Hello everybody and welcome to
-
and welcome to Vancouver
-
yes, we're outside again to learn some "be" phrasal verbs
-
so let's go!
-
"be up to", be up to means you're doing something and sometimes it can be devious
-
so you could say: " what are you up to today?"
-
that just means: "what are you doing today?"
-
but if your mother sees you doing something bad when you're a kid
-
she'll say, "Junior, what are you up to?"
-
to be into something means that you're interested or involved in something
-
so you could be into
-
"to be down to" means that your supplies are running low
-
so you're driving along
-
and you see that your tank is getting very low on gas so
-
I'm down to my last litre or gallon of gas
-
Danger! Danger!
-
along those same lines we have "to be out of"
-
this means that you've toally run out of gas
-
that your supplies are exhausted
-
OK! So I'll tell a story as fast as I can
-
I had a friend and his wife and kids were doing nothing on a Sunday
-
and so I phoned him and I said, "what are you guys up to?"
-
and they said, "nothing much". And I said, "let's go on a boat ride"
-
and it was right here
-
at this marina
-
so the marina(staff) says, "OK guys, have a great time, but you only have 90 minutes"
-
OK, no problem!
-
so were taking pictures of seals and were taking pictures of birds and everything's great
-
until it comes up to around 70 minutes and I say, "it's time we started heading back guys"
-
but this couple wanted to get the best bang for their buck and said, "no, no let's take it to the limit"
-
"and we'll see if we can stay here until 85, 87 minutes and then go back to the dock"
-
so that's what we did and around 80 minutes I said
-
"let's head back" So I knew that we were down to our last litre at around 85 minutes
-
and then around 87 minutes, as we're coming into the dock
-
the boat dies, we we're out of gas
-
the only problem was that there was a huge ship coming in our direction
-
and it was sounding its fog horn
-
so I phoned the marina and I said, "phone the captain of the ship and tell him that we're out of gas"
-
and they(marina staff) said, "no, no just wave your arms" like this
-
so we did and luckily the boat went around us
-
so there you have a few of the expressions I used there
-
well everybody I'm out of time and I hope that you enjoyed my
-
be phrasal verbs here in West Vancouver
-
Bye for now!
-
"be up to" that means doing something, sometimes it can be.......oh what am I doing with my sunglasses on?
-
"to be in for something" is something that you expect or the person who's telling you expects
-
so you're in for a big surprise today it means that
-
you can expect a big surprise
-
and there goes a motorcycle, yes
-
....means that you're going to expect or going to know that you're gonna get a big treat
-
and another motorcycle, it must be Hells Angels' day
-
it's a convoy.no leaving it rolling this is bloopers, we've got a full charge here on the camera
-
yes....bye Hells Angels....go to heaven!!!!
-
yes this is a genetically modified Canadian Maple leaf
-
um.it was crossed with an elephant
-

-

-
