hi everybody and welcome back to top

words my name is Alisha and today we’re

gonna talk about ten phrasal verbs for

talking about vehicles let’s go

the first phrasal verb first phrasal

verb is pull in pull in so pull in is

used usually when you’re driving very

slowly we usually use it for a parking

lot so we’ll use it in an expression

like pull into that space or pull in

over there

in this sentence pull into that space

over there it means usually to slowly

move your car into a space into a

parking space or maybe into a garage

you’re going into something usually very

slowly so pull in over here pull in over

there pull into that parking lot pull

into that driveway for example so slowly

move into another place we use the

phrasal verb pull in for that the next

phrasal verb is pull up pull up in the

sentence I’ll pull the car up in front

of the hotel we usually use this when we

want to slowly drive and then stop at a

location so for example at a stoplight

we would say pull up to the stoplight so

it means to slowly drive to a place and

then stop so pull up next to the mailbox

or pull up next to my house pull up over

there means slowly drive and then stop

at that place is pull up that’s how we

use pull up the next expression is back

up back up so back means reverse to

backup a car is to move a car slowly in

reverse so usually in most cases we

drive cars going forward but you

sometimes need to move your car in the

opposite direction back up out of the

driveway for example it means to go

slowly in reverse to back up in this

sentence the truck backed up until it

touched the loading dock

the next expression we talked about pull

in now

we have back in back in so pull in means

to drive forward into something back in

means to slowly go backward into

something usually a parking space or a

garage or something

so back in is going river in reverse

pull in is going forward as usual so in

a sentence back into the parking space

the next expression is roll down roll

down this might be a little bit of an

outdated expression at this point in

time but prior to the use of automatic

windows usually now I think most cars

have a button and the window will

automatically roll down but we used to

have a manual a hand crank in in cars to

roll down windows so this motion which

was used to move the window that was the

that was also the verb we used we use

roll so this motion is like roll and

then the window comes down so we

combined the two to say roll down the

window in a sentence roll down your

window it’s hot in here

the next expression is head up and head

down these are very common expressions

when you are trying to navigate in a

city you don’t have to use these only in

cars you can use them when you’re

walking or traveling on foot as well on

bicycle whatever you can use head up and

head down anytime you are trying to go

somewhere so head up and head down

really just mean go so I could say like

head up the street until you see a

Starbucks and then turn right generally

though the difference between up and

down here it has kind of like a north

and south at least in English it has a

north-south sort of feel so if for

example I’m talking about the west coast

of the USA Seattle is in the north and

Los Angeles is in the south I would say

I’m heading down I’m going to head down

to Los Angeles from Seattle or I’m going

to head up to Seattle from Los Angeles

it sounds really strange if I say head

up to Los Angeles because Los Angeles is

south of Seattle so when you’re thinking

when you’re speaking geographically when

you’re speaking in terms of north and

south for places

it’s better to use head up or head down

depending on the location you’re talking

about coming from let’s see in the

sentence head down this street for a

while the next expression is run over

run over this is a this is a word that

we use when in a car let’s say you’re

driving your car and then an animal

comes out in front of the car but you

continue going we say you are going to

run over so to run in this case is not a

human running but a car running so the

car is running is going is continuing

over something else so we can say like

don’t run over any animals or be careful

not to run over your brother into the

example sentence I think he ran over a

squirrel true story my little brother

once ran over me in a golf cart that is

true

my brother and I were playing one time

and my grandparents had a golf cart

and my brother and I were outside

running around we were playing like a

James Bond like kind of spy game like we

were like okay I’m gonna drive the golf

cart and you have to run alongside and

jump in I was like okay but I tried to

jump I don’t know I got nervous but it

wasn’t really going that fast but like

somehow things went wrong and I fell

down or maybe I tripped or something

like that what I was running I fell down

and he just he ran over me in the golf

car like ran over my leg just drove

right over my leg and I was like we got

in big trouble I was fine yeah no I died

the next word is pull over so pull over

means usually you are driving in the car

and you want to make a stop so usually

we use this like on the side of the road

or in a place where you wouldn’t usually

stop or in kind of a strange not

necessarily strange but maybe not a

typical place to stop a car so for

example if there’s like a bee in the car

and you’re like I need to get this B out

of my car you can pull over to the side

of the road we usually use it like pull

over to the side of the road and you

know do what you need to do or maybe you

need to pull over at a rest stop pull

over at a back

essentially okay so in a sentence pull

over at the next rest stop yeah so

pullover is also used by the police as

well as like a command it’s a it’s a

temporary situation so the police are

going to stop you

they say pull over to the side of the

road and then you have to move your car

to the side of the road where it’s safe

and they talk to you and then you can

continue down the road after you’ve

finished speaking to them police will

use it as a command the next phrasal

verb is pull out pull out so for example

when you are coming out of a parking

space for example you can say like pull

out of this parking space and turn left

it means like to exit something slowly

so to pull out of a parking space or to

pull out into traffic so turning from

one one lane to another may be busier

Lane the image is going kind of slowly

and then picking up the pace somewhere

else so to pull out in to is another

common expression pull out into traffic

or pull out of a space and turn left or

pull out of the driveway for example in

this example sentence a super slow truck

pulled out in front of us on the

mountain road the next expression is get

on get on we use get on usually for

large roads so a highway or a major

street usually the traffic is moving

very quickly we say get on the highway

get on the five so like in the u.s. lots

of highways major roads are labeled with

numbers so like California and when a

big state highway is the number five

Highway the five so you could say like

get on the five at the next exit or get

on the five at this street for example

so to get on means like to to join with

your car that major road and a sentence

get on the highway here okay so that’s

the end those are ten phrasal verbs for
