use breakdown has several different meanings to make something smaller for today to make something smaller or to take apart to take something apart for example let's break down these boxes let's break down these boxes oh wow frank thanks very much for supporting us on youtube super cool okay so let's break down these boxes is when we use this expression when we have oh this is going to get complicated when we have a box and we need to throw it away but it's too big we can't throw it away like this so we cut it into pieces this making the box into pieces is called breaking down a box we use to break down to describe that to break down a box or to take apart to take something apart so we broke down our bookshelf again that means to remove the structure so it's not a bookshelf anymore it's just pieces we use breakdown to do that and past tense it's hard to see i know sorry we broke down broke down b-r-o-k-e broke down yes to break down also means like to start crying like crazy like you have a really bad day or a really bad week and you just melt that's also a breakdown we can also use the phrasal verb to break down to describe that also i just used the noun form here breakdown you might hear uh the expression she had a breakdown when you want to use it as a noun remove the space actually this is a very common theme i'm going to talk about later so break down when you want to use it as a verb breakdown no space if you want to use it as a noun cool cool cool yeah why do some people say i had a nervous breakdown it means you just you became so nervous or so anxious you started to cry and like you couldn't go to work or school it was a really tough time okay final two take out take out so to take out means to remove from a place as in take out the trash or he took out the recycling this verb we can split so take the trash out is okay or take the recycling out or he took the recycling out is also okay to use to take out means to remove from a place also i'll i'll say it now i guess it's easier take out as a phrasal verb this way there's a space between take and out yeah just like with breakdown if you want to use take out as a noun like to talk about getting food from a restaurant like many of us are doing now we say i want to get takeout in that case when you use it as a noun no space no space here take out is the spelling to make a phrasal verb put a space between take and out okay finally finally okay i'm looking for your examples uh oh yeah muhammad on facebook has another meaning for a breakdown we didn't talk about it means to stop working like my car broke down yeah it means to stop working good point okay let's go to the last one dry off dry off to dry off means to make something dry to make something dry for example dry off your hands or let the dishes dry off so we use dry and dry off often interchangeably like dry your hands is okay or let the dishes dry is also okay dry off sounds a little bit more like it's not a big deal it's a little more casual like dry off your hands it just sounds a little a little less uh i guess formal it dry isn't formal but dry off just sounds a little more like relaxed so that's the difference in feeling between dry and dry off [Music] and also oh yeah we can split this one so dry your hands off is okay to use you can't do that okay uh corey says i'm coming from the swimming pool so i have to dry off my hair yeah yeah dry off my hair okay um others others others others okay i don't see others yet uh dry off the clothes yeah okay someone marco says how can i use takeout please ah so take out as in like um i just talked about oh yeah take out so take out we talked about remove removing something from your house like to take out the trash or to take out the garbage or to take out the recycling take out means food from a restaurant that you take out of the restaurant so we say i want to get takeout or let's get take out that's how we usually use takeout okay uh ernesto yes some phrasal verbs you can split the verb from the preposition some you cannot okay daniel on facebook says what does dry mean so to dry something means to remove the moisture from something like dry your hair with someone's example or dry your hands or dry your clothes it means so after you wash something usually you dry something cool cool okay i don't see any more questions and i have to end the lesson oh my gosh can you believe our time is already up oh my gosh it goes so quick so i have to finish
