24 essential phrasal verbs for computers and technology

[@Nalayanithanusha]

I'm fond of this video. We can learn English with fun, When I learn English within the hilarious, All the things go to my mind. Thank you so much for both of you.

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Dutunu Dutunu , we're so glad you're able to learn from our videos. Thanks for letting us know and thanks for watching.

[@ElviraJorgelinaGonzalez-ho3ez]

You were my company during the lockdown Excellent and lovely teachers And now in 2024 I came across them I will keep on learning and polishing my English Thanks very much Cheerio (from Argentina)

[@javifontalva7752]

Never have I seen such as great American-English couple. Way to go!

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Ha! Yes, we're a transatlantic pairing. Thanks Javi.

[@marymar5646]

I don’t know if there is a couple like yours in the whole universe.... funny, attractive,intelligent! Good good teachers! Thanks a lot!

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Thanks so much Marymar. We're so glad you like it.

[@raed2178]

I really liked this video. I especially enjoyed Jay acting as a robot. 😂😂😂

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Ha! I love that bit too Ra'ed. I was trying to think of an ending to the sketch and he said 'I could be a robot' and I said 'But how?' He made me burst out laughing when he showed me. It was a hidden talent that I never knew he had.

[@raed2178]

Simple English Videos You guys are amazing. God bless you. ☺

[@ДомРаздоры]

Me too! It was lots of fun!

[@arturcostasteiner9735]

Another great video! Other important verbs are download, upload, sign in, sign out, sign up. Sign in and sign out means the same as log in and log out. Sign up usually means to create an account on a site like Google, Yahoo, etc. It opens a form for you to fill in your data.

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

More great examples. Thank you Artur. Jaime just suggested another useful one too - hover over. Maybe one day we'll have enough to make another video.

[@arturcostasteiner9735]

Simple English Videos hover over - I dont’ know what this means. Hover is similar to float, right? Usually over the water. Hover over suggests sliding your finger over the screen

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

It's when you put your mouse on top of something but you don't actually click. Sometimes when you hover over web objects they react so for example, they might change colour or shape.

[@superfluidity]

@@SimpleEnglishVideos Right. Lots of objects show a title or 'tool tip' when we hover them. But you can't hover using a phone or a tablet with a touch-screen.

[@cristianruiz9034]

[@artak4028]

I confuse between hook up and plug in.They both mean the same thing or not? Thanks. I'm very happy to watch your videos.

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

They have very similar meanings Art AK and in some situations they're interchangeable. E.g. "Is the printer plugged into/hooked up to your computer? You could use either verb here and it would mean the same thing. Plug in is a bit more specific. It's reserved for when we connect electrical equipment to the main supply of electricity or to another piece of electrical equipment and it's about placing a plug or connector in a socket. Hook up has a wider range of meanings to do with connections. Again we can use it to talk about connecting equipment. But we might also hook people up to the internet or to IV drips.

The best way to learn phrasal verbs is to see them in action

What did Jay say at the end of the video? Mission failed or mission fell? To me it sounded as mission fell, but fell doesn’t make sense in that context.

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

He was supposed to say 'Mission failed' Artur, and he did a couple of times, but then he started saying 'Mission Fail', which also make sense, so I left it there and didn't make him shoot it again. :-)

[@steffis4480]

May I ask something? Is there a difference betwenn "turn on", "turn off" and "switch on" and "switch off"? I always thought that "switch on/off" is a synonyme, but it's more informal. Is this right? :O Thank you so much for your efforts ♥ I really do appreciate that! *____* Jay should get rewarded with an oscar! Beste male-robot actor :D

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

In the context of making electrical equipment start to work, I'm afraid I'm not sure what the difference is Stefanie. I'd need to research it.

[@zedreck7152]

Switch on is the same as turn on and switch off is the same as turn off. I guess there’s just more ways of saying it. Turn on can also mean many other things too. I usually turn on/turn off things that don’t have a switch and switch on/switch off things that have a switch and not a button, but there’s nothing stopping you from using either one or the other.

[@steffis4480]

@@zedreck7152 Thank you very, very much for your explanation! That just makes sense to me, since some devices have a switch and some don't. And yes - there are indeed a few other situations, where "turn on/off" could be used *girlish giggle* Thaaaaaaanks a lot 😍😍
