- Do you know what a 'phrasal verb' is? In this lesson, I will explain what a phrasal verb is, and teach you the most common phrasal verbs native speakers use to talk about clothing. I will teach you 'dress up', 'zip up', 'do up', 'wear in', 'kick off', 'have on', and many more! Phrasal verbs can be difficult for English learners to remember. Watch this lesson and then take the quiz, so that you'll remember them all! www.engvid.com/12-phrasal-ver...
TRANSCRIPT
Hi, there. My name is Emma, and in today's video, I am going to teach you some phrasal verbs about getting dressed and putting on clothes. Okay? So it's about clothes. What's a phrasal verb? A phrasal verb is when you have a verb and you have a preposition. So it's a verb plus preposition is a phrasal verb. Students usually hate phrasal verbs. There's so many of them in English and they're very difficult to remember. So, in this video, I'm going to teach you maybe 12 or 13 phrasal verbs that will really help you to improve your English.
So let's get started. The first verb I want to teach you is: "dress up". Okay. "Dress up". What does it mean "to dress up"? When you dress up, maybe you have a hot, hot date. Maybe there's the boy or the girl of your dreams and you want to look good - you will dress up, meaning you will wear something that looks extra good. So, for example, right now, I'm wearing this sweater, not dressed up. If I wanted to dress up, oh, look here, maybe I would put on this nice dress. Okay? So dress up. Here's my sentence:
"I have a date. I have a date. I should dress up tonight."
Okay.
"Zip up". So again: "dress up", "zip up". What does "zip up" mean? Well, I'll show you. Did you see that? "Zipping up" means you have a zipper and you pull it up.
"Zip up! It's cold!"
Mothers love to say this to their children: "Zip up your jacket so you won't be cold."
Very similar to zip up, is: "button up". When you "button up" something, you don't zip up, you have buttons. So let me show you. So I will take off my sweater and I will put on a new jacket with buttons. Okay, so if I button up my jacket... Maybe... Where is the button? Okay, here we go. Just like this. Okay? So I buttoned up my jacket. Okay, good.
"I should button up my jacket."
The next expression I want to teach you: "do up". So all of these: "up", "up", "up", "up". If you "do something up", it means you either button it up or you zip up. "Do up" means the same thing as "zip up" and "button up".
"I must do up my jacket."
Means: I should button up my jacket, do up your jacket. Okay? It's all the same.
"Have on".
"What do you have on right now?"
It means the same thing as: "wearing". What are you wearing? What do you have on? Pay special attention, the preposition is: "on". Okay? So tell me, what does Emma have on right now? Emma has a hat on. Well, it's not exactly a hat; it's a shower cap. I like to take baths, so this is for the shower.
"Put on".
"I put on my hat."
Okay? When you put something on, it's just putting on. "I put on my hat."
What's the opposite of: "put on"? Oh, I don't have it here. Well, you will see it in a moment. But I put on - "take off". I took off my hat.
Next expression: "throw on".
"I threw on my hat."
Can you guess what this means? If I "throw it on", it means I do it quickly. Okay? "I threw on my hat and I ran out the door.", "I threw on my hat and I went to school.", "I threw on my jacket and I went to school." So it means you put on clothes very quickly. I'm going to take off my hat. I think it's a little too colourful.
"Try on". What does it mean "to try something on"? If you ever go to a store and you see: "Oh, look at that dress. It's the most beautiful dress." I'm going to try it on, meaning I'm going to put it on at the store to see if I like it. So "try on" is for shopping. You usually go to a small room, a fitting room, and you see if you like the outfit by putting it on. So it's about stores.
"At the store, I tried on a shirt.", "At the store, I tried on the shoes, I tried on the hat." So this is the expression: "try on".
Again: "on", "on", "on", "on". And the first four were: "up", "up", "up", "up". It's very important that you use the correct prepositions. If I say: "Do down", or: "do in", or: "do off", these maybe don't make any sense or they have different meanings. So the preposition is what makes the meaning. So let me teach you some more expressions about getting dressed.
Okay, so I already explained: "take off", but I wanted you to see how it's spelt. "Take off". I took off my hat, now I have no hat.
"I took off my jacket."
Means to take off your jacket. Okay, so it's the opposite of: "put on". I put on my hat and I took off my hat.
well, there's a trick about Prepositions with transportation which is (anything you can walk in it) Use = "On" for instance :
( "on the bus", "On the subway", "On the ship" and "on the plane), On the contrary (anything you CAN NOT walk in it) Use = in
for instance : ("In the car", "in a truck" and "in a helicopter") >> so bottom line : If you must sit inside the vehicle, we use in.
(it is almost impossible to stand in them.) --------- If you can stand or walk on the vehicle, then we use on.
i hope that's helpful for anybody! and of course ,, i agree with you ,, we have to learn prepositons in context ... ^_^
Thank very much teacher I am confused but now you resolve the problem
@@mysarababekir569 : You are welcome. Thanks
How about for motorcycle sir? Is it ride on or ride in? Because I often use "on" for motorcycles. Im not sure if im right.
@@benzfx4903 : Consider motorcycle a beast of burden i.e horse etc. so you will ride on the motorcycle.
@christopher angeles : Are you interested in spoken or written English?

thank you very much because only your way of teaching phrasal verbs helps me to remember them!
please any one he has group practice english add me this is my whatsapp00966562421841
Phrasal verbs are numerous and it's so difficult to retain all of them by just memorizing them into our mind .I think the most appropriate method in keeping phrasal verbs is by practicing examples ; I mean we ought to put a phrasal verb in a sentence from our own choice . That's my favourite technique that I find so efficient and meaningful .I have a list of all English phrasal verbs with the meanings and the examples but unfortunately , the table pattern hasn't led to wanted goals because in that event , I become completely dependent on the pattern .
I really love this lesson.I'll keep watching our your lessons.
Interesting and very clear Emma.I love your non verbal language. Itmakes your explanations cristal clear.
you are the best teacher ever .😙😙😙😙
I agree.
Useful and interesting!
Small things but very informative and supportive for an eager learner and the speaker who wants to be impeccable.
Nice lessons~ Concise and clear! Thanks for the teacher and the uploader.
My dear teacher, Thanks for your demonstrations.
Thanks ms emmt
Good evening! I following TH-cam
Thank You! It is very useful video!
yes
I see
The way that you speak is so easy to understand. I could understand every single word that you have spoken. Thanks and keep in this way.
Emma your lectures on preposition really healped me in english writings. So i am thankful to you.
dear Emma, you are my favorite teacher but I must say that a phrasal verb is not a verb plus a preposition but a verb plus a particle. The particle could be a preposition or an adverb :) Thank you very much for your extremely interesting lessons. Your beauty adds to your lessons a special atmosphere :) Take care :)
Disagree with you dear, keep on can't be used with clothes, Emma may explain more clearly.
Giuseppe, this is a good point to make. You are accurate, as far as I know. Thanks for posting this!
Please give an example with verb + adverb.
my best teacher! thank you very much!:) HELLO FROM KAZAKHSTAN; )

Very good video. I showed it to my Thai students (age 14-16) who speak a little English. The pace of this video was perfect for them to follow. Your presentation was straight forward making it easy for them to understand. People do not realize by acting funny it does not help children learn. When you show with demonstrations it really helped the students get it. This is one of the best English videos I have used in class. I will show more of your videos to my students. Thank you for sharing your talents.
Thanks teacher Emma for the lesson. I really enjoy the way that you teach.
Emma. With regards to kick off, we also use this phrasal verbs during meeting conversation. An example, Let's kick off the meeting. Which means either to start or intiate. Plz clarify my doubt.
Good stuff!
Hi, i'm not sure what your doubt is, you're using it correctly :) eg. The event kicks off at 7:30. The football match doesn't kick off until 9:00...
Santu take the dictionary, Emma never replies your comment
mmmm that was pretty useful .. thank you very much
😋
These are great phrasal verbs and example sentences, Emma!
Your way of teaching is owesm
Would you mind the next time to take a picture of the white board ( with or without the teachers on EngVid ) that would make them easy to remember when we want to study them again without open the video times and times over.
Thnx
c'mon, are you really that lazy?

Ok I'm lazy, I can't find a frames where the tutor is way of the board so I'm asked politely if is that possible.

Thank you Emma! You look beautiful in that denim jacket. ^_^
This teacher is naturally gorgeous - she needn't dress up to look beautiful
Well teaching mam. Keep on
You comment stinks like you😆
You wanna hit Emma on..🤣Stop checking the teacher out
Needn’t? 🤔😳
@@youngmama9504Yes, you're right. He meant "doesn't need". 👍
it's not fair a so high quality teacher get just 15 thousand "thumbs up" although she got so high amount of visualisation. Folks, do not forget to hit the "thumbs up". People don't know how much it helps.
I really like the way you explain. It's so easy to remember and it's also interesting. Thank you so much.
You 're so cute. You look so so cute when you have a shower cap on, it makes you look like a little a little girl, adorable.
i was going to say the same...
Horny

Excelent video, it is clear and very practical. Thanks Emma.
I recently bought a "zip off pants" or convertible pants for traveling and/or hiking. You can zip their lowest part off and they convert into shorts. This kind of garment has not been included in this video, but I still love it! Thanks for sharing.
You've missed one.
Keep on : Keep your jacket on. ^^
