I know you think, Ronnie, how are phrasal verbs fun?

Nothing is fun with phrasal verbs, but you know, it'll be fun because I'm going to tell you some jokes, and then you can tell your friends some jokes, and you guys can all laugh, and it'll be a great time.

That's an interesting get-up you're wearing.

Do you think that style will ever come back?

If you look at this phrasal verb, come back, it means return.

So, now if I say, hey, that's an interesting get-up you're wearing.

Do you think that style will come back into fashion?

Because right now, it's terribly not in fashion.

So, come back, as a phrasal verb, here means return.

So, your friend rocks up with this, like, crazy outfit, maybe from, well, the 80s have come back into style or something, maybe from the 90s, and you're like, whoa, hey, nice ripped jeans, buddy.

Do you think that fashion will return and become stylish again?

Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, yeah.

We need to give his parents a book on how to bring up children.

One, you can physically bring something up, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, like raise it.

And number two, if you bring up a kid or children, it means you teach them manners.

A lot of people aren't taught manners these days, I think.

So, this is funny because it has a double meaning.

One, you're physically bringing the kid up out of the hole, and two, you're teaching the parents, like, hey, don't let your kid run around a construction site where there's holes and they can fall down.

So, if you put on something, like a light, it means you turn it on or give power to something.

So, in English, we can say, I'm going to turn on the light or put on the lamp.

The second meaning is we mean it to wear clothes.

So, it's like the person saying, like, hey, hey, should I wear this lamp?

The person's like, nah, nah, nah, don't change your outfit, it's already cool.

So, put on, in this case, has two meanings.

One is wear, and the other one is turn on.

They're phrasal verbs, you got to make them fun.

Is it true that tall people look down on short people?

So, maybe you know this phrasal verb, to look down on something is you're physically taller than someone and you...

But in this case, to look down on someone means you think they are less than you.

Maybe socially, economically, intelligently, I don't know.

So, to look down on someone means to think they are less than you.

A way that you can learn phrasal verbs is make jokes from them.

Once you understand that phrasal verbs have more than one meaning, then your brain begins to go, oh, hey, Ronnie, I could be a stand-up comedian and tell all these wonderful jokes with phrasal verbs.

I'm going to be right back with some more of these so you can continue your laughing spree.

They're horrible, but you're learning English and you're learning phrasal verbs and it's not boring, so stick with it.
