Today we're talking about phrase all verbs, in particular, the word look. So obviously we know that phrase. All verbs are essentially a verb, followed by another word which completely changes the meaning off what the verb would normally mean. So I know we all love them, so let's get into it. So we have Look up, look up to look down on look over, look in on, look through, look after look into look out on the option for look out for Andi. Look around. So I'm going to break all of these raisel verbs down on. Make them nice and simple for you. So let's get started with look up so literally. To look up means to look above you. Look up at the sky. Look up at the moon Eso It's just using your eyes in the direction off above you. But to look up can also mean that things are becoming good or positive. So say you have a business and it's starting to make lots of money on. It's looking good. You could say that things are starting to look up or things are looking up. So the situation is changing. It's becoming positive on now. We have look up to so very similar word at the start, but the look up is now followed by a two two meaning direction. You're directing what you're looking up at something what it means really. If you look up to someone, it means you respect or admire them. So if you look up to someone, for example, your father and you respect him and admire him, you would say I look up to my father. It means that you want to be like your father. He is your role model on a role model is someone that you admire. You want to be like them, so you look up to them easy. Now we have look down on so down it means beneath you. So before we were looking up, Now we're looking down, so it's the opposite off. Looking up to someone you're now looking down on them. I'll give you an example. I looked down on him. He is a bad person. In a way. This means that they are less than you. They are inferior inferior means they are lower than you. They are worse, Andi, just generally below you. So for another example, if someone in your class is worse at English than you, you look down on them because they are worse. But it is quite rude to say in that context. Next, one look over. So to look over something generally literally means to look over like a wall or a fence. You put your hands on it and climb over it and peek your head over to look over. But it can also mean to check something in, um, or skim through kind of way quickly. So, for example, an essay or report you might ask someone, Can you look over this for me? So you would say this. If you want someone to just quickly check your report before you hand it into the boss just to make sure there's no missed a CSIs and that it's a lie kind of correct. It's not quite as thorough as the next one. I'm going to show you, though, which is a look through, so this generally means to inspect on, to look for details in detail, so it's a bit more of a thorough version off. Look over. It requires mawr commitment. So, for an example, if you've lost something in your house and you're looking everywhere for it, you can't find it. You could say I will look through the bin, meaning you will look in the bin to see if you can find it. This one is quite common. So make sure you've got this one on. Now we have look in on. So generally we might ask someone to look in on something if we want them to take care of it or some one. So, for example, you could be going on a holiday for the weekend, which is exciting. I wish I was. Andi, you could say to your neighbor, I am going away this weekend. Can you look in on the house? So this is just a way of asking the person to take care of the house occasionally while I'm gone. So just to look in on the house and make sure it hasn't burnt down now probably the most used phrase all verb in this presentation is look after it's similar to look in on on. It does mean to take care off something, but this one requires a bit Mawr efforts on DCA commitment. So once again, we're going away on holiday. Yea on we can say, Can you look after my cat while I'm gone? Meaning, Can you take care of the cat while I'm gone? It just means a little bit more effort on commitment needs to go into it because it's a cat. It's not, You know, it's a light. It's a bit more important. So we need to look after it now for look into this one's used quite a lot in business language. Andi. Generally it means to investigate eso to look into something. Eso, for example. We're going to a travel agent because we're going to book our holiday on. We want them to ask that we want them to find out some or information about a hotel on. They say I will look into it, meaning they'll do a bit of investigating a bit of research and they will find out Maura about the hotel for us. They will look into it and find out some details. Next up, look out eso. Firstly, I'll do look out and then I'll get onto the look out for but look out is very commonly used. For example, I'm throwing a ball. I completely miss my target. It's about to hit you in the head. I would shout, Look out to make sure it doesn't hit you on dure aware off what's going on. In contrast, a similar phrase is to look out for something it means to pay attention. So imagine I've lost my dog. I'm looking for it. I'm looking out for it myself, trying to see if I can find it anywhere. But if I approach a stranger, I could say to them, Can you look out for my dog? I've lost him, meaning just to make the person aware off what's going on. The dog is missing. If you see it, I just want you to be aware on. Let me know if you find him on our final Fraser verb off today is to look around literally. To look around means to look around, just means to see what is around you with your eyes on look. But to look around can also mean to browse browsing means to look and see what is available around you. Sorry, I'm saying the word around a lot. Anyway, this phrase is really useful. Um, I'm sure you've had this experience before. I've worked in retail myself, so I was that annoying sales assistant. But imagine you're in a shop and you've got a sales assistant who won't leave you alone. He keeps asking you. Can I help you? Is there anything you're looking for today? You know, they just want to make money out of you. Well, you can just say no, thanks. I'm just looking around on this. Just means I'm browsing. I'm just seeing what is here. I may buy something I may not, but I'm just looking around. This is really commonly used as well. So and it's a good one to have under your belt. So remember, this one on now is the fun part. It's your turn. I want you to write in the comments section, and I want you to tell me anything using one of these phrase of verbs. It could be anything. It could be something true. It could be something you make up. But I want you to use thes Fraser verbs and practice practice makes perfect. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the video on I hope you're understanding. Or Fraser verbs.
