- Hello, welcome to English and Mastery. I am Natasha, your host for today. If you are new here, let me tell you that we upload new English learning videos every
- day on this channel to help you improve your English faster. In today's episode, you will not only improve your English listening skills,
- but also your English speaking and vocabulary skills. In today's lesson, we're diving into an advanced topic that will take your
- fluency to the next level. Essential phrasal verbs for daily conversations. We will go through real-life examples,
- natural dialogues, and practice exercises that will help you understand how phrasal verbs are really used and how
- you can add them to your own daily speaking. Whether you're chatting with friends, making plans, solving problems, or
- sharing experiences, phrasal verbs are the secret to sounding natural and fluent in English. By the end of this video, you'll not only
- recognize these expressions, but also use them confidently in your own conversations. Before we start, make sure to subscribe
- to the channel and press the bell icon if you want more helpful English learning episodes like this. So,
- relax, listen carefully, and get ready to build your English fluency step by step with me.
- Let's get started. Phrasal verbs are one of the most powerful tools in English communication.
- They might look simple, but they carry so much meaning that goes beyond just the dictionary definition. For many learners, phrasal verbs feel
- like a puzzle because a small word like up, out, or off can completely change the meaning of a verb, but once you get used to them, they become the secret to
- sounding natural and fluent in everyday conversations. Let's start slowly. Imagine you wake up in the morning. The
- verb here is wake. But in real English conversations, people don't just say, "I wake at 7:00." They say, "I wake up at 7:00."
- That little word up makes it natural and complete. Later, you might say, "I got up at 7:30 because I was tired." Again, the phrasal verb get up is much
- more natural than simply get. Now, let's practice together. I'll say a sentence, and then I'll pause so you can repeat after me.
- I wake up early on weekdays. Good. I got up late on Sunday. Excellent. Can you hear how natural that
- sounds? Let's take another daily situation. You go into the kitchen and you want to prepare something to eat. Instead of only saying, "I prepared
- breakfast," in everyday English, people might say, "I fixed up some breakfast" or "I whipped up some eggs." The phrasal verbs fix up and whip up both mean to
- prepare quickly. Try repeating this sentence after me. I whipped up some pancakes this morning. Great job. Now, try.
- I fixed up a sandwich before leaving the house. Wonderful. As you can see,
- these small phrases add color, style, and fluency to your speech. And here's a useful tip. Don't try to memorize phrasal verbs as long boring
- lists. Instead, learn them in real-life situations like we're practicing here. That way, you remember them naturally, and you can use them in the right
- context. Now, let's look at how phrasal verbs appear when you're talking about your plans. Imagine your friend calls you and
- asks if you want to meet later. You could say, "Yes, let's meet." But more naturally, you'll say, "Let's meet up after work."
- That phrasal verb meet up gives a friendly and casual tone. Or if you cannot come, you might say, "I'll have to call it off."
- Call off means to cancel. Try repeating this. We decided to call off the meeting. And now,
- let's meet up this weekend. Excellent. Let's practice one more. Sometimes when plans are uncertain, you can say, "Let's
- figure out a time later." That phrasal verb figure out means to find a solution. Try this with me. We need to figure out what to eat
- tonight. Good. Let's figure out the problem together. Great. Everyday life is filled with these small but powerful expressions,
- and the more you notice them, the more confident you'll become in using them. In this masterclass, we'll explore hundreds of examples
- together. And I'll give you plenty of practice. So, these phrases start to feel natural when you speak.
- When we think about daily life, a big part of it is work or study. And phrasal verbs appear everywhere in those settings.
- If you want to sound fluent at school, at the office, or even in casual teamwork, mastering these expressions will help
- you communicate more clearly and naturally. Imagine you're at work and your manager gives you a new project. You could say,
- "I'll start it." But in natural English, you'll often hear, "I'll take it on." The phrasal verb take on means to accept a task or responsibility. Repeat after
- me. I'll take on this new project. Good. Now try. She took on too many responsibilities.
- Excellent. Another common one is hand in. When you finish your homework or a report, you don't just say, "I gave my
- report." You say, "I handed in my report." This is natural spoken English. Let's practice.
- I handed in my essay yesterday. Great. Please hand in your assignments by Monday.
- Well done. Now think about meetings. You might need to bring up a topic. This means to mention or introduce it. You could say, "I want to bring up an
- idea during the meeting." Or He brought up an interesting point. Repeat with me.
- Can I bring up a question? Good. She brought up the problem during class. Perfect. Sometimes at work or in study
- groups, you need to go over material. That means to review something. Try this sentence. Let's go over the details one more time.
- Now, repeat. We went over the chapter before the test. Excellent.
- Here's another. Point out. It means to highlight or show something important. Example. She pointed out the mistake in my notes.
- And another. I'd like to point out a small detail. Great job. Now, let's connect these phrasal verbs into a small practice
- dialogue. Imagine I'm your colleague, and I'll speak both parts slowly. Hi, can we go over the report today? Yes, but I still need to finish it
- before I hand it in. Okay, maybe tomorrow we can bring up the issues we found. Sure, I'll take on the corrections and
- point out the important changes. Did you hear how natural that sounded? When you weave phrasal verbs into a conversation, it flows more smoothly and
- feels closer to native English. Let's practice some for problem-solving. One very useful phrasal verb is sort out. It means to organize or fix
- something. Example. I need to sort out my notes before the exam. Try it with me.
- She sorted out the problem quickly. Good. Another is work out. It can mean to solve a problem or calculate something.
- We worked out the solution together. Or, I can't work out how this machine works. Excellent practice. Now, picture a university setting. You
- might need to look into a subject. That means to investigate or study it carefully. I'll look into this topic for my
- research. Or, the professor is looking into new teaching methods.
- Repeat that. Perfect. And here's one more for today's study and work practice.
- Carry out. This means to perform or complete a task. For example, the scientist carried out an experiment.
- Or, we need to carry out the plan step by step. Great job.
- So, now you see, phrasal verbs are not just for casual conversations with friends. They are a also the language of school,
- of work, and of professional life. If you practice them in context, you'll find they naturally slip into your own speaking when you need them.
- Now, let's step into another part of daily life, your social world, talking with friends, making plans, and enjoying time together.
- In these situations, phrasal verbs make your English sound relaxed and natural. Think about when you invite friends to your home. Instead of only saying, "Come
- to my house." people often say, "Come over." For example, "Why don't you come over this evening?" Or, "They came over last night for
- dinner." Try repeating. "Come over after work." Good. Now, repeat. "My friends came over to watch a movie."
- Excellent. Sometimes you want to relax with your friends. In everyday English, you don't just say, "Spend time." You say, "Hang out."
- Example, "We usually hang out at the cafe after school. Or,
- do you want to hang out this weekend? Practice with me. I'm hanging out with my best friend tonight.
- Great. They like to hang out in the park. Perfect. Now, let's add another. Catch up.
- This means to talk with someone after not seeing them for a while. Imagine you meet an old friend. You might say, "It's so good to catch up with you." Or,
- we caught up over lunch yesterday. Repeat this with me. Let's catch up soon. Very good.
- We caught up on everything that happened last year. Excellent practice. Sometimes plans change suddenly.
- You may have to drop by. That means to visit for a short time without planning much. I'll drop by your office later.
- Or, she dropped by to say hello. Try it now. Can I drop by tomorrow? Good. He dropped by my place last night.
- Perfect. Another one you'll hear a lot is show up. This means to arrive. For example,
- he didn't show up to the party. Or, she showed up late for the meeting. Practice with me. I'll show up on time,
- I promise. Very good. They showed up unexpectedly. Excellent. Now, imagine you're chatting
- about your day. You might say, "I ran into an old friend at the store." The phrasal verb run into means to meet by chance.
- Try this sentence. I ran into my teacher yesterday. And another, she ran into her cousin downtown.
- Wonderful practice. Here's another social favorite. Pick up. When someone comes to collect you, they don't just collect you, they pick you
- up. Can you pick me up at the station? Or, He picked up his sister from the
- airport. Repeat with me. I'll pick you up after class. Good. She picked me up in her car.
- Perfect. Now, let's practice with a small conversation. Hey,
- do you want to hang out this weekend? Sure. Maybe I can drop by your place on Saturday. Great. We can catch up and maybe invite
- some friends to come over. Perfect. I'll show up around 4:00 p.m. and we'll figure out what to do. Did you notice how natural that sounded?
- These phrasal verbs are the small building blocks of real everyday English. And when you practice them like this,
- they become part of your own conversations. Let's add a few more useful ones. Get along.
- This means to have a good relationship with someone. I get along well with my neighbors. Or,
- They don't get along anymore. Practice. Do you get along with your classmates? Very good.

- Or, I don't want to fall out with my best friend. Repeat with me. We fell out last week, but we made up
- later. Great. These phrasal verbs bring life to your social conversations. They make your speech warm, casual, and real.
- Daily routines at home are full of phrasal verbs. In fact, if you listen to native speakers describing their day, you'll hear them everywhere.
- Let's go step by step through a typical day and practice together. You wake up in the morning. We already practiced wake up and get up, but after
- that, maybe your alarm is still ringing. What do you do? You turn off the alarm, or sometimes you switch off the alarm.
- Try repeating. I turned off my alarm at 7:00. Good. He switched off his phone before bed.
- Excellent. Next, you might wash up in British English. Wash up means to wash your hands and face in the morning. In American
- English, wash up often means to wash the dishes. Both are useful. Repeat after me. I washed up before breakfast.

- Did you notice how almost every step of your home routine can be described with a phrasal verb? By practicing them in the order of your

- phrasal verbs appear constantly. Whether you're going to school, commuting to work, or traveling to another country, you'll hear and use
- these expressions all the time. Let's start with transportation. You usually need to get on and get off buses, trains, or planes. For example, I got on

- don't run into problems later. See how natural that conversation sounds when you use phrasal verbs in travel situations? It makes your English
