10 phrasal verb
Get on and there's many more phrasal verbs with the word get so each of these have a different meaning they are phrasal verbs because they each have a preposition the preposition changes the meaning of the verb get so get up means something completely different than get off get over and get on so in today's lesson we are going to cover ten of the most common phrasal verbs we use in daily conversation and talking about our daily routines so the first phrasal verb I'm going to teach you today is one of my favorites and that is because it is my favorite thing to do in the world what am I talking about sleep in so I love to sleep and I love to sleep as late as possible on the weekend so that's what I mean by sleep in on the weekend I sleep in until well for me maybe not 11 AM but 10 AM on the weekend I sleep in until 10 AM what does this mean well usually I wake up very early usually I wake up at 6:00 AM but on the weekend I sleep longer than usual I stay in my bed longer than usual so that's what I mean by sleep in it's when you stay in your bed later than usual so you'll notice the preposition here is in the the verb is sleep together sleep in makes appraisal verb and here I have the definition again it means to stay in bed asleep longer than usual do you like to sleep in maybe you can write about that in the comments below the next phrasal verb I have here is get up so get up is usually the next thing we do in the morning when we get up it means we leave our bed I don't know about you I usually get up at 6:00 AM and that's because I have a dog who wakes me up so I get up at 6:00 AM maybe some people get up at 7:00 AM but this is again a really important phrasal verb to learn because every day we talk about what time did we get up I got up at 6:00 AM today yesterday I got up at 8:00 AM so the very important phrasal verb the next phrasal verb is one that maybe many of you don't know and that is the phrasal verb head so when you say the word head you probably think of this thing that's your head but head can also be a verb the verb head has different meanings in this case the verb head plus out means to leave the house so for many people who have work they head out in the morning I head out at 8:00 AM that's the time I leave my house so head out has a similar meaning to leave.
And again in this case what is the preposition our preposition is out what is the verb head together head and out equals a phrasal verb so I head out at 8:00 AM what time do you head out at in the morning alright now let's look at some other phrasal verbs we use when we talk about our everyday routines this next phrasal verb I use a lot because it has to do with lunch so every day at lunch I take my lunch out of the refrigerator I go to the microwave and I heat up my lunch So what does this mean heat up has the word heat in it heat is a verb and it means to make something hot there's different ways to make food hot for example you might use an oven or a microwave but heat up means that you are making food hot and usually that food is leftovers leftovers is food that you have already cooked and put in the fridge now you are taking that food out of the fridge and making it hot again so if you think about this you make your lunch maybe the night before work then you go to work you put your lunch in the refrigerator when you take out your lunch and you put it in the microwave we call that heating up our food so I heat up my lunch in a microwave I might say to my friends at work oh you know I'll meet you for lunch soon I need to heat up my lunch so this means I need to make my lunch warm or hot by using a microwave or an apple OK the next phrasal verb is a very important one I talked to many learners about exercise and I know many of you like to exercise which is great there is a great phrasal verb we can use that has the same meaning as exercise and that is the phrasal verb work out so workout in this case work is the verb out is the preposition together they make a phrasal verb so workout means exercise I work out every day and workout can be different types of exercise it might be lifting weights it might be running or jogging so there are different ways to work out now this next word actually has to do with working out as well and that is the word warm up so warm can be it it's a verb up it's a preposition together these make up phrasal verbs warm up So what is the meaning of the phrasal verb warm up well it means preparing for an activity so for example before I workout or before I run I might walk this is preparing me for running so that is an example of warming up sometimes before I work out I stretch my arms I might do some jumping jacks so it's light activity or light exercise to prepare for working out we also use this maybe in the classroom your teacher might give you some exercises or activities to do to to wake up your brain so if your teacher might give you something too warm to help you warm up so it's a light or an easy version of an activity that you do to prepare yourself so we've now covered six different phrasal verbs we're going to cover four more that are very important to your everyday routine
So this next phrasal verb I use a lot and that is meet up with somebody so we have here the verb meet we have a preposition up together they make a phrasal verb the meaning of the phrasal verb meet up is essentially it's the same like meat but we use it more informally so this is the type of verb we will use when we talk about seeing our friends or seeing people socially it's a very social burg we use it when we're talking about seeing people in a social context so I meet up with my friends at the cafe one way to remember this verb is if you think about the TV show friends the fixed friends Rachel Ross Monica Chandler Joey and Phoebe every day I think they would meet up at a coffee shop so if you can think about what those friends did every day you can remember this verb they meet up at a coffee shop the next phrasal verb is an important one as well go out so you probably know the verb go though is a very important verb in English it's usually one of the first birds people learn go out has a bit of a different meaning because remember when we take a verb and we add a preposition we create a new phrasal verb So what does go out mean well it means to leave the house specifically so I go out at 8:30 PM this means I leave my house at 8:30 PM you know sometimes we talk about teenagers what time are you going out at if you have if you know a teenager teenagers love going out this means they love leaving the house to see their friends the next phrasal verb is sort of along the same lines go out means to leave the house get in means to return to your home so this one is to leave where I get in is to return home so I get in at 10:00 PM you might talk about this in the past last night I went to a party I I got in at about midnight so this means return home and again we have that word get which is you know the verb we have in which is the preposition together what do we call them we call get in a phrasal verb OK so now we are going to look at the very last phrasal verb of our daily routines that we will talk about today so this next phrasal verb is my momma's favorite favorite phrasal verb and that is the phrasal verb tidy up So what does it mean to tidy up well it means to organize your things and to put things in the proper place so if you are a messy person maybe you have an apartment and it's a little messy and you have people coming to visit you probably want to tidy up your apartment so it's another way to say clean but we're talking more about organizing and putting you know your clothes into the closet maybe if you have the books on the table you pick them up and put them on the bookcase so when you tidy up you put things into the right place where they're supposed to go so here's a simple example I tidy up my apartment especially before people come over so we have covered 10 important phrasal verbs we use in everyday conversation so I wanted to thank you for watching and I also would like to invite you to take our quiz so you can get more practice on these verbs you can take our quiz at www.ingrid.com you can also subscribe to my YouTube channel there you will find a lot more resources and videos on all sorts of topics related to learning languages and learning English you can also check out my website at www.teacheremma.com there you can find some free resources on a variety of different English topics so thank you so much for watching and until next time take care
