REALLY USEFUL Phrasal Verbs with BE

Here are some really useful phrasal verbs (and idioms and adjectives) with the verb TO BE. Phrasal verbs are often confusing and this is especially true of those with the verb TO BE. It's important that you understand them and, with some practice you can use them too.
This video was recorded in on the streets of London. Especially the West End. I hope you enjoy it.

[@gr8wings]

Hey, you're still into blondes, aren't you ! :-) cheers and thank you very much for your videos. I'll stick around waiting for the next lesson !

[@DeYiZhiMusilin]

Hi there! I’m not sure whether anybody still follows these old comments, but I would like to suggest one phrasal verb with “to be up to” with Mr Gideon-I would not say he omitted it, and if so, certainly deliberately - but, well, he might as well have added it anyway - and this is “to be up to something” in the sense of being able or willing to do something. Example: “are you up to the challenge?” “I doubt that he is up to the requirements of his new assignment.”

[@jayatibatabyal9148]

Extremely useful, Sir. Thank you very much.

[@othernicksweretaken]

Ha ha, an epic phrase worthwhile remembering, "Hey Sammy, what are you up to with the shovel and that cheese and the booze?". Spades of gluttony and bacchanal in the aftermath of the blaze.

[@imanerim989]

Very useful.Thanks a million👍

[@LetThemTalkTV]

Thanks a million for your comment

[@Joanna-bk4fc]

What a horrible armchair next to you (I guess it was not the Great Fire of London that destroyed it). It was better to be out of that café and to record the video outside. I wish I had been into English more than I am at the moment, but I am quite busy with other things. Anyway, I thank you so much for your videos.

[@taniaschmitz631]

I like your classes very much! A hug from Brazil!

[@teodoramorar8015]

Teacher...so glad to see ur having fun....

[@LetThemTalkTV]

Teaching is always fun. Especially with nice students.

[@catprw9966]

Hi Gideon, saying Durian’s off is like saying Reblochon cheese is stinky 😹 That’s the most expensive fruit in the world and my number one... Don’t smell it.. Try it..

[@christianedoeur9394]

Yes, but even the Asians say "horrible smell, divine taste"!!!

[@MatheusCarvalho-ji5uc]

Awesome tips and footage 👍🏻

[@NicolaSiliprandi70]

Hello Gideon! :-) Great lesson and nice footage! Please tell the owner of the shop you're before at the introduction and at the end of you video that the word "foccacia" is spelled wrongly. Correct form is "focaccia" (Italian bread). Greetings from Italy and a super hug :-)

[@LetThemTalkTV]

Ha ha.I will tell them next time I'm there. Though maybe it's written in a London dialect of Italian.

[@NicolaSiliprandi70]

[@arrow12680]

Sir! Just new in your channel, recently l've been watching those video regarding how to answers interview question. Recently l had an interview to my future employer ( Soon to start ). During that time l was prepared for whatever question they ask about my previous job history. Luckily they just asked me one question " Do you really like to work with us" l just say ' When can l start?' Thanks for the tips...Cheers!

[@anetaostaszewska]

Thank you for this episode! I am a huge fan of autobiographies, especially diares, so it's good to learn something about Samuel Pepys. Bth, I have got his book, The diary...

[@monaarchy2367]

durian is many in philippines

[@dyhialellouche551]

thanx a lot

[@elliefote4519]

Good stuff.

[@mohammedelfarra3900]

Dear Great teacher I was wondering which is correct "felt the most scared" or, "felt scared the most" Cheers and stay mellow

[@josephcote6120]

Neither of those really sound right. You can say "I felt afraid" or "I feel sad" This shows a mild feeling. It depends what you mean. If you're speaking only about yourself, you might say, "I've never been so scared" (Does not need to be literally true) or "I was very scared." if you are speaking about a group you were in, you might say, "Everyone was afraid, but I was the most scared of all."

[@aweisali97]

Wow

[@kubaemang7856]

daddy

[@مروانحسن-غ7ف]

I can't meet you tomorrow ,I ( am doing ,am going to do)my homework.

[@josephcote6120]

Most natural would be, "I can't meet you tomorrow, I will be doing homework." but "I am going to" can be used as "I am going to be doing homework" Any sentence that describes a future action can be used. "I have a doctor's appointment" I am going to Spain for a week" "I have made other plans already."

[@alfredomarciel]

If it was up to me? Should not be “If it were”?

[@josephcote6120]

Depends on when the decision could have been made or was made. "The choice was fish or beef, it was up to me and I chose beef." (Past) "London or Paris, It's up to you." (Present) "You can buy a car or go on a vacation, it will be up to you." (Future) "If it was up to me, all parking would be free" or "Were it up to me..." (Subjunctive)

[@mjoserosero2855]

Hi Gideon!, thank you so much for one more mega useful lesson with such good examples, and as I live here in London I can assure those expressions and idioms are used very very very often, some of them I already knew and used them. After I repeat your lesson 3 times I'm confident to use tomorrow those which are new for me. I've got a question about the last phrasal verb: "To be around", you say that this phrasal verb means "to be available" what I didn't quite get is if "to be around" involves one different meaning as a kind of proximity in the space. Could you please tell me if my example (meaning "to be available") is ok? ...."I'll be around tomorrow in the afternoon so we might meet any time between 12 p.m and 5 p.m.

[@LetThemTalkTV]

Thanks for your comment. I'm glad you found it useful. Yes, your example is correct. "To be around" is used for proximity in space. "I'll be around your neighbourhood this evening" and also for availability in time. "If you want to call me, I'll be around between 5 and 7pm".

[@mjoserosero2855]

Many Thanks Gideon!

[@kekkekovich1423]

Really useful. Do you use an expression "out of the loop"?

[@josephcote6120]

Yes (American at least) It means someone is not included in a group that shares information. "I was still working hard on the big project when they announced it was canceled. Everyone else had already heard the office gossip and had started work on other things. I am really out of the loop."

[@perefusterescriva1510]

.

[@elgatocapibara]

Can you say that a singer's voice is "off" when it sounds poor?

[@plantagenant]

Yes.

[@josephcote6120]

The usual phrase is "off key" when they sing wrong notes. To just say "off" really isn't used much. You would probably say the specific thing that you didn't like. "She sings like she is being burned alive." But if the problem is minor or hard to describe one could say "There's just something a little off when he sings the low notes."

[@pawekrajnik274]

Fantastic lesson, thanks Gideon 😀
