Today, we are going to talk to you about
three different phrasal verbs and their
different meanings with...
Hello and welcome to our global classroom.
We have an amazing lesson for you today on phrasal verbs.
But first I'd like to remind you to
join our social media classes. It is a great way to
practice and improve your English skills.
Phrasal verbs can be challenging for learners of all levels.
And this is because one phrasal verb
might have several different meanings.
Such as the ones we will talk about today.
And it's usually the preposition that
follows the verb that trips people up.
But hopefully after this lesson, you will have
a better understanding of these three phrasal verbs.
And feel a little more confident
using them in conversation or writing.
One thing to note about these phrasal verbs
is that they are inseparable.
And that just means that the object
that follows the phrasal verb
cannot go between the verb and the preposition.
They must stay together just as they are right now.
So we're going to tell you how each of these
phrasal verbs is used, give you the meaning,
and some example sentences.
And at the end we'll do a practice.
So let's begin.
First, let's begin with GET UP.
This phrasal verb has two meanings.
The one that you may already be familiar with
is to arise from bed and get to your feet.
Don't confuse this with "wake up"
which is the moment when you stop sleeping
and open your eyes.
GET UP is when you physically get out of bed in the morning.
Me...personally, in the morning
and then I just spend, you know,
10 or 15 minutes in bed
and then I get up.
So a common way to use this phrasal verb is...
Another meaning of GET UP is
"to climb or be elevated to a higher position."
So if I'm down here, maybe I need to get up there.
The next phrasal verb I'd like to teach you
is GET AWAY.
This means to "move away from something or someone."
Many times this phrasal verb is used in
imperative sentences when someone gives a command.
GET AWAY can also mean "to leave or escape."
And this could be used literally or figuratively.
We can also add "with" to "get away"
and then we have a three-word phrasal verb.
GET AWAY WITH
This has a slightly different meaning
which is "to escape the consequences of something."
Maybe you do something bad and someone tells you...
The final phrasal verb I'd like to look at is
GET OVER
This means "to recover from something."
Usually an injury or illness and return
to your normal state of health.
GET OVER also means
"to overcome a situation or an issue that is causing problems."
We hope you have a better understanding of those
three phrasal verbs, but now we'd like to
practice what we've learned.
So this is going to be a
listening comprehension activity.
I'm going to say a sentence without the phrasal verb.
And I want you to point to the correct
phrasal verb that completes the sentence.
I'm going to say each sentence twice
and then I will reveal the answer.
Let's begin!
Number 1 - Ioana is so tired.
What time did she _____ this morning?
Ioana is so tired.
What time did she _____ this morning?
The answer is GET UP.
We are talking about getting out of bed
and getting on your feet.
So you should have pointed at GET UP.
Number 2 - I'm so sad.
I can't _____ the fact that I lost my job.
I'm so sad.
I can't _____ the fact that I lost my job.
In this sentence, we're talking about
overcoming an issue, so the answer is GET OVER.
Number 3 - My little brother is always bothering me.
And I can't seem to _____ from him.
My little brother is always bothering me.
But I can't seem to _____ from him.
The answer is GET AWAY.
In this sentence, we're talking about
putting distance between me and my little brother.
Number 4 - I don't how the cat was able to _____ there.
I don't how the cat was able to _____ there.
We're talking about the cat being in a higher
or elevated position.
So the answer is GET UP.
Number 5 - They've been working really hard lately
so they decided to _____ for a few days and go to the beach.
They've been working really hard lately so they
decided to _____ for a few days and go to the beach.
The answer is GET AWAY.
We're talking about taking a vacation
and escaping for a few days.
GET AWAY
Number 6 - I know you're scared.
But you need to _____ it and face your fears.
I know you're scared.
But you need to _____ it and face your fears.
When you're scared, you need to GET OVER
or overcome your fears.
So GET OVER is the answer.
Hopefully you did really well on that practice.
And please feel free to try it again
and listen for the missing phrasal verb.
This is a great way to practice your
listening comprehension skills
or you could say the sentences aloud
and that will help you practice your speaking and pronunciation.
And remember...SHARING IS CARING.
If you enjoyed this lesson, please share it
with your fellow English learners.
Thanks for watching! And we'll see you next time.
