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

essays are difficult that’s challenging
Fernando says it’s difficult to come up

difficult to come up with a present Oh

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

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
