  • And Fraser verbs are terrible.

  • Um, when we use them all the time, it's very confusing.

  • And you have to know them.

  • If you want to become fluent in English and understand what people around you are saying and become a wonderful English speaker, you have to learn these crazy phrase of verbs a phrase a verb is a verb with a proposition.

  • Down, up by with 24 take a verb and stick all of these propositions in front of them behind them.

  • Highest insult ever given to phrase of herbs.

  • I'm gonna walk you through some of the fun ones with stand.

  • They're so fun.

  • So how Ronnie, did you come up with this lesson?

  • Why did you to stand okay.

  • Answer.

  • I was watching a movie called Stand By Me.

  • Oh, there's an entire movie based on a phrase a verb.

  • Wow.

  • So then I thought Damn.

  • Do you know what people need to know what this movie is about.

  • Have you watched that movie classic 19 eighties Great movie had some really, really young actors in it that have now become more famous or died.

  • But I really recommend the movie Stand by Me, and what the story is about is a group of young boys who I'm not going to give away the ending because I don't remember the ending our group of boys who think that they have found a dead body.

  • Somebody found a dead body and they go unless that boy adventure to find the dead body and look at it cool.

  • I don't know if they ever found the dead body, because I didn't watch the end of the movie.

  • But stand by me means that the boys will always support each other.

  • This is one of our phase of ribs.

  • Stand by me.

  • Also a song.

  • Okay, it's been redone, but I think it's Otis Redding.

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, people, please.

  • In the comments, Ronnie wasn't Otis Redding.

  • It was whose song, the classic song Stand By Me.

  • It's been covered 1000 times, so I only need the original thank you standby mean means to support someone.

  • If we take after me, we just have standby.

  • And that means weight.

  • So you can fly on standby, which is a noun or adjective.

  • And that means you have to wait for the airplane because the airplanes late.

  • So if you stand by, it means you're waiting for someone.

  • But if you're standing by me means we're together and we're not waiting, so be careful about that one.

  • You can stand with someone this quite physically means that you're going to stand beside the person.

  • Hey, how you doing?

  • Good.

  • But in an more unf is ical, meaning it means that you're going to support the person.

  • So let's say that someone is at your office or one of your friends has a strong political statement and you're like, You know what?

  • I agree with you.

  • I'm going to stand with you on this subject.

  • I'm going to support you.

  • So stand with someone and stand by.

  • Someone means the same.

  • This is more casual, friendship, love.

  • This is more political.

  • I think, Um oh, I hate this.

  • Stand over someone, someone or so, Yeah, Someone looks okay to look over someone's shoulder.

  • I remember in school I was doing my work was the promise.

  • I was doing my work and the teacher would come and literally stand behind me and look over my shoulder to see what I was doing.

  • I'm doing private things, Teacher.

  • Do people do this to you?

  • I hate this.

  • Please keep your distance.

  • Stand back.

  • Good.

  • I can do my work.

  • I wasn't doing my work.

  • I can do my work without you watching me.

  • When you watch me do my work, I get nervous and I stopped.

  • So to stand over someone.

  • It's not a comfortable situation for the the person sitting down, okay.

  • And the next one is a very curious word if I take out the space here, so I use it as one word standoff.

  • It's actually a noun, and it means a confrontation.

  • Um, in Canada, we have confrontations between political parties.

  • We have confrontations between people.

  • Um, but we usually use it for groups of people.

  • Native indigenous people in Canada will have a stand off against the government for their equal rights.

  • Um, as a phrase, a verb we can say stand off to the side.

  • Oh, so if I stand off to the side.

  • It means that I move out of the way and then I come back in the picture.

  • So as a phrase or word, stand off to the side basically means you move to one side, moved to the right, move to the left, shake it up, shake your top move right, move left.

  • Stand on.

  • I can stand on something so I'm physically on top of something right now.

  • I can stand on the chair.

  • I'm not going to do that because I would fall.

  • Um, you can stand on somebody's head.

  • Don't do that either.

  • That's it's a bad thing.

  • Don't stand on people's heads.

  • You can stand on many things, but quite dangerous.

  • So keep your feet on the floor, stand on the floor.

  • Next one, we have stand up.

  • So that's what I said in the beginning of the video.

  • I said, Oh, I stood up.

  • This is the present tense.

  • Stand up, basically, is the opposite of sit down because you're moving from a position of up to down.

  • So a lot of the times, in different situations, someone said, Hey, stand up, Okay, great.

  • Got it if we had four is still a phrase over.

  • But we stand up for something.

  • This means I defend something So I will stand up for women's rights.

  • I will stand up for equality.

  • Opposite of up is down.

  • What are we doing down?

  • If you stand down in a work kind of way, it means that you leave a high position in the company.

  • Okay, so you say.

  • Oh, um, also politically, the Prime Minister stood down from his position.

  • Why did he do that?

  • I would like to know.

  • Also stand down.

  • Ironically means that you choose not to fight.

  • Or is that the same?

  • So if you stand down from something in a job, it means you leave a high position.

  • But if you stand down from an issue, it means you're like, Yep, no give up.

  • I stand down, I surrender.

  • I choose not to play this game and not to fight.

  • Um, stand for school.

  • There is a wonderful band called The Street Dogs and they have a wonderful song, Great lyrics that says, Stand for something or you'll die for nothing.

  • Represent what you're talking about.

  • Okay, this is a great expression that you should know.

  • Sometimes we have short forms of things or representations like BBC.

  • And you think, what does B B C stand for?

  • The same for big black cookie.

  • I love this.

  • It means you accept something, But most of the time we use it in a negative, and we say I won't stand for that.

  • That means I will not accept it.

  • And no, you know what?

  • You did something wrong.

  • I just don't like that.

  • And I'm not gonna sit here.

  • Oh, I sound like my mom and I'm not standing for that.

  • I'm not accepting that at all from you.

  • So change your ways, young lady.

  • Um, stand back means to keep a distance.

  • Now we use a wonderful turn of phrase called social distancing physical distancing.

  • But you could just say stand back.

  • This means 6 ft, man.

  • 6 ft Stand out.

  • Now, I quite like this is in a personal level because you always want to stand out from the crowd.

  • That means you want to be very noticeable, that you're different.

  • So standing out usually, you know, some people think it's negative.

  • You know, that person really stood out, but most of the time it's a positive thing that someone notices you and your different remember that being different is wonderful.

  • Oh, are you lazy?

  • You're at work and you're kind of not doing your work talking to your co workers, having fun, having giggles.

  • Um, this one is kind of sad past tense, so the passive standards stood and you might hear someone say, Oh, my God, he stood me up last night or she stood me up on Saturday and you think, Did you fall down?

  • You can't get up yourself what's happened.

  • But to stand someone up means they didn't attend a date.

  • We always use this in social situations.

  • If somebody doesn't go to a meeting, we wouldn't say they stood you up.
