Well I totally agree with you about the context but especially in part 4 if you don't know the phrasal verb that is required you lose valuable points so it is also being able to memorize as many as you can. Also I wanted to ask if you know the origin of 'cotton on', I am really interested!

I just love learning all the interesting curiosities of languages. I'm currently studying a career as a translator or interpreter and it's fascinating to dive into the beauty of the language and get to know different cultures ❤️

Wooww . I finally started to comprehend it, thank you so much,
The information is very valuable

[orlandovivanco]

Wow. I was expecting for this explanations about how to learn or in this case to guess the meaning of phrasal verb. Thanks a

[gerardodominguez]

Thank you so much, Ben!
It suddenly dawns on me why is so important to learn phrasal verbs in context. Context is the clue indisputably.

[guntherjakobs]

You are a hero!
Hats off to you, Sir!
Greetings from Brazil!

[Crisguay]

Just off the top of my head, the first meaning that "came up" to my mind was "pop up" for CROP UP (you gave us great examples, Ben!!
For DAWN ON', seeing the context, it's meaning is clear: "realise"
Easy peasy to see it like that!! 🍰

Hi Ben, I discovered you because you cropped up on my YouTube account and I'm absolutely glad about this coincidence. Ben, it dawned on me while watching this video that phrasal verbs are not as tedious as I thought. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

[marinakrasova]

Wow! 😙 ❤️ I'm in love with your lessons of English, Ben. Thank you, they are so helpful and informative, great👍👍👍 I do appreciate your time and knowledge that you offer, I've never ever met a teacher of English with so many useful information and grammar which you give, wow!!!

[DVD-Y]

Again, cool content, clearly explained! Now, thanks to you Ben, it dawned on me how to master elaborate english phrasal verbs. Next, with your help again, I could tackle so fascinating english idioms...

[jorge-juancarbonell]

These "chunks of knowledge" are the best completed keeping them simple, honest, carefully pathed, and friendly way of teaching that I remember in a long time. Thanks a lot!

[afshanbakhtiar]

Amazing, why did you say those phrasal verbs but not these phrasal verbs?

[kitiamuriel]

Hi Ben. How about calling them "cool verbs", "friendly verbs", "funny verbs", "lovable verbs", "gorgeous verbs" (etc)? The objective disadvantage of the lack of exposure to the new language is usually topped with Lovecraftian or Stephenkingians grammar books titles such as "Escape from the Phrasal Verbs Horror Camp". The student gets terrified at the mere mention of those creepy English creatures, so are many teachers: in such mental and emotional environment the learning process is supposed to happen. Phrasal verbs for students of English and Anatomy for medical students! Typing from a Mediterranean country, I can tell you that (your excellent example) "to understand" may be easy and immediate to understand because there are no alternatives: you either understand it or...you get it. I wouldn't feel the same about "overtaking" and "taking over" though. Thank you and cheerio

[loveOldMen]

I thought that "crop up" Will be "interrupt" ..."dawn on" ="arrive"

[patricioiglesias]

Another example cropping up! But after watching this video it dawn on me that context is of paramount importance to learn phrasal verbs.

[rosalindamattera]

So I'm not gonna use them? XD ok, that's a lot of time saved! Wuuuu!!!

[nggeorgia]

But can you offer something to us who don’t like in Britain

[Anna-mcll]

Actually, when you gave the example with the phrasal verb “to crop up”, it made me think of another phrasal verb with a similar meaning: “to pop up”.

Thank you for sharing these thoughts.
