Learn the 20 most common phrasal verbs that native speakers use daily.
Hi everyone! Emily here, and today we're talking about phrasal verbs. These are verbs + prepositions that create new meanings.
Let's start with "get." "Get up" means to wake up. "Get along with" means to have a good relationship. "Get over" means to recover from something.
Next, "look." "Look after" means to take care of. "Look forward to" means to be excited about something. "Look up" means to search for information.
Now, "put." "Put on" means to wear something. "Put off" means to postpone. "Put up with" means to tolerate something annoying.
"Take" is very versatile. "Take off" means to remove clothing OR when a plane leaves the ground. "Take after" means to resemble someone. "Take up" means to start a hobby.
"Turn" phrases: "Turn up" means to arrive or increase volume. "Turn down" means to reject or decrease volume. "Turn on/off" means to activate or deactivate.
"Break" phrases: "Break down" means to stop working (for machines). "Break up" means to end a relationship. "Break out" means something suddenly starts, like a fight.
Pro tip: Don't try to learn all phrasal verbs at once. Learn 2-3 per week in context.
That's all! See you next time!

سلام دوستان! من امیلی هستم و امروز درباره افعال ترکیبی صحبت میکنیم. اینا فعل‌ها + حرف اضافه هستن که معانی جدید میدن.
بیایید با "get" شروع کنیم. "Get up" یعنی بیدار شدن. "Get along with" یعنی رابطه خوب داشتن. "Get over" یعنی بهبود پیدا کردن از چیزی.
بعدی، "look." "Look after" یعنی مراقبت کردن. "Look forward to" یعنی هیجان‌زده بودن از چیزی. "Look up" یعنی دنبال اطلاعات گشتن.
حالا، "put." "Put on" یعنی پوشیدن چیزی. "Put off" یعنی به تعویق انداختن. "Put up with" یعنی تحمل کردن چیز آزاردهنده.
"Take" خیلی همه‌کاره‌ست. "Take off" یعنی درآوردن لباس یا وقتی هواپیما از زمین بلند میشه. "Take after" یعنی شبیه کسی بودن. "Take up" یعنی شروع کردن یک سرگرمی.
عبارات "turn": "Turn up" یعنی رسیدن یا زیاد کردن صدا. "Turn down" یعنی رد کردن یا کم کردن صدا. "Turn on/off" یعنی روشن/خاموش کردن.
عبارات "break": "Break down" یعنی از کار افتادن (برای ماشین‌ها). "Break up" یعنی تمام کردن رابطه. "Break out" یعنی یهو شروع شدن چیزی، مثل دعوا.
نکته حرفه‌ای: سعی نکنید همه افعال ترکیبی رو یکجا یاد بگیرید. هفته‌ای ۲-۳ تا رو در متن یاد بگیرید.
امروز همین بود! تا قسمت بعد!
