Hello everyone and welcome back to English with Lucy.

Today, I’m going to talk to you about all the phrasal verbs that go with turn.

So the first one, pretty easy, we have to turn on. And this means to start a device by switching it on. That’s a synonym. For example: Can you turn off the lights when you leave please? Also note that to turn on a person means to excite them emotionally, And physically. But I’m sure if you are interested in that then you can google it yourself. I’m not talking about it here.

Then we have number two, to turn off. This means to stop a device by switching it off. For example: Turn off the TV and listen to me. And it can also mean to really not excite somebody emotionally or physically.

Now, slightly more difficult, to turn out. To turn out means to result or to end up. For example: Oh, I thought my homework was gonna turn out better than this. I thought my homework was going to end up better than this.

Number four. Pretty simple, to turn around. I almost fell over. To turn around means to rotate, to physically rotate something. For example: Turn around, you’ve left the label in your jacket. A situation can also turn around. You can also turn back, and this is to return to a previous state of being. For example: Once you move out, there’s no turning back. You cannot return to living with me. Once you move out, you can’t turn back.

We also have to turn against, and to turn against means to oppose, often suddenly.

So someone who was your friend might turn against you and become your enemy. For example: We were great friends and then she turned against me and started gossiping about me.

Then we have to turn in, and this means to submit something or to give something. For example. I want you all to turn in your homework on Monday morning. Next, we have to turn down, and this means to refuse, decline or reject something. For example. I asked him out but he turned me down, he rejected me.
