  • Hi, Bob the Canadian here.

  • A lot of you have been asking me to do a video about phrasal verbs.

  • So I thought I would do one today where I try to teach you 50 phrasal verbs and I'm gonna try and act them all out, because I think that will make it a whole lot more enjoyable.

  • Let's get started.

  • So I'm just gonna walk by the camera to get started.

  • Do you see how this works?

  • I'm going to act out the phrasal verbs.

  • So that was "walk by" and you saw the word appear over here as I was doing it.

  • So let's do over 50 more in this English lesson.

  • So when you see something like a bench or chair, you can sit down.

  • And after you have done that for a while you can of course stand up.

  • So sit down and stand up.

  • Sometimes when I'm walking along, I trip and I fall down.

  • So behind me here you see a ladder.

  • You can climb up a ladder.

  • You can also climb down a ladder.

  • You can also go up a ladder, and then you can go down a ladder as well.

  • So it's a little bit sunny today and I thought maybe I should put on a hat,

  • but then when I came outside it was a little cloudy so I thought that I would take off my hat.

  • So when we talk about vehicles, we usually get in a vehicle.

  • So I'm going to get in my van.

  • If I was done driving my van, I would get out of my van.

  • There's also a couple of slang ways to talk about this, or less common ways, and that's to jump in.

  • I can jump in my van.

  • And then when I'm done driving, I can jump out again.

  • I don't jump in or jump out a lot because I'm getting a little bit old.

  • So even though we use get in and get out to talk about vehicles, we don't use it for airplanes, ships, and trains.

  • When we go on an airplane we say, "Get on the airplane.", and when we leave the airplane we say, "Get off."

  • We also do the same for trains.

  • You get on a train, and you get off of a train.

  • So once you're in a vehicle you'll often drive away, which means to leave.

  • And then when you return, you usually drive in.

  • Sometimes when you're driving, you'll run over something.

  • Oops! I accidentally ran over something.

  • If you think I'm too close to you, you might want me to back away.

  • So my truck is getting old, and it's starting to fall apart.

  • You can see all this rust here.

  • It's all just falling apart.

  • When I'm standing here, if I turn around, I'm able to see the river.

  • If I turn around again, I'm able to see you guys.

  • So you'll notice if I hold on to this pen, it stays right here, but if I let go, it falls down.

  • I just picked it up.

  • If I let go of this bike, it will fall over.

  • Sorry bike!

  • By the way, we're about halfway, if you don't know who I am, I'm Bob the Canadian.

  • If you haven't subscribed to my channel, you can do that by clicking that red button below, and if you haven't given me a thumbs up yet, please do!

  • Oh, look, a pen!

  • So when you see something like this pen laying here, you can pick up the pen.

  • If you don't wanna keep it, you can put down the pen.

  • You could pick up the pen and you could set down the pen.

  • A lot of times before I go out, I need to pick out which jacket I'm going to wear.

  • Should I pick out a grey one or should I pick out a blue one?

  • I know whenever I pick out a shirt, I usually pick a blue one.

  • Sometimes when you're talking to people and things aren't going well, you decide you just need to walk away.

  • And sometimes, it's nice to walk up to people so that you can talk to them.

  • Sometimes when I'm sitting on the couch, watching a little bit of television, I fall asleep.

  • Then a little while later, I wake up.

  • Sometimes I decide that it's time to get up off the couch.

  • Sometimes when I'm outside, I like to point out things that I want people to look at.

  • If I point over there, you can see the river.

  • In order for me to listen to the radio, I need to plug in this cord.

  • And if I'm done listening to it, I can unplug it.

  • That's not a phrasal verb, but that's what it is anyways.

  • Unplug.

  • So I'm not sure how many verbs we've done, but I think it's time for me to just sit back and relax for a little bit.

  • Ok, now I might just sit up and pay attention.

  • So I'm going to try and lift this cement block ten times.

  • So I'm going to get started, that means to begin.

  • One.

  • Two.

  • I think I'm gonna give up now, that means to quit.

  • Sometimes my kids take out the milk and I get angry because they didn't put back the milk.

  • If you leave the milk out, it gets warm, and eventually it starts to smell funny.

  • I always put back the milk.

  • When you get home from the grocery store, you need to put away the groceries.

  • It's nice to have all your groceries in the cupboard.

  • But when you're hungry, you need to get out the bread so that you can make a sandwich.

  • So I actually borrowed these keys from Jen.

  • When I go in the house, I'm going to give back the keys.

  • I'm going to return them to her.

  • Every once in a while, I need to fill up my van with gas.

  • At night when it's dark, sometimes we have to turn on a light.

  • When we go to bed, we turn off the light.

  • Sometimes I like to hang up pictures on my wall, but sometimes they get old and then I take down the picture and I put a new one in.

  • This is the volume button.

  • I use this button to turn up the TV if I want it to be louder, and I use this button to turn down the TV if I want it to be quieter.

  • Well, hey, it's time for the last one.

  • It's time to finish up this video.

  • Bob the Canadian here.

  • That was over 50 phrasal verbs.

  • I tried to act them all out as best as possible.

  • If you have not yet, please subscribe to this channel and give me a thumbs up.
