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

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
