Today you're going to learn over 200  phrasal verbs that will help you sound  

fluent, sound natural, and sound  professional in English, of course.

I'm Jennifer from JForrest

English.

Now let's get started.

This is a long lesson, but don't  worry because it's divided into  

individual sections where you'll  learn a group of 10 phrasal verbs,  

then you'll complete a quiz, and then  you'll move on to the next group.

So let's get started with your first.

Group.

Number one to come around  to an opinion or an idea,  

and this means to change your opinion  or to see a new point of view.

Now notice the sentence structure.

Because we have two prepositions around and  two, and then after two we need something.

We need a noun, an opinion, or an idea.

For example, I came around to the new job  after I heard about the benefits package.

So remember, this means you changed your  opinion so previously you didn't want.

The new job.

But now you've come around to it,  so you've changed your opinion.

Now you want the new job because you  heard about the benefits package.

We commonly use this without the preposition 2  

and without specifying the something when  the something has already been mentioned.

For example, at first I didn't want to move  to Boston, but I came around after I visited.

So notice I didn't say I came around to something  

because the something had already  been mentioned, so I came around.

To.

The idea after I visited #2 to  get across a point or a message,  

and this is when you clearly and effectively  communicate a point or a message.

For example, make sure you.

Get.

Across that, the project is over budget,  so if you're having a meeting with a client  

and your boss has this very particular  message or idea, the project is over.

Budget.

And your boss wants you to communicate  that in a clear, effective way.

Your boss wants to make sure you get that across.

Now we also use this when you're talking,  

You're talking, you're talking, and the  ideas aren't really coming out very well.

And after a while you stop and you say what  I'm trying to get across is and then you.

State your.

Point what I'm trying to get  across is the project is.

Over.

Budget #3 to show.

Off.

This is when you deliberately display your skills  or abilities in a way to impress other people.

Now, this is frequently used in the negative.

Don't show off, don't show off.

But there's definitely a time and  a place when you want to show off.

For example, when you're going to a job interview,  

you shouldn't be modest, You should  show off your skills and abilities.

You should talk about all your  awards, your accomplishments,  

your degrees, the compliments you've received.

You want to show off all of your  experience to the interviewer,  

so an interview is the perfect time to show off.

Also, if you're going for your IELTS exam,  

you don't want to be modest with your  knowledge of the English language.

You want to show off your abilities  by using a range of grammatical  

structures and a range of phrasal  verbs and idioms and expressions.

You want to show off to the  interviewer, #4 to count on.

Now this is exactly the same  as to rely on or to depend on.

So you have three different phrasal verbs  all with on that mean the exact same thing.

And this is of course when you trust someone  

or something to complete a  specific task or objective.

For example, I can always  count on Selma to stay late.

So you can trust Selma to complete the specific  task or objective which is to stay late.

And remember you could replace this with rely on I  

can always rely on Selma or depend  on I can always depend on Selma.

Now we frequently use this in a question response.

For example, can I count on you?

Can I count on you to close the deal?

And then you can reply back and say absolutely  you can count on me #5 to come between now.

This is when something disturbs a  relationship and that relationship  

can be a professional relationship, a social  relationship, romantic family relationship.

It can be any kind of relationship.

For example, Jacob and Marcus were best  friends until Sylvie came between them.

So that's the image you could have.

They were close, Jacob and Marcus, but then  Sylvie came between them and now they're divided.

Sylvie disturbed their relationship.

Now it's very common for a girl or a  guy to come between a relationship,  

but it doesn't have to be a person.

It could be that Jacob and Marcus were very  close, but the promotion came between them,  

the new job came between them,  their family came between them,  

their politics came between them,  their religion came between them.

It could be anything between them.

Money.

Is a good one as well.

That comes between people in relationships.

And remember you can use this in any type of  

relationship number six to put  up with something or someone.

And notice this is a 2 preposition phrasal.

Verb.

Put up.

With.

Put up with and.

We use this to say that you tolerate bad  behavior or unwanted behavior to put up with.

For example, I don't know how you put up with.

Your.

Boss, I don't know how you tolerate.

Your.

Boss.

Now of course we can be more specific and  specify the action that the boss does.

I don't know how you put up with your  boss's constant criticism, for example,  

or your boss's distasteful jokes, for example.

I don't know how you tolerate.

It.

Now we commonly use this to say I'm not going.

To.

Put up with and then the behavior.

I'm not going to put up with your constant  criticism any longer #7 to bounce back.

Now to bounce back.

This is when you recover or recuperate.

Now you can use this when you recover from  a negative situation in a business context,  

like for example a bad sales quarter  or a bad product launch for example.

But it can also be when you recover  or recuperate from an illness,  

so you can use it in both those situations.

For example, in a workplace  situation, you could say,  

I don't know how we'll bounce  back from our loss in Q2.

So I don't know how we'll recover.

And then you could have a  discussion how can we bounce back.

Does anyone have any ideas on how we can bounce  

back now in terms of recovering  or recuperating from an illness?

You could say it took me a while  to bounce back after my surgery,  

so it took me a while to  recover recuperate #8 to act up.

This means to behave badly or strangely.

This is very commonly used with  parents describing the actions of  

their young children or even their older children.

My son keeps acting up, behaving badly, but  we can also use this with devices and objects.

For example, my computer keeps  acting up, behaving strangely.

My computer keeps acting up.

I hope it doesn't break #9  to make it up to someone.

This is quite a long one, so pay attention to  this sentence structure to make it up to someone.

Now we use this when you try  to compensate for a wrongdoing.

For example, let's say it's your best  friend's birthday and you can't go.

For whatever.

Reason so this.

Is the.

Wrongdoing Not going to your  best friend's birthday party.

Now, if you want to compensate  for that wrongdoing, you could  

say I'm so sorry I can't make your birthday party.

I promise I'll make it up to you.

I'll make it up to you by taking  you out for a nice dinner.

I'll make it up to you by  going to the movies with you.

I'll make it up to you by buying  you a really nice present.

So those are the ways you're going to compensate.

Now you might be wondering  what is this it the make it up.

To someone.

We use it with it because what  you're trying to compensate for  

has already been explained, so  you don't have to say it again.

Now you can use this in a business context.

Let's say you went over budget on a client's  project and you might say to your team,  

how are we going to make it up to the client?

How are we going to compensate for our wrongdoing?

The wrongdoing is you went over budget.

And then maybe someone would  suggest we can make it up to  

them by offering a discount or offering a  free product, offering an extra service.

So those are how you're going to compensate for  the wrongdoing to make it up to someone #10.

To barge.

In when you barge in, you enter  a place a location unexpectedly,  

and you interrupt whatever's taking place.

For example, I was in my office  working and this kid just.

Barged.

In and handed me his CV, but later I hired him.

So by saying the kid barged in, it implies that  he didn't have an appointment he wasn't expected.

He just.

Barged in unexpectedly and he  interrupted whatever I was working on.

But in this case it was successful because.

He got the job.

So now you have the first group.

So let's complete your quiz.

Here are the questions for the quiz.

You need to complete each sentence  using the correct phrasal verb.

So go ahead and hit pause  now and complete the quiz.

Here are the correct answers.

Go ahead and hit pause and see how well you did.

So make sure you share your score in the comments.

And now let's continue with  your second group of phrasal.

Verbs.

Number one to abide by.

This is more of a formal phrasal verb because  

it's used when you accept or  follow a rule or regulation.

So we use it mainly with government rules,  court rules, even business rules as well.

For example, as a tourist, you have to abide  by the rules of the country you're visiting.

So if you see a sign that says no  parking, you have to abide by that rule.

You have to follow that rule.

Now remember, we also use  this to say you simply accept.

You accept, but then you follow it.

For example, let's say you go to court because  

of a dispute and the court  doesn't rule in your favor.

You still have to abide by that decision.

You have to accept it and then follow it.

So this is a more formal.

Phrasal verb, but.

It's.

Very useful because we all have to abide by  many different rules, regulations, and policies.

#2 to dawn on This is an excellent phrasal  verb to add to your daily vocabulary.

To dawn on is when you finally  realize or understand something.

For example, one day it just dawned  on me that I need to change careers.

So one day I just realized  I need to change careers.

So you can absolutely say realize we're just  

using the phrasal verb dawn  on and it's extremely common.

Now notice the sentence structure here.

It dawned on me something dawns on someone.

So the IT is the realization it dawns  on me that I need to change careers.

So just keep that in mind because the  sentence structure is commonly used  

with it dawns on and then someone #3 to pull off.

This is also a must know phrasal verb.

When you pull something off, you're able to do  something that is difficult or unlikely to do.

For example, let's say you're a wedding planner  and a couple comes to you and tells you they want  

to have this huge 300 person wedding in three  weeks and they want you to plan everything.

That's really difficult.

And it might even be unlikely that you're able  to plan a 300 person wedding in three weeks.

So you could say I don't  know if I can pull that off,  

I don't know if I can do that  because it's very difficult.

I don't know if I can pull that off the  that being planning the 300 person wedding.

Now let's say you do successfully plan the  wedding after you could say I can't believe I.

Pulled.

That off, I can't believe I.

Pulled.
