After the story, I’ll show you more ways to use each one (run out of milk or time, pick up your kids, show up for school, head out from a party), then test your fluency. Fluency is the difference between knowing a list and knowing how to use it. To finish, I’ll give you three steps for learning ANY phrasal verb: connect it to your day, think about the situation first, and then turn your daily routine into practice. Try it: in the comments, tell us about your day with at least three of these phrasal verbs. https://www.engvid.com/7-english-phrasal-verbs-you-can-use-every-day/ More of my videos about phrasal verbs: https://youtu.be/pJhCJl4CDs8 https://youtu.be/03VD4PvnwiA In this lesson: 0:00 7 Phrasal Verbs for Your Day 0:57 Form: Learn the Phrasal Verbs 3:16 How to Use the Phrasal Verbs 7:04 More Ways to Use the Phrasal Verbs 9:46 Fluency Test 11:30 Frame: How to Think About Learning Vocabulary 14:37 Fieldwork: Homework! TRANSCRIPT:"When do I use them?" What the...? Hi. James from engVid, he's asking me when do I use them, and he's talking about these phrasal verbs. I'm going to help you today to learn these phrasal verbs, and I'm sure some of you already are saying I know them, but did anyone teach you when to use them? Getting lists of vocabulary and phrasal verbs seems like a good thing to do, but it's quite useless. It's like collecting different types of money, but you don't live in those countries. You got lots, but you can't use it. I'm going to change that today, and when I'm done, you'll be able to use all of these phrasal verbs today. Not tomorrow, not next week - today. In fact, when you've done the lesson, you might be able to use one right away. Let's go to the board. All right, so what are we looking at? I'm going to explain what these are and then help you figure out how to use them. So, the first thing we're going to say is "run out of". When you run out of something, it means you have no more. Okay? You can run out of time, you can run out of money, you can run out of sugar, so you don't have any more of it. All right? That's the first one. Now, what is "look for"? When you look for something, you're trying to find something, or you remember it is in an area but not quite, so you look for it. When you know where something is, you just go and get it. Right? I know where my phone is. I don't say "look for", but if I put my phone somewhere and I go, "It could be on the couch, it could be in the kitchen", I'm going to look for it, I'm going to try to find it. All right? Pick up. Now, when you pick something up, like... Here's a pen. If it drops, I... I've got to pick it up. It's not as funny as it seems. All right. So, you pick something up, you take it from one area, remove it to another area. So, I can pick up the... In the old days, we used to pick up the phone, because it was on the wall, you'd pick it up and speak. Now, you don't, unless your phone is on a table, then you pick up your phone. But "pick it up" is usually to talk and use it. Yeah? So, pick up. Show up. We use "show up" to arrive. When did you arrive? What time did he show up? What time did they get there? Show up. Came up. When something came up... Sometimes if you eat a pizza too late at night and have something else too much pop, maybe you eat it and it comes back up. Right? That's not what that means here. Come up here means something came up is a situation happened that you were not expecting. All right? I was going to come to your house for dinner tonight, but something came up so I couldn't make it. Right? I don't know, maybe I had to work late or what have you. Head out. Well, here's my head. Okay? So, I'm talking to you now. If I head out, I'm going to go this way and leave, so my head will go in the direction where I'm leaving. And finally, after I head out, I might get back in an hour. Hi. I'm back. Phrasal verb for "get back". Great. Now you've said "thanks", you've told me seven phrasal verbs. You promised you would tell me when to use them. Yes, I shall teach you how. You will notice there are times here. This is basically like most people's day. You get up in the morning, tired, slept all night, got to go to work soon. You go downstairs, go to the kitchen, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do, put the hot water, get ready, where's the coffee? Elmira, where's the coffee? Elmira, we have coffee? Yeah, baby, we ran out of coffee. We run out? Why didn't you tell me? We don't have any more? We run out? Yeah, we run out. Oh, man, how am I going to get to work if I run out of coffee? Elmira. Ow, I'm so tired, I don't have coffee. I've got to go. My friend's going to come soon. Where are my keys? Elmira, where are the keys? You put them in the living room by the table.
