12 Important Phrasal Verbs for Everyday English Conversation

I'm sharing some important phrasal verbs used in daily English conversation.

TRANSITIVE or INTRANSITIVE?
Phrasal Verbs that are transitive need an object. EG: (to) look up to (we need to always say WHO we look up to for this phrasal verb to make sense.)
If it's intransitive, it can be used on its own, without an object. EG: (to) grow up

SEPARABLE or INSEPARABLE?
Separable means that the verb and the particle are able to be separated in the sentence. EG: (to) bring up is separable.
I'm going to bring up this issue on Monday.
I'm going to bring this issue up on Monday.
We can separate the words in the phrasal verb so it's separable.

(to) jump in or (to) butt in on a conversation are examples are inseparable phrasal verbs. We can say "Can I jump in?" But we can't say "Can I jump me in".

Thank you Emma. Today I learnt some new phasal verbs. 🧡 One came to my mind in regards to speak. That's Talk Into = Convince/Persuade. My friend talked me into going to the party tonight. I talked my brother into selling his car. Love your lessons. Thanks a lot! 😘😘 Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷

[AlfredoPerez-tidl]

Hi Emma! My name´s Alfredo and I am a teacher of English in Cuba. I must say I like very much your classes and I really enjoy them very much, but I must also say that lately, I´m seeing subtitles in your videos; sometimes in English, but other times in Spanish too, and I ask to myself, why? Your English is very understandable and I think most of your followers do not need those subtitles. Thank you
and keep going. Alfredo from Cuba.
