ring up to mean total to total something to total a bill to total the amount of something at a restaurant or shopping - for example so again this is a word that waitstaff the staff the restaurant may use so when you finish your meal they will ring up your bill they will ring up your total and you will pay that amount at the end of your immune so in a sentence I'll ring up your bill at the cash register set down the next phrasal verb is set down set down so we use set down for items which we are carrying and then we set or we place a table so usually there's like a downward motion if you're carrying something like you can use it for a backpack if you want to like to set down to to drop something to leave something but to put it in like on a table to put it in a place specifically there so we can use set down at a restaurant like please set the plate down on the table or can you set down my drink over there or I'll set down your order over here so set down means to place something us something you were carrying to place it on a table or to place it on a desk so set it down in a sentence please set down the plates carefully cut up the next phrasal verb is cut up cut up we use cut up to mean cut but cut up usually means to cut all of something so if you receive like mono chicken or beef or pork or some large item you need to cut we say cut up to mean cut the entire piece to cut everything you receive so in a sentence make sure to cut up steak into small pieces for example it's easier for children to eat or I take a long time to cut up my meat for example so cut up means cut everything cut into the next phrasal verb is cut into so to cut into means just to make one slice into something usually we use cut into four like the first slice like we use it maybe to check that a something is properly cooked sometimes so like to cut into a chicken or to cut into turkey we usually use this for the first slice so the first experience like when I cut into the chicken all the juices came out it looked delicious I'm excited to cut into my Thanksgiving turkey this year or I'm really looking forward to cutting into that steak later it looked great so cut into is kind of that first cut that initial cut where you can see maybe what the what the meat looks like or you get you get a sense of how the rest of your meal is going to taste so into the first slice I want to cut into my dinner later stop up the next phrasal verb is stop up stop up so to stop means to soak with liquid to soak with liquid to stop up therefore it's like to to soak to soak liquid from like a bowl or from a cup or something but we use this with bread usually so if you're eating soup for example and there is leftover soup in your bowl you can take bread and soft up soak up the liquid from your soup with bread so to stop up liquid so to soak and pick up something is the image here so to stop up bread so for example I like to stop up my soup with bread or I like to stop up extra sauce with a biscuit for example so usually there's some bread and some sauce or liquid we use with this phrase cool down the next phrasal verb is cooled down cooled down means to let something become lower temperature naturally so to let something cool down really means to allow something to gradually go to a lower temperature if you make a pie for example it's very hot when it comes out of the oven so oftentimes the recipe will say allow to cool down and serve for example so meaning after the pie is taken from the oven you should let the temperature cool you should let the temperature come down before eating so to cool down is like reducing the temperature but just naturally over time so in a sentence make sure to let your mashed potatoes cool down before you try to eat them heat up so the next phrasal verb is heat up heat up we use heat up usually to talk about microwave use or oven use so it's taking a cold food or maybe your frozen food usually just a cold food kept in the refrigerator put it in the microwave and turn it on to heat the food to make it warm again so to heat up is like to move the heat level up to increase the temperature of the food we use the phrasal verb heat up to do this so for example I like to heat up my pizza before I eat it my leftover pizza or you should heat up yesterday's soup it would be really good to have that tonight or maybe we should heat up something quick for dinner tonight so heat up means to increase the temperature of a cold thing chow down so the next phrasal verb is sort of a slang expression it's Chow down chow down means like to eat really excitedly it's it's not a phrasal verb I personally use very much but you can use it to express your enthusiasm for something so it's typically used for like sort of junk food type things or like really really um everyday foods like in in the USA it's like sandwiches or hotdogs or like something you might get it like a sporting event will say like I want to chow down on a sandwich later or I want to chow down on some pizza after this so to chow down is like enthusiastically eats like you're not thinking about being polite you're not worried about looking nice while you eat you're just enjoying eating very enthusiastically so like oh let's chow down on some pizza later for example so or for example like we're gonna chow down on some barbecue this weekend it'll be
