Your apps are traditionell. Yet I say this in a very positive way. Finally something excellently structured. Thank you so much for your invaluable work. I am a retired language teacher.
We have to study phrasal verbs by reading,writing and listening to them at specific context requirement of the language. It being similarly to get interpretation them when popping up to us in context.We should not learn phrasal verbs,but being able to use them the best way after running out of possibilities to find another simple word to do it like a replacement to that in sentence.
thanks so much Sir, if they are the eight + difficult ones I can imaging the rest, but I know that it´s kind of memo them...take care of youself. Regards from Trujillo- Perú.
Hi Elena! Thanks for the lovely comment! I'll be honest - although most of these phrasal verbs are used in the USA, there are a few I am not totally sure about. It might be better to compare my video with another on phrasal verbs that has been created by an American 🙂
Hi Ismael! As soon as you add the object, it turns the listeners attention to another use of "get in", which is more or less covered by meaning 4 in the video (although if I was writing the video again I would have made this clearer 🙂) - the most common use of "get in" + object (where the object comes after) is to make something enter another thing (or someone enter a place) but what makes "get in" different to "enter" is that it communicates some sort of difficulty (e.g. an urgency, as I mentioned in meaning 4 in the video). So if I say "I got in my grandmother's house at midnight", yes we are aware of the time but the main point is that I entered her house and something about it wasn't easy (e.g. it was about to rain and I avoided getting wet). If you are being very informal, you might use "get in" in this context simply to mean enter "Have you got in the car yet?", but this isn't usually done with the time phrase. However, when we drop the object and just add the time e.g. "I got in at midnight", then the meaning changes slightly; we are now focused on the time that we entered (i.e. arrived), and are no longer concerned with any difficulty. Sorry I didn't explain this more clearly in the video but to be honest I was worried that 55 minutes was long enough and I didn't want to make the video any longer - I think this shows just how complex these phrasal verbs are 😁😁😁 Thanks for the comment and giving me the opportunity to explain in more depth! Best wishes Rupert
Unmatched Explanation!!! I have a question sir? Can we make sentence in this formation for future time or purpose ? Can/could/may/might/should/would+have +past participle (v3) for future time? Wait for your response and video on this topic. Thanks a lot!!!
Thanks Deed! That's a great question! Yes, there is one situation where you could make "modal + have + been" take on a (kind of) future meaning. This is where something is due to happen in the future, but then for some reason the plan is changed and it is no longer due to happen. You could say "It's a shame it was cancelled. It would have been wonderful!" or "Perhaps it's a good thing because it might have cost too much money". In these sentences, you're imagining being in the future, looking back from that point of time at the event that didn't happen, and speculating on what the outcome of the event would be. Isn't English amazing?! 😁
Hi Enrico - yes, they actually do 🙂 but they would never think "wow, there are so many meanings to these phrasal verbs" - they just instinctively use them correctly through context. A lot of English humor comes from mixing up phrasal verb contexts! Thanks for commenting 🙂
What other phrasal verbs do you think are complex? Let us know!
👏👏👏👏👏A gorgeous lesson ! And jolly nice English without an accent !😉

Thanks so much teacher Rupert. ❤
Thanks for taking the time to let me know 🙂
Utterly Excellent. I have never studied various types of phrasal verbs in detail. I really appreciate what you do here.❤️😊🙏
Thanks so much! Yes, it really is surprising how complex phrasal verbs are when you study them in detail. Have a great day! Rupert
Good.

It's lovely to hear from Peru! I hope this video helps you improve your use of phrasal verbs. Best wishes Rupert
Your RP-pronunciation is music to everybody's s ears.
I'm really pleased you found me easy to listen to! All the best Rupert
Excellent video! Please, could you tell me which of these phrasals have similar meaning in American English. Thank you so much.❣🤝

Please make a video about phrasal verbs more the same
Thanks for commenting! I will do another one in the future! All the best Rupert 🙂
Can we use get in as a synonym with arrive or come this way for instance: I got in my grandparents' home at midday?

I have a question, do native speaker even know these phrasal verbs?
Hi Enrico - yes, they actually do 🙂 but they would never think "wow, there are so many meanings to these phrasal verbs" - they just instinctively use them correctly through context. A lot of English humor comes from mixing up phrasal verb contexts! Thanks for commenting 🙂
