00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.480
today's lesson is available in my ebook

2
00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:04.799
there are over 50 worksheets now you can

3
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:07.010
get it with the link in the description

4
00:00:07.010 --> 00:00:14.320
[Music]

5
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:16.720
a very common question i get is how can

6
00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:18.480
i learn phrasal verbs

7
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:21.279
well these books that long lists of

8
00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:23.680
unrelated phrasal verbs

9
00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:26.640
a thousand of them who no one needs that

10
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:28.160
put it in the bin

11
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:29.679
what you need is to learn the

12
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:32.479
prepositions because they have

13
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:34.399
general meanings

14
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:37.120
if you learn those general meanings

15
00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:39.680
you'll learn all of the phrasal verbs

16
00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:42.320
the same way we do and today we're

17
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:43.600
focusing on

18
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.159
away i've made lots of phrasal verb

19
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:48.879
videos you can find some here and at the

20
00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:51.280
end of this video so let's start with

21
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:53.840
the most obvious the most general

22
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:55.360
meaning of a way

23
00:00:55.360 --> 00:00:57.600
and that is to separate one thing from

24
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:02.000
another thing to create distance

25
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.519
i saw a fire so i

26
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:09.360
ran away easy right i created distance i

27
00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:12.720
separated myself from the fire

28
00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:14.959
how i ran

29
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:18.479
this is how simple phrasal verbs are

30
00:01:18.479 --> 00:01:21.040
the preposition holds the meaning to

31
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.520
separate or create distance from

32
00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:26.720
something the verb shows how something

33
00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:29.600
happens the preposition shows what

34
00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:30.880
happens

35
00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:32.560
so if you think phrasal verbs are

36
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:33.840
difficult

37
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:37.520
let's learn like 20 in one second

38
00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:41.200
think of different verbs with movement

39
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:42.399
run

40
00:01:42.399 --> 00:01:44.319
walk

41
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:47.359
walked um

42
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:49.920
i danced away

43
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.640
i separated myself from the fire by

44
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.840
dancing and think of any verb that uses

45
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:57.040
motion

46
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:58.399
fly

47
00:01:58.399 --> 00:01:59.520
drive

48
00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:02.159
put that with a way now you understand

49
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:04.880
that you've learned at least 20 new

50
00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:07.520
phrasal verbs because you learned the

51
00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:11.760
preposition and how a phrasal verb works

52
00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:14.560
now you could at the end of this say i

53
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:16.400
ran away

54
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:18.319
from

55
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:21.280
something from the fire

56
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:22.959
if you're like me

57
00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:24.959
and you have a chocolate problem you

58
00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:27.200
might say to your friend

59
00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:28.639
i'm gonna keep me away from the

60
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.360
chocolate i'm on a diet seriously

61
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:32.639
keep me away

62
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:35.840
let's change that verb and change the

63
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:37.200
situation

64
00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:40.639
how else could we use this

65
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:42.879
if you see a zombie and you want to say

66
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.120
you

67
00:02:46.239 --> 00:02:48.720
get away from me you creep

68
00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:51.680
zombies in this situation you could

69
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.919
change getaway to

70
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:55.200
go away

71
00:02:55.200 --> 00:02:57.919
move away is a bit softer

72
00:02:57.919 --> 00:02:59.120
so

73
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:01.680
maybe a person at a party you're like

74
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:03.040
can you just

75
00:03:03.040 --> 00:03:05.360
move away

76
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:09.120
so get away it can mean leave but it can

77
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.959
also mean escape for example you are

78
00:03:12.959 --> 00:03:16.879
running away from the police and

79
00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:19.440
are the police still following me

80
00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:21.598
no

81
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:24.319
i think i got away

82
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:26.000
oh i'm so tired

83
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:29.519
and if you know it means escape

84
00:03:29.519 --> 00:03:31.280
get away with

85
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.040
can mean this

86
00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:34.400
let's imagine

87
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.879
that you steal one million pounds from

88
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.920
the queen so the police arrest you you

89
00:03:39.920 --> 00:03:43.040
go to court but then

90
00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:45.120
the judge says

91
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.920
innocent no punishment for this guy yeah

92
00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:50.400
yeah you can leave it's fine when you do

93
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:52.959
something bad like steal millions from

94
00:03:52.959 --> 00:03:56.000
someone but there's no punishment you

95
00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:00.319
avoid punishment for doing something bad

96
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.480
you get away with it you avoid the

97
00:04:02.480 --> 00:04:03.680
punishment

98
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.720
to be specific to say what the bad thing

99
00:04:06.720 --> 00:04:07.680
was

100
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:11.760
change the verb to the ing form

101
00:04:12.239 --> 00:04:14.400
so it looks like this

102
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:16.479
i got away with stealing one million

103
00:04:16.479 --> 00:04:17.680
pounds

104
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:19.680
from the queen oh my god

105
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:22.160
but usually with crime you would say the

106
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:24.800
name of the crime so i got away with

107
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.759
theft i got away with embezzlement

108
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:29.199
i got away with

109
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:30.960
type of crime

110
00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:33.680
also with a way you can show how you got

111
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.479
rid of something disposed of it

112
00:04:36.479 --> 00:04:38.320
now getting rid of something doesn't

113
00:04:38.320 --> 00:04:41.040
necessarily mean throwing it in the bin

114
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:42.639
it could mean

115
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:44.560
giving it to charity

116
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:45.279
or

117
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.600
giving something of yours to someone

118
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:50.479
else you don't own it anymore

119
00:04:50.479 --> 00:04:52.960
you give it away

120
00:04:52.960 --> 00:04:55.759
but maybe i do need to throw something

121
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.560
in the bin sometimes like

122
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:02.080
when milk is old you have to

123
00:05:02.080 --> 00:05:04.320
pour it away

124
00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:05.680
get rid of it

125
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:08.720
so it's like doing something or using

126
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:11.440
something until it finishes like when

127
00:05:11.440 --> 00:05:13.520
you get paid at the end of the month and

128
00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:16.160
then you go straight to the pub and

129
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.479
spend all of your money

130
00:05:18.479 --> 00:05:21.039
drinking

131
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:25.440
your friend could say this

132
00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:27.360
you're just drinking your money away

133
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.680
such a waste you're getting rid of your

134
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.639
money by drinking but we can

135
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:34.639
take this to the next level

136
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.039
you could say you're pissing your money

137
00:05:37.039 --> 00:05:39.680
away now yeah this is slang rude

138
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:41.759
informal don't use it with your boss

139
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.960
teacher or parents they might be

140
00:05:44.960 --> 00:05:47.759
upset with you but it's a fun expression

141
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.160
to use when you want to say

142
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:54.240
something is a waste of money like going

143
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.479
on the london eye for me

144
00:05:56.479 --> 00:05:58.960
that is a waste of money that is pissing

145
00:05:58.960 --> 00:06:00.560
your money away

146
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.120
go to primrose hill you have great views

147
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:05.680
and it's free london i is so rubbish

148
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:07.919
don't go on it let's try this in the

149
00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:10.240
comments what do you think is a waste of

150
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.039
money um for some people the playstation

151
00:06:13.039 --> 00:06:14.160
5

152
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.160
is a good way to spend money for other

153
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:18.400
people it's a waste of money you're

154
00:06:18.400 --> 00:06:21.360
pissing away your money on a playstation

155
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:23.199
5. but

156
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:25.759
what about the dyson air app

157
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:27.680
what about that

158
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:29.360
is that a good way to spend your money

159
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.919
or is it pissing your money away let me

160
00:06:31.919 --> 00:06:33.600
know in the comments what do you think

161
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:36.160
what do you think is pissing your money

162
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:37.600
away

163
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:39.919
so you use something or do something

164
00:06:39.919 --> 00:06:42.319
until it finishes okay

165
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.720
with that in mind let's imagine you go

166
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:46.639
to a party

167
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.279
how do you spend all of that time what

168
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:50.479
do you do

169
00:06:50.479 --> 00:06:54.319
maybe you meet someone special and

170
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:56.319
you're talking to each other all the

171
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.120
time so all of that time until the end

172
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.000
until it finishes

173
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.400
you're talking

174
00:07:04.400 --> 00:07:06.720
so you spent the whole night

175
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:07.839
talking

176
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:10.800
you talked the night away or maybe you

177
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.680
spent the whole night dancing you danced

178
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.120
the night away

179
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.840
another way that we use away is when

180
00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:19.120
someone feels

181
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:22.319
really comfortable doing something but

182
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:24.560
maybe for a long time

183
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:30.440
and also maybe it's annoying like this

184
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.960
if someone is talking to you

185
00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:36.479
for hours and they don't shut up

186
00:07:36.479 --> 00:07:40.160
ah he's been talking away all night

187
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:43.759
talk away this just means he feels very

188
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:45.840
comfortable talking

189
00:07:45.840 --> 00:07:47.840
for a long time

190
00:07:47.840 --> 00:07:51.680
but like i said maybe it's annoying

191
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:53.280
but also

192
00:07:53.280 --> 00:07:56.080

comments

211
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.039
maybe you want to tell someone to feel

212
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.039
comfortable doing

213
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.080
something like this

214
00:08:48.800 --> 00:08:51.200
if your friend asks you is okay if i

215
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:53.519
smoke in your house and you want them to

216
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:55.760
feel comfortable doing that you could

217
00:08:55.760 --> 00:08:59.440
say this yeah of course smoke away

218
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:01.920
i want you to feel comfortable

219
00:09:01.920 --> 00:09:03.360
smoking

220
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:05.600
it's just kind of a funny and friendly

221
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:07.519
way to say i want you to feel

222
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:08.399
comfortable

223
00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:10.800
doing this thing

224
00:09:10.800 --> 00:09:12.480
don't ever smoke in my house though it's

225
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:13.440
gross

226
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:14.480
also

227
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:16.720
if you're at dinner and someone wants to

228
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:19.120
start eating you want to say no no don't

229
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:20.240
wait for me

230
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.160
eat away

231
00:09:22.160 --> 00:09:24.958
remember that a way means to be

232
00:09:24.958 --> 00:09:27.360
separated from something or to be

233
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:29.839
distant from something yeah we use this

234
00:09:29.839 --> 00:09:32.240
to say i'm not here

235
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:34.480
so if you are on your lunch break at

236
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:37.279
work for example and someone asks

237
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:40.720
oh hi um is becky at her desk right now

238
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:42.480
i'm not she's away from my desk right

239
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.200
now oh she's on holiday

240
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:47.760
yeah she's away all week

241
00:09:47.760 --> 00:09:50.160
and finally there are some expressions

242
00:09:50.160 --> 00:09:52.240
that you might just want to use like

243
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:54.800
this one

244
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.559
when something is eating away at you

245
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:01.200
it's making you feel bad and you need to

246
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:04.240
tell someone about it or do something to

247
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:05.360

248
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:07.040
