You need to know more than just what the phrasal verbs are. First, you must understand all of the different meanings a phrasal verb has. Second, each phrasal verb has its own English grammar. For instance, does each meaning make the phrasal verb transitive or intransitive? Also, is it split particle, unsplit or possibly either?
In this video, I teach 8 of the most difficult phrasal verbs with a combined total of 102 meanings. Watch the video, and you will improve your English speaking skills and your overall English language ability.
I am a native speaker of English, and have taught English at a UK university for 14 years.

Unmatched Explanation!!! I have a question sir? Can we make sentence in this formation for future time or purpose ? Can/could/may/might/should/would+have +past participle (v3) for future time? Wait for your response and video on this topic. Thanks a lot!!!

[@EnglishwithRupert]

Thanks Deed! That's a great question! Yes, there is one situation where you could make "modal + have + been" take on a (kind of) future meaning. This is where something is due to happen in the future, but then for some reason the plan is changed and it is no longer due to happen. You could say "It's a shame it was cancelled. It would have been wonderful!" or "Perhaps it's a good thing because it might have cost too much money". In these sentences, you're imagining being in the future, looking back from that point of time at the event that didn't happen, and speculating on what the outcome of the event would be. Isn't English amazing?! 😁

[@deed2862]

Thanks Sir !!!

Can we use get in as a synonym with arrive or come this way for instance: I got in my grandparents' home at midday?

[@EnglishwithRupert]

Hi Ismael! As soon as you add the object, it turns the listeners attention to another use of "get in", which is more or less covered by meaning 4 in the video (although if I was writing the video again I would have made this clearer 🙂) - the most common use of "get in" + object (where the object comes after) is to make something enter another thing (or someone enter a place) but what makes "get in" different to "enter" is that it communicates some sort of difficulty (e.g. an urgency, as I mentioned in meaning 4 in the video). So if I say "I got in my grandmother's house at midnight", yes we are aware of the time but the main point is that I entered her house and something about it wasn't easy (e.g. it was about to rain and I avoided getting wet). If you are being very informal, you might use "get in" in this context simply to mean enter "Have you got in the car yet?", but this isn't usually done with the time phrase. However, when we drop the object and just add the time e.g. "I got in at midnight", then the meaning changes slightly; we are now focused on the time that we entered (i.e. arrived), and are no longer concerned with any difficulty. Sorry I didn't explain this more clearly in the video but to be honest I was worried that 55 minutes was long enough and I didn't want to make the video any longer - I think this shows just how complex these phrasal verbs are 😁😁😁 Thanks for the comment and giving me the opportunity to explain in more depth! Best wishes Rupert

[@enricobersani830]

I have a question, do native speaker even know these phrasal verbs?

[@EnglishwithRupert]

Hi Enrico - yes, they actually do 🙂 but they would never think "wow, there are so many meanings to these phrasal verbs" - they just instinctively use them correctly through context. A lot of English humor comes from mixing up phrasal verb contexts! Thanks for commenting 🙂
