Hi everyone, I'm Arnel. Today we're gonna look at 30 super common phrasal verbs you can use
every day! Before we start there are a couple things you need to remember.
One: Some phrasal verbs need an object. If a phrasal verb needs an object, I'll underline it for you.
Some phrasal verbs are separable. Again, if a phrasal verb is separable, I'll let you know.
Actually, I'll put a little s next to the phrasal verb so you know you can
separate that phrasal verb. And some phrasal verbs don't even need
an object. 30 phrasal verbs, let's start. I usually wake up at 6:00. Today I woke up at 6:30. Wake up,
woke up, woken up. Remember you need to change that verb form depending on the tense.
I woke up at 6:30, but I got up at 6:45.
Definitions: Wake up, stop sleeping. You wake up. Get up out of bed.
On Saturday I didn't get up until 11:00. Yes, usually we can use these interchangeably.
What time are you getting up tomorrow? Here it's clear I mean, what time are you waking up tomorrow?
I'm awake. I turned on my phone. I turned on my lamp. I turned on the heater.
I turned off the notifications. I turned off my lamp. I turned off the heater.
I opened my phone? I closed my lamp? Remember, use turn on and turn off for electronics.
I have an interview at 10:00. Interviews stress me out. Definition, make me stressed.
Paying bills stresses me out. Stress me out. Stress me out. Me is a pronoun, right?
If your phrasal verb is separable like, stress out.
You can see my s. The pronoun must go in the middle. Let's look at a few examples...
In these four sentences you can see only the first three are correct. The object can go in the middle,
after the phrasal verb, or the pronoun can go in the middle. Grammar tip to remember, never put a
pronoun after your phrasal verb. Let me know in the comments, what's something that stresses you out?
Why do interviews stress me out? I don't like the questions. I'm not good at coming up with answers.
I need to come up with a couple of ideas before 10:00. Can you help me come up with something?
Come up with something. Definition, to think of something to say, or you think of an
idea. Whoever came up with the cronut is a genius. Cronut. Croissant plus donut, cronut.
Okay. At the interview I hope they don't bring up my internship. It was a really bad
experience. Definition, to start speaking about a topic. Don't bring up john's divorce, okay?
Don't start speaking about it. I was talking to my grandpa the other day, and he brought up the war.
I was really surprised because he'd never spoken about it to me before. Okay,
I think you can tell I'm a little bit nervous about this interview...
I don't know how many people are going to be interviewed, but I hope I stand out.
I hope I stand out. Definition, to be noticeable because you are different, or more impressive.
If 10 people are being interviewed, you want to stand out, right? Look at this picture,

to look up the location. I need to look up the bus times, and I need to look up...
I should probably look up the weather. Definition, to search and find specific information. How do
we look things up? We normally use Google, right? If you don't know a word in English, look it up.
No buses go to my interview place.
I need to figure out how to get there. I also need to figure out what to wear.
How? What? When? Where? Who? We often say figure out, plus question word, because we're trying to
find an answer to a question. You know, I still can't figure out why my computer is so slow.
Okay. I can't eat breakfast at home because I've run out of cereal. I'm also running out of time. Run out
of something. Definition, you used everything, but you still need more. Look at my examples:
I've run out of cereal. I need more, I need breakfast. I'm running out of time, I need more time.
I might run out of money before the end of the month. So, I've run out of cereal but that's okay.

So, I popped into a coffee shop and picked up a cherry banana muffin.
It was gross, so I threw it away. Definition, you put something in a trash can.
Yesterday I threw away an old pair of shoes.
It's too bad the cherry banana muffin was no good. But, I'm trying to cut back on sugar
anyway. Cut back on something. I eat this much sugar every day, I need to cut back. I drink
four cups of coffee every day. That's true. I should probably cut back. Definition, reduce.
Normally when we cut back on something it has to do with food, drinks, or spending.
Walking to work can help you cut back on gas costs. Okay. I'm on the subway now heading to my interview...
The subway is crowded, it's noisy, it's smelly.
I wish i had a car so I wouldn't have to put up with this. Definition, if you put up
with something. Something is negative, like a crowded subway. But you continue to accept it.

And to be honest, the interview was a disaster. I really need to calm down.
Definition, to stop feeling angry, excited, or nervous. You can calm down or you can calm
someone else down. Gina was so upset this morning it took me 30 minutes to calm her
down before she told me what was wrong. Okay, I've calmed down. I need to check my emails.
I should probably get back to Dan.
And I have to get back to Amy. Why hasn't Louie gotten back to me yet? Definition, if
you get back to someone, you respond to them. This is normally via email, phone, or message.

or do something quickly because you are behind. I have to catch up on my work. I have to catch up on

Definition, fill out. To complete
a form or document with information.
I filled out this form wrong, I put in my details instead of my sons.
You can also say, fill in. You fill in a form, fill in an application. Fill
out is more American English. Fill in is more British English, but they mean
the same thing. I know they look like opposites, fill in, fill out. But they mean the same thing.

you like each other. This can be any relationship, friends, colleagues, husband, wife. Any relationship.
Why don't I get along with Trish? Because she's always playing her music.
Every day she turns up her music really loud. I have to tell her to turn it down.
Definitions, turn up, volume up. Turn down, volume down. And we only use turn up, turn down, with um
music or the tv. We wouldn't use it for people. For example, you wouldn't say: I'm sorry can you please
turn up? Next to my desk there's also a vending machine, they need to get rid of it.
With a vending machine next to me I always want to buy some chocolate. Remember I told
you I'm trying to cut back on sugar? Get rid of something. Definition, to remove it.
I have a lot of old clothes I want to get rid of. If we get rid of something we can throw it away
We can sell it, or just remove it. Right, I need to go over these spreadsheets before I submit them.
