Hello, I'm Alex, and today we are going to learn 23 phrasal verbs that are perfect for English beginners. Why are phrasal verbs important? We hear phrasal verbs everywhere. At the bank, at the grocery store, at the mechanic. Yes, phrasal verbs can be a challenge, but I promise that the phrasal verbs in this video are good for your level. So let's go. I said let's go. Another way to say let's go is come on. So come on means come with me or follow me. So you can say come on to your friends if you want to leave a place. Another easy command phrasal verb, easy command phrasal verb is hurry up. Hurry up. This means go faster. Say it. Hurry up. Okay, so hurry. Maybe your friend is in the bathroom. I don't know why I'm writing. Your friend is writing a book in the bathroom, and you want your friend to finish in the bathroom. You say, hey, hurry up. Go faster. Finish faster. So repeat hurry up. Next, at the beginning of the video, I said come in. Come in means enter. This one is very logical. Come, come in, inside. So when you open the door to a person, you can say, ah, come in. Come in. You say it. Come in. Finally, hold on. Okay, so hold on. This means wait or stop. So if your friend is walking very quickly, you can say, hold on. Hold on. Because you want them to wait for you or you want them to stop because you want to catch them. Catch, catch them. So you can say, repeat after me. Hold on. Okay, good. It's okay? Okay, I told you these are good for your level. Let's continue. The next two phrasal verbs are wake up and get up. We use these phrasal verbs to talk about the morning when we open our eyes and when we leave our bed in the morning. So repeat after me. I wake up at six o'clock. Wake up. I stop sleeping. I open my eyes. Next, repeat after me. I get up at six o'clock. So get up means you leave the bed. Sorry if I didn't give you enough time to say it. So you can use this one or this one. People use both to talk about the time they stop sleeping in the morning. So me, I wake up at 5.50 in the morning, but I get up at six o'clock. How about you? Tell me in the comments. The next two phrasal verbs are used to talk about clothes and other things that you put on your body. For example, rings or earrings or necklaces or watches for the time. So you can put something on your body or take something off your body. For example, repeat. Put your shoes on. Take off your coat. Good. Now here you will notice I put your shoes in the middle of put and on. This is because many phrasal verbs in English can be separated. Many can't, but many can. For now, just know at the beginner level, just know some phrasal verbs you can separate. Okay? So you can say put on your shoes or put your shoes on. You can say take off your coat or take your coat off. Is that okay? Okay, you are doing great. Let's continue. Next, we have four phrasal verbs that use the verb turn. We will go one by one. So the first example says turn on the light, please. So we can use turn on to mean start something, start a machine or something electronic. You can turn on your phone, turn on your TV. You can turn on the light in a room. For example, the opposite of turn on is that's right, turn off. So listen to this example. Could you please turn off the light? This is a question. It is a request. And I need to put a question mark with that. Sorry, if it looks a little funny. So turn on, start, turn off, close, close or like end. So turn off the TV, turn off your computer, turn off the light. Next, we have turn up and turn down. So this means to increase something, turn up or decrease something, turn down. For example, can you turn up the volume? I can't hear the TV. […]
