lot of you are interested in vocabulary

regarding relationships and you’re also

quite interested in phrasal verbs but I

just had this amazing idea

I thought put the two together

relationship rival web because there are

a lot and so I’m going to talk about

twelve today some are more basic some

are more common should I say and some

are more advanced than if you use these

in exams like IELTS and the first and

the Advanced Cambridge exams then you

should get a good response because

they’re quite niche quickly before we

get started I’d just like to thank the

sponsor of today’s video I talking I’m

sure you’ve heard me talk about it

information is in the description box

down below right let’s get on with the

lesson the first phrasal verb is to ask

out it’s separable so to ask somebody

out and this is to invite someone on a

date for example he asked me out at a

party and we’ve been inseparable ever

since

so the next one is to take somebody out

this is to take somebody on a date so

these first two are quite similar on our

first date he took me out to a

restaurant normally the person who is

taking the other person out is offering

to pay for the date normally I prefer to

split the bill and then

there are no expectations and I like to

do this because I don’t like to lead

anyone on so to lead somebody on is to

give them the wrong idea to make them

think that they’ve got a chance with you

that the relationship might go somewhere

but in reality it never will so so if I

kept agreeing to these dates and letting

this person pay for me when I have no

intention of furthering the relationship

I would be leading that person on then

we have one which is a bit more casual

this is to hook up to hook up normally

means to have more of a casual

relationship with somebody so if you say

I hooked up with her last night

it probably doesn’t mean that it’s a

serious relationship it’s more of a

casual fling okay whatever floats your

boat then we have another one which is

to drift apart and this was quite bad to

drift apart means to lose closeness you

know once you were really in love really

close and then you drift apart it’s

quite self-explanatory

you don’t you don’t see eye to eye

anymore so you could use it in a

situation where someone asks you why did

you break up with your ex we just

drifted apart

we went our separate ways next we have

to break up to break up this is when a

relationship ends sonido done you can

also say to split up as well we split up

last year he broke up with me because I

was too grumpy however if you then

reconcile you make up so you break up

and then you make up the make up is to

get back together that we made up and

it’s been great ever since the next one

is a really nice one to put up with and

to put up with somebody or somebody’s

behavior it means to tolerate so why did

you sit up I couldn’t put up with his

snoring I could not tolerate his snoring

the next one to keep on some

sly the next one is to cheat on somebody

and if you cheat on somebody you are

unfaithful for them or if you are

cheated on he cheated on me then it

means that somebody has been unfaithful

to you they’ve gone off with somebody

else

behind your back never a nice thing to

happen you could say that they really

messed you around to mess somebody

around is to really treat them in a bad

way maybe one day you say you want to be

with them and then the next day you

change your mind and they’re waiting on

your every move you get their hopes up

you disappoint them again it’s best not

to mess anyone around now the next one

is something most of us hope to do one

day and that is to settle down and to

settle down means to finally find a

stable relationship and stay there and

have a more quiet and relaxed life so

your partying days are over

you’ve had enough of dating and meeting

loads of new people you find one person

that you really like and hopefully

really love and you settle down with

them maybe start a family or move in

together get married whatever settling

down is normally quite a nice thing to

do right that’s it for today’s lesson
