Thanks so much, Jenna. I bet some English teachers out there *look up to* you because of your outstanding work. I think with this excellent series, we’ll eventually *pick up on* phrasal verbs. 🙂

One simple question about the second particle in “make up for”. You make up FOR something, but you make it up TO someone, right? Can I *get away with* using “make it up for someone” when talking about people, or is it completely wrong?

[zakariiraillen]

Thank you for this helpful video, honestly this is the first time I understand why we have to use the ing form of the verb after "look forward to", for many years I watched many videos and red a lot about this expression and they all say you have to use the gerund after "to", the problem is - as well as for many English learners I guess - I always thought that "to" is the particle that precedes the infinitive form of a verb for example "to eat" but in this expression "look forward to" "to" is a preposition which must be followed by a noun as you explained, it is clear now ! I have a question though, in the example "to eat" how is the particle "to" called, is it called preposition too or something else. Thank you.
