Phrasal Verbs for Everyday Conversation + My Tips to Learn & Use Correctly

Learn 10 interesting phrasal verbs for everyday conversation and learn to speak fluently! I'll talk about also share my tips to learn and use them correctly in everyday conversations.

We use these phrasal verbs on a daily basis: you'll hear them on the news; read them in the
paper; and hear people using them as they talk about their family, community, the pandemic, life and hope or the future.

Knowing *how* to use a phrasal verb correctly is the hardest part, so I'll also get a little technical as I teach, to help you to understand exactly what you need to know and learn about phrasal verbs.

TRANSITIVE or INTRANSITIVE?
Phrasal Verbs that are transitive need an object. EG: (to) run out of (we need to always say WHAT we have run out of for this phrasal verb to make sense!) "We ran out of milk."
If it's intransitive, it can be used on its own, without an object. EG: (to) run out: "The milk ran out."
SEPARABLE or INSEPARABLE?
Separable means that the verb and the particle are able to be separated in the sentence.
Both of these sentences are correct:
- He fought off the flu. ✅
- He fought the flu off. ✅
But (to) pass away is inseparable. We can only say "Her uncle passed away last year."

Say G'day if you're watching with me 😁

[soniagabriellamilanpattona]

Dear Emma, I ran out of patience about a lot of people who seem don't care about wearing masks in internal area. My husband and I are trying to get by this terrible long period but we couldn't avoid to dip into my husband's pension since we went without work for more than 1 year. Thank you for helping me to better understand your language! You are the best!

[sanketmotghare]

During those days, I had developed the habit of getting up late due to a stern lockdown. I ran out of money but we dipped into our savings to bear with it. For a while I was coming down with the anxiety due to financial crisis and it was difficult to fight it off. My family was getting by through one of the toughest times then. Soon I realized not to let go this time in vain so I stepped up and started learning online to enhance my skills.

Thank You very much Emma for this awesome lesson.

You Aussie are very warm, gentle and thoughtful. This expression "to rally around" reflects how you are in terms of idiosyncrasy. I know what I'm talking about.
Unfortunately, here in Spain, the pandemic time is demonstrating citizen's behaviour is increasingly individualistic and self-centred, with some exceptions. You're streets ahead of us. Love ❤️ from Santander

Hey everyone, don't you think Emma is setting up a higher level in our English ? I met her in our first lockdown last year in April, it was a really nice discover. Unfortunately, May was the saddest month for me because my father passed away. However, Emma is still rallying around for us, her entire world students. We'll never run out of English class with our lovely teacher Thank you so much Emma !
