Hi this is Ceema and I am back with a new lesson

to explain something as an expression in English

right?  So, Do you know some phrasal verbs

have multiple meanings. So you can have one phrasal verb

but it can mean a lot of different things depending on the way you use it

right?  So, this lesson is going to really improve

the way you speak if you use your phrasal verbs

phrasal verb 'take off' -  the first meeting for that would be

when an airplane or a plane for that matter

this is probably the most common meaning of 'take off' that you may have come across

is going to take off at exactly two minutes past seven in the morning

the runway, go off the ground into the air that's the first meaning

of 'take off' okay.  What is the other meaning of take off? It could mean many

as we already agreed-upon right so take off

in popularity it becomes very very popular so for example you could say

Nicki Minaj her new video really took off

hidden just a few weeks time so in a few weeks time

maybe you know there were a lot of people buying her

her CDs, a lot of people watching her videos

so her video really took off meaning it really

meaning of take off or another way you could use this phrasal verb

is when you are indicating that you want to remove

take off your jacket, okay, take off your shoes

take off your watch, take off your t-shirt

so take off is... you know an expression you will use when you want to tell

or you wanna say that you want to remove clothing

so this is an informal way of saying it, okay

this is an informal way you will not use it

in....you know in a business meeting So,  when you're at a friends house

when you want to leave your friends house you can say

and  just take off that's an informal way of putting it

but if you're in a meeting then you might not wanna say that you can't say

okay I'm gonna take off now you don't say that in a formal

setting okay this is an informal way to say that you are

that you are..... you know..... you're gonna stop

maybe you've had a baby and you couldn't continue your studies right so you say

I took off up from studying for a while because I had a baby last summer

for a while because I  got married last year

so when you stop a course of studies or you stopped

going to work because of a certain reason you have taken off

you have kind of stop doing it for a short

period of time. Okay, now I hope you're clear with

the second phrasal verb which is very important as well

and which you are going to use every day. This one is -

'Pass out'... 'pass out' okay, well pass out has got

two meanings really, okay the first one is to

'Distribute' or you can call it 'to give away'

you know you go to a mall and you see these people

who work in the marketing department they are

distributing flyers or distributing leaflets you now to promote their

so what are they doing they are passing out their products

or you can say something like "The teacher passed out

the question papers to her students five minutes before the examination

was about to begin", that's distributing or giving away something

way you could use the word 'pass out' is when you are talking about someone who

Or someone who is.. you know... almost going to faint
