Do phrasal verbs leave you feeling totally confused?

Do you ever feel completely overwhelmed by how many you have to learn?

Today, I'm going to teach you 20 phrasal verbs for daily life.

You'll be happy to know that I have categorized these phrasal verbs into sections.

Don't forget to watch to the end of the video because I have two wonderful words for you, actually.

Both of them advanced and both of them to do with this video.

A phrasal verb, in case you didn't know, is a verb that comes with a preposition and they come together as a pair.

So an example of a verb could be come or go or break and a preposition example could be across, up or on.

The formal words have been replaced with the phrasal verb equivalent.

Participate has been replaced with the phrasal verb take part, to take part in something.

Well, it's a process of making our spoken English less formal, more natural, I suppose, so that we can all use it together and there's not so much division between people using the language.

That's a whole other subject though, which is very interesting.

So now guys, let me show you the 20 phrasal verbs that I use every day and that are essential to learn in your phrasal verb journey.

When we want to become less hot or less warm, we need to use this phrasal verb.

Recently, it's been really hot in the UK.

So to cool down, I like to jump in the swimming pool.

If you're lucky enough to have a swimming pool, you can easily jump in to cool down.

In the wintertime, I like to warm up by making myself a hot cup of cocoa or putting on a really chunky jumper.

But whether you need to cool down or warm up, you need these phrasal verbs.

This phrasal verb is about meeting a friend or a family member in a social setting.

On the weekend, I like meeting up with a friend for brunch or coffee.

If we're making a suggestion, we might say, Let's meet up.

So to catch up with someone is to find out what they've been doing in their life.

After a period of time where you haven't seen them much, you need to sort of find out what they've been up to.

You know that feeling when you can't go to a social event for some reason, maybe due to illness, or it just clashes with another thing that you're doing, and you have this feeling where you're sad because you're not at that event.

Oh, I missed out on some fun yesterday, for example.

This means to make something bigger on the screen, to enlarge something.

You might know this already because it's so part of daily life.

I mean, I'm always zooming in on things to make them bigger.

If I can't see something clearly on the screen, I'm likely to zoom in.

Sometimes we say, Let me just zoom in a second.

If you're giving a presentation at work and you have a PowerPoint, sometimes we need these phrasal verbs.

These phrasal verbs have become part of daily life with the rise of social media and everyone working from home on a screen.

I'm sure you know these already, but just in case you don't, to scroll down is to move the screen down if you're looking at lots of things, like on Instagram or on Google.

Sometimes when you're in a meeting at work, you need to just make a note.

Sometimes we say that instead to make a note is to write something down.

Jot down is actually a little bit different.

It means to write something down quickly.

So it's about the speed of making the note.

These are part of daily life as well, so we must learn some phrasal verbs for them.

A sad one to start with, but this is when two people separate.

And separate is the formal word that would have been used instead of break up.
