Hi Ben, I do appreciate the work you put into these mega cool lessons. "To bring about impressive progress in our writing, we need to use advanced phrasal verbs,too."

[@marlisagatto3841]

If you can, I have a suggestion for you Ben! Can you put like a summary of the vocabulary you discussed about at the end of the video? It’d be very useful 😊

[@cristinaolague1554]

I couldn't agree more. 😊

[@gardinchannel1166]

I've actually used "stemming from" before in a text because I've seen it written somewhere and I understood its application. But I've never thought of it as a phrasal verb. Very interesting! Perhaps because when you use the verb "to stem" without the addition of "from", you're specifically referring to the rising of the stalk of a plant from the ground.

[@freddiemercury8700]

Hii I just wanted to say that I watched ur videos to learn how to write proposals and essays for my CAE exam. I fo take CAE classes but they didnt teach writing. I only started take studying seriously about 2 weeks before my exam. I took the exam on 22nd if October, just yesterday. I took ur advise on doing reading first in use of English and reading and it really helped a lot. I thought I wouldn't have time for both of the writings but I was able to do do both!! Thank you so muchh

[@quocvietpham9189]

great video. Apart from "Factor in" and "Scale back", I know the rest. Just one question Mr. Ben: Is "scale back" akin to "scale down"? Thank you a lot

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Yes. They're basically synonyms but "scale down" is less common

[@martinuniverse]

In Spanish we say 'aludir a' to indirectly refer to sb/sth, it's quite similar to English 'allude to'. That's gonna be easy to learn.

[@cristinaolague1554]

It's true, I thought the same

Very useful lesson and if we use these according to the context, our speech, and the writing will be advanced. But, I've noticed one thing, a slight mistake has been made while writing the example with "rule out", for example, Boris Johnson hasn't rule himself out of the leadership election. Should be: Boris Johnson hasn't ruled himself out of the leadership election.

Hello, Ben! Thank you for your videos❤ I wanna ask you - can I use "factor in" when I write conclusions? Usually I start my summary with "taking into consideration" or "taking into account". What do you think?

You can, but it would depend on the context

Does scale back have the same meaning as cut down on? Thanks a lot for these useful phrasal verbs though i do know some of them while others are new to me like factor in and scale back 👍

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Yes, they have a similar meaning. "Scale back" is more systematic

So, is it correct to say that "scale back" is the closest antonym for "scale up"?

[@ayaankhurana4767]

Scale back : reduve in sizr or amount

Hi Ben do I hear it clearly : I recommend you you use????? at 1:40. Is it not incorrect grammatically to use dative after the verb recommend?

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

"I recommend you use..." is correct 🙂

[@idaornstein1305]

So rather than saying: they were able to ‘put out’ the fire. To be more formal is it better to use: ‘they extinguished’ the fire? Personally, phrasal verb usage is used in everyday speech and whatever needs to be written.

Hi Ive got a question Umm are these phrasal verbs practical for routine or you know we go to english class. Is it not silly to use these¿

[@cyruschang1904]

- There are so many options ... it's useful to narrow them down (to limit ourselves to) the most realistic. - E-scooters are becoming very popular, but we have to factor in (to consider) the weather - Allude to (hint at, refer to) : I often tell people if it's possible to sandwich the object between the verbe and the preposition, then it's a phrasal verbe. narrow down/factor in something = narrow/factor something down/in, but we can only say allude to xxxx, not allude xxxx to. - Scale back = cut back = scale down= cut down 🤓

Hi sir I hope you don’t mind if I may ask regarding level c1 and c2 Can I opt for your course directly to c2 proficiency course. I am from Indian and been in Germany for last 3 years. I guess my language skills are not same like back those days in India Please give me some guidance

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Hi. Yes, you can go for the C2 Proficiency course directly. The courses are specifically designed to help students prepare for the Cambridge English exams, so the question is whether you have the C2 level (or can reach that level before the exam). The courses focus on strategy and tips for each part of the exam.
