Once again with test, you're english, are you ready for?

Today's test is on fraser verbs, those naughty words that cause people so many difficulties and I understand why you've got a verb and a preposition and when the verb is by itself it means something almost completely different than when it's in its phrase.

All verb forms.

For example pick up, pick means to choose, but when you say to pick up it means to meet a friend and take them into a restaurant, you pick them up.

Crazy.

I know.

So today we're going to test your english with phrases, verbs that mean the exact opposite.

So I'm going to teach you four pairs of fraser verbs and how they are opposite and how you can use this english to improve your english.

So you're like a native speaker.

So let's go to the board and I've noticed e is playing the game himself, Pass out, he's saying what happened?

Do you know what that means?

Let's go to the board and play.

So question # one which phrase a verb means to come to a place that was not planned or expected?

Right.

Right.

Yeah.

Is it end up or start out?

Were you able to guess the answer is end up?

Did you get it wrong?

Did you get it right.

Don't worry After this segment we're going to take an opportunity to explain what each one means, but you're still playing the game That would have got you 10 points if you got it right, if you didn't get it right?

Don't worry about it.

How about the next one, put on your thinking cap.

Which phrase a verb means to accumulate something by putting parts or materials together and accumulate means to put things together.

Okay, in case you get confused.

So accumulate.

All right, So which phrase over means to accumulate something by and that means make it larger by gathering things by putting parts or materials together.

Is it build up or die down?

That's annoying for you.

It's annoying for me to kill my throat anyway.

Is it build up or down down?

What did you guess?

Did you guess fills up You got yourself 10 points if you didn't stick around?

Oh no.

Right.

Question number three.

Which phrase Albert means to be conscious?

Which phrase of rabin's to be conscious?

Is it pass out or come to for 30 points did you get come to?

I hope you did.

And if you got zero, I'm glad you're watching this lesson because you've got a lot of education coming up in a second or two.

Now, finally, our final question, this will show you can pat yourself on the back if you get this one on all of these correct.

Which phrase a verb means to prevent someone from doing something by talking about it?

Sorry, talking about good reasons for not doing it.

That's a mouthful.

Which phrase a verb means to prevent someone from doing something by talking about good reasons for not doing it.

Is it talk out of or talk into this is a tough one because they're both talk it's talk out of.

So if you did this right, you got 40 points.

If not you need to join me in a second or two, see you in the board, wow.

These kids don't even appreciate the work.

Hi, we're back.

Game show, That's right.

Test your english.

Now think back.

What was your score before we went away?

Did you get perfect?

Mm don't worry about it because here I'm going to give you the information you need to understand how these pairs work.

Now if you recall rightly I told you these are opposites and I place them on the board that way That one is the opposite of the other.

Sometimes it's easy because you can see that they have opposite words as in start or end.

But what do they mean?

Let's find out to start out.

It means to begin just as start means the beginning To move or to act.

We usually use this with businesses when you can say something.

Like I started out with $1 and I grew a multibillion dollar business, right?

It means we began here and we moved to a certain place.

So what does end up mean?

It doesn't just mean end when we talk about fraser verbs and I mentioned at the beginning a verb has a specific meaning, but as soon as you end up at a preposition it can slightly change it in this case, end up means yes, you got to a certain place or ended there, but it's not what you planned on or expected.

Okay, so you can imagine going to um Going to and this happened to me one time I went to a bar, popular bar, some friends invited me to and I didn't know this at the time, but it was a a drag show.

Maybe you don't know what that is, it's where men can dress up as women and they entertain people, right?

Um so I thought we were going to sit down and have a nice dinner and I'm all dressed up for it and they've got a young man doo doo doo doo doo doo and dancing in the middle for like, I didn't know I was gonna end up here, I wouldn't dress like this for that.

So where I ended up, yes, it was dinner, but not the way I had planned and that's end up.

Okay, so the next one we have is build up and die down.

Okay, so when we talk about building up is to accumulate or assemble by putting parts together, um some of you guys, I don't have it today, I don't have my batman shirt or for the batman mosque and if you've been with me long enough, you know, I love batman while I have built up a collection of batman, I probably have 1000 and that's just one section of things I've collected over years.

Right?

So, build up to accumulate over time.

The opposite of that is to die down because as something builds up, it gets bigger and bigger will die down means to go smaller and smaller.

So, in fact, the crowd was very loud and then it died down.

So it means to go from something larger to something smaller.

All right, So, if there's a really windy, the wind can die down to nothing.

So the opposite of getting more is getting less to gradually become less strong.

Right?

So, what about these ones pass out and come to, well, if you love to drink like I do, and I love a nice glass of whiskey.

Sometimes I drink too much and I pass out and when I come to I end up with the way this place is my bad, Scottish Scottish accents.

Thank Thank heavens.

No, Scottish.

People will watch this video.

Uh So, when you pass out, it means to suddenly become unconscious and that's not about alcohol.

Only a lot of people pass out because they drink too much.

So you drink too much, you fall asleep unexpectedly, but you can pass out because it's too hot.

Like if you're on a bus and it's very, very hot and they don't take down the windows.

Someone might pass out beside you.

Or like my mom.

My mom, I love you mom.

She hates the sight of blood.

If she sees blood, she help us out.

Right?

It means you just lose consciousness consciousness suddenly an unexpected.

So what has come to mean?

We'll pass out means that, but come to means to come back to consciousness now.

You're gonna say, oh, James, I know when I go to sleep at night, I sleep and then I come to in the morning wrong.

Just like passing out is unexpected.

You come to after being knocked out.

That could be from it being too warm, drinking too much.

Getting punched in the head.

All right.

Mike.

Tyson.

Mike.

Tyson punches you in the head.

You're gonna come to next week.

That's right, Michael, I'm making fun of you, but you don't know where it is.

He.

I shouldn't do that because I hear the man is making a comeback and he looks really good.

So to come to is if you get knocked out by something, something makes you fall asleep.

Or if you drank too much.

And it's almost the opposite of pass out, right?

Almost.

Except we talked about being knocked out when you pass out that you're not going to be.

It's not someone hitting you, right?

It's other conditions that make you fall asleep unexpectedly.

So come to you don't come to in the morning because you didn't fall asleep unexpectedly, did you?

You went to bed with the idea of sleeping.

So you wake up remember that?

All right?

All right.

So after we've done that, let's talk about talk out of and talk into these are very, very similar.

And you might have been able to guess this simply because we don't talk out talk into and you know out would mean to leave and it means to come into.

So when we talk people out of something, we can do it in two ways.

You will find most of the dictionaries will say to talk someone from doing something and talking about the good reasons not to do it.

But you can also talk them out of doing it by telling them the bad things that will happen if they do it.

Okay?

So that's it.

So when you talk someone out of something, you prevent them from doing something they wanted to do by talking about either the good reasons not to do it.

Don't quit school when you're 15, it's going to be very bad and hard for you to get a job in the future.

Right?

And if you don't quit school, you can get a good job.

So I've done both negative and positive, but I'm trying to talk you out of doing something to talk you into something is to get you to do something right?

Many of you have bought cars or clothing that maybe you didn't want.

But that salesperson was like you look just so good in it.

You look amazing.

I tell you you gotta you gotta have it.

Your friends going to talk about it, you'll be the greatest, will be the greatest ever.

I promise you see they talked you into it.

You bought it and now you're at home regretting it talking to a whole bunch you aren't I?

Mm Okay so people can talk you into something just as they can talk you out of something.

Alright so I've explained the pairs now what I want you to do if that was if you understand this maybe go over the quiz I gave you at the beginning and check to see the answers and you'll go oh that just makes sense now and clearly it will now this is a class and I consider it a full class that you're being given so we have to do the bonus section.

What's the bonus here you know?

But James, you just taught me pass out and come to did I did I?

Well the other thing about fraser verbs which is most interesting that if you have a phrase a verb or the reason why we as native speakers use it is because it can, it's a very handy tool.

It's like a level, it makes everything goes straight.

Um what I mean by that is we can use one phrase a verb in several different instances.

We don't have to change it and all native speakers understand it for instance you can pick up your phone right, you can pick up a signal, you can pick up a friend, it's like how can you use that for so many.

We know the same is here when I said pass out.

I told you is to fall unconscious unexpectedly.

However, it also means to give something out and schools, you hear people say can you please pass out the books or pass out the tests.

So don't think that somebody is getting a test and falling asleep unconscious all of a sudden.

They might say can you pass this out please?

And it means to give out.

That's another meaning of pass out.
