Phrasal verbs …and zombies!

Your lesson starts now. hello, wake up. Do you know you are don’t get up you’re safe here the zombies are out there. And they can’t get in. So, you’re safe. Don’t even speak English I don’t think they speak English. Hola, Guten tag, Nihao, Hello, Amici whoa. Hang on how we gonna teach them how to survive. They don’t even speak English. Phrasal verbs. Get see Jack phrasal verb blessing Dan.

Okay, we’ll just give them survival tips like it’s a phrasal verb lesson it yeah. You do that. I’ll do me. So, what is a phrasal verb? What is a verb and a preposition? The meaning isn’t always obvious. But, the preposition can have a common meaning. So, if you understand the common meanings of these prepositions. Then you’ll probably understand what the phrasal verb means. For example, your first tip. Let’s look at phrasal verbs with up the up preposition we always listen to the radio to see if there are any other survivors in the area. so, for example, listen Tom.

Turn the radio up. See I say turn the radio up. Phrasal verbs with up, means an increase. So, turn up, increase the volume. Here’s your second tip. You need to be careful of zombies. There are so many and recently the number of zombies around this area has really increased. How could I say with a phrasal verb? Well, I could say the number of zombie attacks has gone up. So, you see the common meaning of up is an increase of something. But, that doesn’t mean every phrasal verb with up means increase. Sometimes the meaning is random and has no logical sense.

For example, turn up, could mean increase the volume. But, turn up can also mean appear. Another thing about phrasal verbs we could say the word, appear, but in English it’s more common to say turn up to say it the phrasal verb. Way another one could be like the word quit. Yeah, I could say I quit something. But, the phrasal verb, give up also means quit and it’s more common. Like I give rise. For example, I’m giving up a life, because of all. I’m sorry he’s really pessimistic. Don’t listen to him. Okay, so, if up, if the common meaning is an increase. What do you think about, I think I hear zombie, Tom, Tom.

Okay, if turn-up means an increase in volume, how can I say decrease the volume? Yeah, Tom, turn down the volume. And again the common meaning is decreased. But, turned down to mean another thing it can be reject. For example, my girlfriend I wanted to marry her and she just turned me down. Anyway, a year azam be coming we have to keep our voices down. So, to clarify two things. First thing the preposition down in phrasal verbs usually means a decrease and secondly it’s always more common to use a phrasal verb. For example, with stairs we could say, descend the stairs.

Ascend the stairs. Sure, but, that sounds strange and it would be more common to use the phrasal verb way go down the stairs. Go up the stairs. now, another common meaning of down is is associated with negative feelings. For example, to put someone down or bring someone down. It’s to make them feel bad. Usually with your words, with insults. Perhaps to let someone down it’s to disappoint them. For example, Tom always disappoints me. Tom always lets me down. Hey, see that shelter over there? Let’s go in there. So, with the phrasal verb and a preposition in means to enter a building or enter a thing.

Yeah, that’s the most common meaning of phrasal verbs with a preposition in to enter a building or enter something, to get in or to go in. It means to enter something. Keep the preposition in. Which means enter, change the verb. It changes how you enter something. for example, go in is normal. But, break in that’s when someone Rob’s a house they go into a house, which isn’t theirs. They break in or move in. You change house. You enter your new house. You move in. You move in to your new house or your contact lenses you enter them into your eye. You put them in your eye.

Other meanings of in could be like, fit in. When someone is socially accepted by a group. For example, you’re cool I think you’re going to fit in with us. Or to sleep in, when you choose to sleep later than you should. For example, I didn’t want to wake up early today. so, I slept in. Tom give him another example, so, for example, you need to get in that building. See this weapon, there take that out. So, the phrasal verb with a preposition out, means to remove or to exit. So, in the opposite way of in out has the feeling of exiting something or maybe removing something from your pocket. You take something out of your pocket. It was inside something, you take it out.

Other examples could be like, get out, you exit a place. Get out of a building. You exit a building. When you change house and you leave your house.

I wanted to buy the new iPhone. But, they sold out. So, again, emptiness other random meanings of out. Workout, means exercise. You go to the gym.

You work out. Chill out, means to relax. When we’re not running away from zombies. We like to chill out. To pass out, that’s when you lose consciousness. Sometimes when I see blood. I pass out or to knock out to cause someone else to lose consciousness. For example, in a fight someone knocked someone out. If you understand the common meanings of the prepositions. You’ll understand a lot of phrasal verbs. So, go in then. Bring your head out. Okay, so we can take it from here. Do you understand? Good, Hey look when this happens when a zombie comes up to you. It’s easy, take out your gun. Shoot it. zombies down. Now, now, we need to escape. We need to move to a different place. The preposition with escape or move to a different place or even pry is a way.

For example, back away in the opposite direction of something what get away from a situation you escaped a situation. we need to move away or only go. We need to run away. You run away from that. That’s true. we need to run. We need to be very fast. You okay? Hey, you get over, cause that way on the next phrasal verbs and zombies you have to remember that zombies. They will never quit and now you feel that now they will continue trying to get you until you’re dead. I’m over it. I just want to quit. But you just need to finish with those feelings.
