My name is Alicia, and today we're gonna talk about 10 phrase a ll verbs for talking about vehicles.

The first phrase will verb first phrase over biz.

Usually when you're driving very slowly, we usually use it for a parking lot.

So we'll use it an expression like pull into that space or pull in over there in the sentence.

It means usually to slowly move your car into a space into a parking space or maybe into a garage.

You're going into something usually very slowly toe pull in over here, pulling over there, pull into that parking lot, pull into that driveway, for example, so slowly move into another place.

Pull up in the sentence, I'll pull the car up in front of the hotel.

We usually use this when we want to slowly drive and then stop at a location.

So, for example, at a stop light, we would say, Pull up to the stoplight, so it means to slowly drive to a place and then stop.

So pull up next to the mailbox or pull up next to my house.

Pull up over there means slowly drive, and then stop at that place is pulled up.

The next expression is back up, back up, so back means reverse.

To back up a car is to move a car slowly in reverse.

So usually in most cases we drive cars going forward.

But you sometimes need to move your car in the opposite direction.

Back up out of the driveway, for example, it means to go slowly in reverse to back up in the sentence.

The truck backed up until it touched the loading dock.

The next expression we talked about pull in.

So pull in means to drive forward into something back in means to slowly go backward into something usually a parking space or a garage or something.

So back in is going river in reverse Pullen is going forward as usual.

So in a sentence back into the parking space, the next expression is rolled down.

This might be a little bit of an outdated expression at this point in time, but prior to the use of automatic windows, usually now I think most cars have a button and the window will automatically roll down.

But we used to have a manual, a hand crank in guards to roll down windows.

So this motion, which was used to move the window that was the that was also the verb we used.

We used roll, so this motion is like roll and then the window comes down.

So we combined the two to say, Roll down the window in a sentence, Roll down your window.

The next expression is head up and head down.

When you are trying to navigate in a city, you don't have to use these on Lee in cars.

You can use them when you're walking or traveling on foot as well on bicycle, whatever you can use, head up and head down any time you are trying to go somewhere so heads up and head down.

So I could say, like head up the street until you see a Starbucks and then turn right.

Generally, though, the difference between up and down here it has kind of like a north and South, at least in English.

So if, for example, I'm talking about the west Coast of the U.

Seattle is in the north and Los Angeles is in the South, I would say, I'm heading down.

I'm going to head down to Los Angeles from Seattle or I'm going to head up to Seattle from Los Angeles.

It sounds really strange if I say head up to Los Angeles because Los Angeles is south of Seattle.

So, uh, when you're thinking when you're speaking geographically, when you're speaking in terms of north and South for places, it's better to use head up or head down, depending on the location you're talking about coming from.

Let's see in this sentence, head down this street for a while.

This is a This is a word that we use Ah went in a car.

Let's say you're driving your car and then an animal comes out in front of the car.

So we can say, like, don't run over any animals or be careful not to run over your brother and the example sentence.

Or maybe I tripped or something like that when I was running, I fell down and he just He ran over me in the golf cart, like, ran over my leg, just drove right over my leg, and I was, like, Way got big trouble.

So pull over means usually you're driving the car and you want to make a stop.

So usually we use this, like on the side of the road or in a place where you wouldn't usually stop or in kind of a strange, not necessarily strange, but maybe not a typical place to stop a car.

So, for example, if there's like a bee in the car and to you like, I need to get this be out of my car, you can pull over to the side of the road.

We usually use it like pull over to the side of the road and, you know, do what you need to do.

Okay, so in a sentence, pull over at the next rest stop.

Yeah, so pull over is also used by the police as well as like a command.
