naturally today we’re going to talk

about a phrasal verb but first of all

I’m gonna use it in a sentence and I

want to see if you can guess what this

phrasal verb means are you ready for a

little test a little quiz there’s no

great it’s not you’re not going to get a

big red X if it’s wrong but I want to

ask you first to see if you can guess so

my sample sentence my first sample

sentence is I’m trying to come up with a

good idea for a present for my dad for

Christmas I’m trying to come up with a

good idea for a present for my dad for

Christmas what does this phrasal verb

come up with come up with mean can

anyone tell me what do you think it is

hmm Oh

now John has a good idea he says to see

of something like a plan or idea

o-tama says come up means to suggest so

when I say come up with after with we’re

gonna add the thing that you’re trying

to think about come up with have a good

idea yes Julian has a great idea to have

a good idea for a present I’m trying to

come up with a good idea for a present

so I’m gonna write here in my notebook

or in my on my notepad I hope that it

will be useful for you so that you can

see the sentence at the same time we

might say I’m trying to come up with

YouTube video ideas so every day every

day I’m trying to think about to think

of some new ideas so that you can

improve your English and today I came up

with the idea to teach you about come up

with so this means yes we’ve got a lot

of great answers here in the comments to

plan something to find something to

figure out something so the closest

connection is to say to think of

something so I’m always trying to think

of to invent yes Martin to invent or

create some new ideas for YouTube but

because this is the holiday season the

Christmas season here in the US

typically we buy presents for our family

and our close friends so I’m always

trying to think of to think of good

presence for my family I’m trying to

come up with good ideas for my family

and it’s not always easy so my question

for you I want you to be able to use

this expression I want to know who is it

difficult to come up with a present idea

for so we might say for me it’s my dad

it’s difficult to come up with it’s

difficult or it’s hard to come up with a

present idea a present is the same as a

gift present idea for my dad so I want

to know for you in your life who is it

difficult to come up with a present idea

for who is it difficult to come up with

a present idea for maybe for their

birthday or maybe in your country you

give presents on a different holiday

maybe they’re for New Year’s or for

another holiday during the year that’s

important for your country

so I want to know for you who is it

difficult to find a present idea for to

come up with so for me this is for me

this is my dad it’s difficult to come up

with a present idea for my dad or maybe

for you it’s difficult to come up with a

present idea all Dimitri says come up

with a present idea for my wife ah-oh

natural has a different idea he says

sometimes

I have a hard time coming up with ideas

to write for my English essays aha

excellent so for you the ideas for your

essays are difficult that’s challenging

Fernando says it’s difficult to come up

with a present idea for my girlfriend Oh

difficult to come up with a present Oh

saying your name correctly chu-young yes

it’s difficult to come up with how to

make my mom happy on her birthday it’s

difficult to come up with a way to make

my mom happy on her birthday some people

are really difficult like that huh

Oh Eliana says today’s my sister’s

birthday

Oh so I have to come up with a good

present for her beautiful way to use the

sentence I have to come up with a good

present and today’s her birthday so you

don’t have much time maybe after this

you should think of something quick ah

Siri Conda I hope I said that correctly

said it’s difficult to come up with

research ideas with research ideas hmm

sure so it’s difficult to come up with

ideas for your your school or for things

that you have to write about that’s

always a challenging thing what should I

write about for me what should I make

videos about what should I make the next

lesson about how can I make it

interesting

I need to come up with a lot of ideas

and you do in daily life we have to come

up with present ideas with dinner ideas

oh now Joe says I need to come up with

new plans to organize my schedule

plans and Osama says I have to come up

with new methods to learn English yes

especially if your previous method

didn’t help very much it’s time to come

up with new methods to think of new

methods create find new methods yes

great idea

Oh Sam says it’s difficult to come up

with a present for my friend’s birthday

it’s difficult to come up with a present

for my friend’s birthday so if you

haven’t noticed so far this phrasal verb

sticks together we don’t split this

phrasal verb come up with it come up

with a present some phrasal verbs we can

split and in the middle we can put

another word but this phrasal verb is

gonna stick together there’s three parts

of it come up with and they need to stay

together so I hope today with today’s

repetition it’s understandable for you

and useful for you so that you know yes

it’s going to stay together Vanessa said

it all together for the whole lesson so

I’ve never heard it separated so I’m not

gonna separate it that’s the best way to

learn just through natural understanding

because we’ve used it that way so many

times Oh Paul has a great idea he says I

need to come up with new ideas to

improve my business this is a constant

challenge but it’s fun to be creative so

you can do it Paul great Oh Martin says

it’s easy to come up with ideas what’s

hard is to make money to buy a lot of

gift

oh so it’s easy to come up with gift

ideas but it’s hard we can even use this

to say it’s hard to come up with the

money and this means to get the money

this is a second way that we could use

this it’s very similar it’s hard to come

up with ideas or it’s easy to come up

with ideas but it’s hard to come up with

the money this is a similar idea you’re

finding the money you’re trying to

create where can I get the money for the

present but it’s more physical come up

with the money instead of come up with

the idea

Oh Hugo says I need to come up with

ideas to get better grades yes sometimes

those things are difficult Oh

is missus I need to come up with maybe

better ways to improve my accent in

English better ways to improve my accent

Oh Martin has a good question Martin

said I heard you say if you noticed so

far what is so far mean so far means

until this point so from the beginning

of our lesson at 9 o’clock until now 917

in the last 17 minutes

I didn’t split come up with I kept it

together so until this moment I haven’t

split it at all or we could say so far I

haven’t split this expression let me

write this down so that we can take a

little look at it I think this is a

great expression to add to this uh so

far

I didn’t split it

until this point so we could say two

things here I hope Martin this will help

to answer your question so far

I didn’t split the phrasal verb until

this point for the last 17 minutes

I didn’t split the phrasal verb so I

hope that will be useful for you Ranade

says I need to come up with an idea I

need to come up with a plan to win a

football game oh are you the the coach

or are you the leader of the the

football team I hope for you you can

come up with a great idea so you can see

so far we’ve used this in such a variety

of ways we’ve used this for a ton of

ideas because in life we have to come up

with so many ideas on a daily basis come

up with ideas for winning your football

game come up with ideas for a present

for your girlfriend or come up with ways

to improve your English we are always

thinking this is our strengths as humans

we can constantly create and invent and

improve we are constantly coming up with

new ideas usually it’s a good thing not

always but typically it’s a good thing

and you can use this expression in all

of those situations so let’s pretend

that you have a business meeting maybe

you need to use English at your job

you could say in front of your

co-workers in front of your boss today

we are going to talk about our marketing

strategy and during this business

meeting we need to come up with three

new ideas for how we can market our

company better great this is

professional this is clear and we use

this in daily conversation so

phrasal verbs aren’t necessarily too

casual for business we use them all the

time so I hope you can use this in daily

life you could use this with your

friends if you speak English with them

and say hey I need to come up with an

idea for my wife’s birthday what should

I do

I don’t know it’s it’s tomorrow or it’s

today it may be a little too late but

you can come up with an idea with

someone else so I hope that this phrasal

verb isn’t too overwhelming for you

anymore sometimes when we see three-part

phrasal verbs come up with it can feel

like it’s too much oh there’s too many

words to remember together but I hope

for you you will not forget this you

will be able to use this and before we

go today let’s say one full sentence

together I want you as long as you feel

comfortable if you’re somewhere quiet I

want you to say it out loud with me so

that you can hear your voice using

English and using this expression as
