I'm passionate about I consider myself a very passionate person but there are certain causes I'm also
-
passionate about and here is one of them MS

2.3 million people around the world are living with MS

-
the first caring phrasal verb is look after if you look after someone it means you
-
take care of them you make sure they have everything they need perhaps
-
they're sick or they just need guidance. A child for example would need to be
-
looked after. In fact I need to be looked after most of the time too. We all need a looking after
-
we all need a little looking after but you can also use the
-
phrasal verb look after when you're talking about objects so if I have a
-
precious watch and I say I need to take this off but I don't want to lose it, it means
-
a lot to me would you look after it for me and in that case I'm asking you to keep it safe to
-
keep it for me until I can come back and retrieve it so tell me have you ever
-
had to look after somebody besides yourself
-
here are some example sentences
-
Don't worry about anything. I will look after you
-
He's not old enough to look after himself properly. Therefore I suggest that he stays with you for a little while so that you can look after him.
-
caring phrasal verb number 2 is pretty much the same as number 1 and it is
-
care for To care for If you care for someone it means that you look after
-
them. You make sure they have everything they need.
-
We tend to care for older people.
-
We care for children, for babies, for animals even.
-
Here are some example sentences:
-
Who will care for her after the operation?
-
Please don't hire a nurse. I want to care for you myself.
-
Caring phrasal verb number 3 is wrap up. wrap up
-
Notice that the W is silent. Now if you're saying to someone wrap up,
-
then what you're doing is telling them to put on warm clothing.
-
Perhaps to wrap up in lots of layers.
-
OH! It's freezing cold today.
-
I better wrap up warm. Whoa.
-
It's just freezing outside so make sure you wrap up warm.
-
Caring phrasal verb number 4 is to lie down. to lie down
-
asking someone to lie down, is to instruct them to place their body in a horizontal position
-
so that they can sleep or rest. I'm just going to lie down for a little while
-
If someone is feeling unwell or they're very tired, then you might say to them
-
Look, Lie down. Have a rest. That will make you feel better.
-
Here's another example sentence:
-
I will finish tidying the house while you go and lie down.
-
Caring phrasal verb number 5 is to rest up. rest up
-
This basically means to rest yourself thoroughly, so to have a good rest.
-
David was looking unwell, so I told him to go home and rest up.
-
And the final caring phrasal verb is to slow down. to slow down
-
This means to be less active and to rest more.
-
So if someone is very very busy in their lives they're doing lots of lots of things
-
and you can see it's not good for them and you would advise them
-
to slow down a bit. Take it easy. Slow down
-
I think I need to slow down a little bit. How about you?
-
The doctor has warned me, that if I don't slow down, then I may have a heart attack.
