Welcome back to love English. So, today I'm going to be going through some
-
travel phrasal verbs, essential travel phrasal verbs. Covering some of the more
-
basic and some of the more advanced. Now as you can see I am in fact on holiday
-
in... if you haven't guessed it already, Rome! So this seems to be the most
-
appropriate place to go through those travel phrasal verbs with you.
-
So, starting with some of the more basic now. I'm sure many of you already know the phrasal verb to
-
take off. When we are referring to an aeroplane leaving .So, the plane took off.
-
What time does the plane take off? That's a nice simple one.
-
Now it's less common.
-
We usually say land but you can say touch down. This is perhaps more
-
frequently used in America. I would say that the Brits don't really use this
-
phrasal verb too much. But when you say the plane has a touched down, you would say
-
it's landed. But again not so common. Right one of the most common phrasal
-
verbs to get away. This is both a phrasal verb and it can be used as a noun, I need
-
a get away. So, to get away literally means to escape your normal life, working days
-
and have a holiday. You might even say I really need to get away. Meaning I really
-
need a holiday.
-
Now, a more advanced phrasal verb would be to set off. You
-
could also say set out. So, if you set off you literally start your journey, you
-
begin at your travels. So, you might say to somebody what time are you setting
-
off? What time are you leaving for your trip? Now another phrasal verb with off
-
is to see off and this I'm sure has happened to you if you've been travelling.
-
Usually your parents will see you off this literally means that they take you
-
to the airport, the train station, the bus station and they wave goodbye and see
-
you on your way. So, to see somebody off. Usually a very nice thing to do.
-
On the opposite side, you would have pick up. So, pick up means to collect to take
-
somebody from one place to another and in this case you might have your parents
-
picking you up from the airport. Meeting at you there to collect you and
-
take you home. So, to pick up. Now in a similar way we can also have drop off. So,
-
you can drop off at your bags at the check-in, at the airport, but you can also
-
drop somebody off at the airport. So, pick up and drop off. Now drop off just
-
implies that you're left there when you see somebody off you're waving goodbye
-
and making sure that they are okay and they've got their plane okay. So, to drop
-
somebody off, to pick somebody up and to see someone off.
-
Now check, check in and check out, very important two phrasal verbs for you
-
pretty basic but you need to know them. To check in both at a hotel and of
-
course an airport. Is to register, to give your details to confirm that you
-
are taking that flight or indeed that you are registering to stay in the hotel
-
for that night. So, to check in. To check out, not something you do at an airport
-
but it is of course at a hotel. When you check out of a hotel you would pay any
-
extras that you've had from the minibar and confirm that you have left.
-
Usually checkout times quite early as well about 11:00, so when you see that,
-
what the checkout time is, you know that that's the time you need to leave the
-
hotel. So, check in check out.
-
When we talk generally about arriving..what time
-
did you get there? We would say turn up. So, what time did he turn up. Now when it
-
comes to traveling we usually refer to the transportation that we are taking
-
and in this case we'd be using get in. What time does your train get in? Meaning...
-
What time does your train arrive? You wouldn't say.. ''what time does your train
-
turn up. You can also use it for flights, What time does your flight get in?
-
What time does your flight arrive?
-
Now, unfortunately travel doesn't always
-
go to plan and there are often many delays. In this case we also have a
-
phrasal verb you can be held up. So, my train was held up at another station. My
-
flight was delayed. I was held up because my flight was delayed. So, to hold up to
-
be held up (in the passive form) means that you have been delayed.
-
Now, referring to transportation, when we travel we often use public transportation and this
-
is an important point to note. The prepositions in and on, off and out are
-
used when we are referring to public and private transportation. So, when you are
-
getting public transportation, you get on a plane, you get on the train, you get on
-
a bus, you get on a coach. These are public transportation. However, when you
-
are using private, you get in a car, you get in a taxi. A taxi is a form of
-
private transportation but you would get out of a taxi and you would get off a
-
plane. So, in get in private transportation. Get off public transportation.
-
Right, now we don't always have the luxury of going directly to our
-
destination, nor do we always want it. Sometimes we do actually want to have a
-
detour. Stop over. So, to stop over to have a stop over noun or phrasal verb is
-
to basically have a detour to stop (pause/break) somewhere. So, you might stop over if you
-
have a particularly long flight. So, for example if you're traveling from England
-
to Australia, you often have a stopover in somewhere like Asia, Singapore, Hong Kong.
-
Similarly, we can also call this a lay over. So, when the flights is stopped
-
at one Airport while you wait to refuel or indeed get another flight. So, you have
-
stop over and lay over. Right, that's it. I hope those phrasal verbs will prove
-
useful. Try writing some sentences in the comment box below remember practice
-
