Common Phrasal Verbs in English to Express Movement

okay i think it’s rolling hi everybody

and welcome back to our weekly

live stream my name is alicia and in

this week’s lesson

we are going to talk about phrasal verbs

used

to describe movement i’ve chosen about

20 about 20 phrasal verbs that we use

to talk about the movements of our

bodies

and to talk about the movements of

vehicles like cars

buses and so on so we’re going to talk

about

uh prepositions that you use commonly

with

verbs together and we’re going to talk

about

whether you can split them whether

they’re separable or inseparable

and talk about some example sentences

too so

i hope everyone can find something in

this lesson

and maybe ask some questions too because

in this lesson i have included

some phrasal verbs that have different

meanings so different meanings

meaning they’re used for things other

than movement as well so send me your

questions if you have them

today’s lesson boards here are today’s

lesson boards you can take a picture

if you like this is what we’re going to

cover today we have a lot

we are going to talk about uh over and

off so

maybe you can see i separated today’s

topics

by preposition so over and off

up and down in and out so i made some

groups

of phrasal verbs we’re going to talk

about them

by group and again as i said of course

there are other phrasal verbs

that use these prepositions uh but i’ve

chosen some

focusing on movement and focusing on

maybe uh some phrasal verbs you might

not know so

as we begin don’t forget to hit the like

button and share this video yeah it

helps other people

find today’s lesson so oh i’m going to

share the video

there it goes bye okay i’ve shared it

it’s all right

i’m ready to start i have shared the

video let’s begin

with this lesson uh i want to start

actually i want to start with in and out

i think i had the border swapped but i

want to start

uh with these two today these two groups

let’s begin let’s be good

first group i want to talk about is

phrasal verbs that use in that use

in so for today’s lesson i separated

i separated them into groups like this

so we’ll look at

a few examples of phrasal verbs in this

group

and an example sentence too so you can

send your own example sentence

in the chat if you’re watching live i

will try to

check but there are many comments so

please uh please keep that in mind okay

let’s go oh okay facebook are you okay

over there good okay

let’s get started so first one in the

first phrasal verb is get

in get in we use get in

to enter to mean to enter a

vehicle so vehicle means something that

you use to move from place to

place a car a bus a truck

get in it’s like saying get inside or

please enter

the car enter the bus we don’t really

say

enter the bus in conversation it sounds

a little strange

so we would say for example hurry

get in the car get in the car

please note when we want to talk about a

train

we typically say get on the train

get on the train same thing for an

airplane

get on the plane i need to get on the

plane

we typically use in for smaller

uh vehicles like cars buses

trucks get in means to enter something

okay next go in go in

go in also means to enter to enter

but we use go in for a building

a building so like a supermarket i’m

going to go in

to the supermarket okay or i

went in in past tense go becomes went

i went in to the bank i went into the

bank

so to go in means

to enter we often use this as a command

like hurry up go in if you’re sitting

outside for a long time

go in okay okay uh

other other others i’m looking for your

questions

as well okay uh

baga hey frank said get inside the

office note

get in is used for vehicles

cars things like that for a place use go

in so go in the office or go inside the

office is also

okay all right other points okay

everything looks good so far next is

come

in come in so

the difference between come in and go in

is your position or the speaker’s

position so come in

refers to someone outside the

building you are inside entering

so if i’m in the building here

and black marker is outside the building

and black marker comes in the building

i i just said it now come in to come in

from my perspective

that person comes toward me comes to me

i don’t say uh black marker went in the

building

like their movement their movement is

toward me in my direction i use

come in to describe that so it sounds

much more natural to say

black marker came in the building so it

doesn’t sound as natural to say black

marker went in the building

that sounds like the other direction

from me

another one you will hear this in

invitations a lot if you go

to someone’s house they might say

come in come in it’s cold outside or

maybe come in come in have some tea

or come in have a drink have something

to eat so we use this as a friendly

command to come in come in

okay good all right

uh charles pell asked on youtube go into

school yeah you can use go into school

like i need to go into school today

it’s saturday but i have something to do

okay

um all right some people are still using

get or past tense got i see mr goofy on

youtube

get in again get in is used for vehicles

so don’t say i got into a store use i

went into a store

go in is for building get in for

vehicles so maybe this is a good point

for many people today

okay let’s go to the next one

back in back in this is a car or a

vehicle

uh related phrasal verb to back in

like if you are driving a car or a truck

or van or something to back in

means to move into a parking space

with the rear of the car first

the rear of the car first so if we

imagine this pencil or this marker

as a car this part is the front

this part this is the back usually we

drive the car

this way right but when we want to talk

about

backing in or to back in the rear

of the car goes first we back in

for example to a parking spot

so we’re ready to go when we’re when we

want to leave so to back in means to

move

into usually usually into a parking spot

with the rear part first for example

hey can you back into this spot can you

back into this spot

okay

all right uh why all the time for figure

only i’m not sure what that question

means mcd can you maybe give me an

example oh it’s gone okay all right okay

okay so this is the first group

using in uh with verbs to talk about

movement all right i don’t see other

questions

so let’s go to out out i have just a few

examples without

i thought it would be good to talk about

so first get out get out

we talked about this one get in right to

enter

a vehicle to enter a car get

out however we can use

to mean to leave a vehicle like get out

of the car

or get out of the van that’s good too

this has the feeling

of leaving a place quickly as well

so we can use this as the opposite of

get

in yes i need to like please get out of

the car

that kind of thing but this can also

have the feeling

of leaving a place quickly

for example this party is boring

let’s get out of here this party is

boring let’s get out of here

so oftentimes often in speech

get out of sounds like get outta

get outta you’ve probably heard this if

you’ve watched

uh american english tv shows let’s get

out of here or get out of here that’s

what it sounds like

so this means let’s leave quickly this

is boring

or this is dangerous maybe you might

hear this in action films too

okay good uh bye nick is it okay to say

get out of my life yeah that is 100

correct very aggressive if you have a

big fight with someone and you don’t

want to see them again

you could say get out of my life i don’t

know if i’ve ever said that

that sounds very aggressive okay all

right let’s go to

the next one the next one here is come

out to come out

to come out means to reveal something

so if you’ve been hiding for a long time

and you reveal yourself

you can use come out to talk about that

you use this a lot when you are playing

games

as a kid maybe you know the game hide

and seek

where you and your friends or your like

your brother or your sister

you hide and the other person has to

find you

so you can use this to describe that for

example

my brother kid hid that’s the past tense

of hide

my brother hid in a cabinet for an hour

he came out to eat dinner he came

out to eat dinner so he revealed himself

from his hiding position to eat dinner

so come out to come out means to

reveal something okay good

looking for your questions

uh julio cesar says get in versus get

into yeah good question

about this like can i say like get into

the car

you can but in cases where there’s not

a like not a difference between the

meaning

so like for example get in the car

versus get into the car

i feel we tend to use the shorter

version just to be a little bit more

efficient it’s just shorter so it’s

easier to say it’s one less

sound to make so

that’s a case where you can you can use

either

there may be some situations where it’s

more natural to use

one or the other yeah

um okay others what is the meaning of

hit i said really quickly it means

hide in past tense to hide becomes

to hid sorry to hide becomes

hid hide becomes hit okay good let’s go

to the next one to go out to go

out to go out means to leave your home

to leave your home for example i’m going

out

with some friends tonight so that means

i’m leaving the house

i’m i am going to go to

some place with my friends so this is a

very

uh open expression where am i going

i don’t know or maybe i don’t want to

say

i’m going out for example i was watching

a tv show this week

and one character it was a husband and

wife one

the wife she was planning to leave the

house

and the husband said where are you going

and she said

out so she wanted to be secretive

about it where are you going oh so

go out just means to leave your home to

leave your home

you can say you can use it to talk about

work or

school like before you go out to school

or before you go out to work

you can include the place but you don’t

have to

you don’t have to okay

other points i’m going out for dinner

they’re going out for dinner lots of

people are going out for dinner and the

comments good

okay very nice very nice i’m going out

for a few drinks very nice

uh a laratam run in and walk in

both mean to enter a building um

yes you could say for example run into

the supermarket and get some milk or

walk into the supermarket and get some

milk we use

run in when we want to emphasize

doing something quickly so in that case

if i said ah sorry i need to run into

the supermarket and get some milk

it’s like saying please wait just one

minute i’m going really fast

so it means like please be patient okay

all right good that’s part one for today

whoa that took

20 minutes oh my gosh i have to hurry

for the next parts

whoa that was so much okay let’s take a

really really really quick break and

then we’ll go

very efficiently through the rest of

today’s topics

okay um what was it gonna say

please like please like and share this

video so other people can find

today’s lesson please please please make

sure to do that

it helps other people to join okay let’s

to up and down up and down okay

let’s go quickly so uh the next group

i want to talk about up and down next

so let’s go quickly i will try to

speak uh smoothly but not fast

but let’s go efficiently through these

so first one is get

up get up to move your body from

bed for example it’s 2 pm

you need to get up it’s 2 pm you need to

get up

you might think what’s the difference

between get up and

wake up to wake up means to open your

eyes

so in bed you open your eyes you don’t

have to

get up immediately you don’t have to get

up and wake up

at the same time i think most people

most people

usually wake up and after that they get

up right like

usually i don’t know about you usually

we don’t wake up and get up at exactly

the same time that sounds interesting

so get up means to move your body from

bed to move your body from bed it’s 2pm

you need to get up

please get up please get out of bed is

another way to say that

next is sit up sit up to sit

up means to move from a relaxed

sitting position to a position

with the back straight what does that

mean

so maybe you’ve heard your parents say

this

you’re sitting at your computer kind of

like this slouched

right this position is called a slouch

your parents might say hey alicia sit up

your posture is bad that means to sit

with

good posture your back is straight so

we use sit up to refer to that sit

up for example you slouch a lot

you should sit up you slouch a lot

you should sit up so to sit up means

uh to move to a sitting position

with a straight back do you have lists

of phrasal verbs here is one

um i think let’s see i’ve made some

videos in the past

on the youtube channel about other

groups of phrasal verbs so i recommend

to check for those i’m not sure how many

are

available yet you can do a youtube

search for

phrasal verb on the youtube channel to

find my videos about that i hope that

helps you

how do you spell slouch it’s right here

l o u c h slouch

slouch javier says i’ve also heard

sit back yes you can use sit back if

someone is

really excited like looking like right

at the camera

in my case you might you might say

please sit back

like we can’t see you or please sit back

and calm down

so that’s what sit back means to move

in a backwards motion okay

onward let’s go to the next one um pick

pick up this one has two meanings i want

to talk about

pick up means to clean like to pick up

your room

to pick up things in your room and put

them

away so to clean is one use

and we use it to mean to collect

someone or to collect something

so two example sentences please

pick up your room it’s a mess please

pick up your room

means please clean up your room as well

if it’s helpful you can imagine your

room is messy

you should pick up the things on the

floor

and put them in the correct place so

this is maybe helpful

okay and this one to collect someone or

to collect

something means for example or for

example

he has to pick up his boss at the

airport

he has to pick up his boss at the

airport that means he has to go to the

airport

and collect or pick up his boss

okay so pick up babna pick up means

choose no

pic means choose to pick this is

actually a very common uh

error i hear some uh learners say

please pick the phone nope completely

wrong nope

cannot say pick the phone please pick up

the phone

pick up the phone pic means choose

yes so please pick me or pick one of

these

please pick up and pick are different

uh mr goofy says after i got up i picked

up around my desk

and sat down in my chair then sat

up my back this morning sat

up we don’t say sat up my back so when

you want to describe

like what i talked about sit up we don’t

have a direct

object with this verb we don’t say sit

up my back or

sit up my body part there’s no direct

object here

so i sat down in my chair and i

sat up straight right

so i used sit down and sit up

together there so that means i sat down

in my chair

and i sat up straight that’s how you

could describe

uh those two actions together

okay egg box incubators how do we begin

using these phrases i chose these

phrases because they are easy to use in

your everyday life so

think about them or talk to yourself in

everyday life you can use

all of these probably maybe today

so practice them to talk about your

movements and your actions

uh okay onward we have to go

next one i have a group here called up

there’s one mini group up two this is a

question i got from a viewer uh on the

ask alicia series

uh somewhat recently up to we can use

up to with any of these like um

movement motion verbs like walk run

drive or jog we use up to

with these to mean to do that

action until you reach a point for

example

he walked up to the front of the room

you can say

he walked to the front of the room

that’s also fine

walked up to gives the feeling of some

like finish point

that walk doesn’t have another example

we drove up to the forest we drove up to

the forest

like we did this action until we reached

this point the forest that’s the very

small

difference in feeling but this is

extremely common we use this a lot it’s

very very common

okay onward let’s go to down now

down so down notice i have marked these

with stars

that means that you can split or

separate these

i’ll explain what this means in just a

second

first one with down is take down to take

down something

there are a couple meanings for today

this means to remove to remove

for example you should take down your

holiday decorations

it’s may you should take down your

holiday decoration

you should remove your holiday

decoration

or you should take down that sign it’s

really old

so to take down means to remove

something we often use it for

decorations or

announcements that kind of thing to take

down

so what does this split mean it means we

can put

our object between the verb

and the preposition that means you can

say

you should take your holiday decorations

down

that is also okay so some phrasal verbs

it’s okay to split

in this way some we cannot

all right phew let’s go to the next one

write down to write down to write down

means to write on paper

to write on paper usually like a quick

note or a quick idea

for example i have a great idea okay

write this down write this down so you

can

it’s more natural to say write this down

then

write please write this like you can say

it i guess but

we usually use write this down write

this down

okie uh leo what does it mean take him

down so to take someone down

means like to defeat someone so like in

sports or in like a

physical competition it means to defeat

someone take him down means

to to beat someone to to win uh

often in a visit like a physical fight

to take someone down

it can also mean like in like a like a

business setting to defeat

someone like defeat a competitor to take

someone down

it sounds very aggressive but i hope

that that helps

all right let’s go to the next one put

down put down again this one has some

other meanings but for today

it means to place something you are

holding

on a surface so imagine you have a drink

you’re having your drink and your family

member says

put down your drink and help me move the

sofa

put down your drink and help me move the

sofa i might be like oh

okay i put it down on the table

so put down that’s the idea something

i’m holding

i hold i’m holding something here i put

down somewhere beneath where it was

before put down okay again we can split

this one

put your drink down and help me move the

sofa is also

okay all right phew

let’s be done with part two we are

already late

and i have two more points to talk about

ah let’s go quickly

okay we have some extra time today

facebook are you okay

okay i still see you okay good lost for

a second

let’s go to part three super super

quickly
