1
Hey everyone, I'm Alex.
2
Thanks for clicking and welcome to this lesson on dating and relationship phrasal verbs.
3
So in this video, I'm going to give you 10 phrasal verbs
4
that you can use when you are discussing dating and relationships.
5
Now, because this is a phrasal verbs video, I want to encourage you to pick up a copy of my book,
6
100 Practical English Phrasal Verbs, which has 20 context -based lessons,
7
over 900 examples, and only high -frequency phrasal verbs.
8
So if you enjoy this lesson and you think, huh, I want to learn more phrases like that, pick up the book.
9
It's available in PDF format, ebook format, and this beautiful physical format.
10
And again, let me let me have you hear that book.
11
Love that sound.
12
So the physical version, you have to buy it on Amazon.
13
Check it out.
14
Now, let's continue with this video.
15
So most relationships or many relationships or maybe just encounters with people begin with someone hitting on someone.
16
What does it mean to hit on someone?
17
Now, again, the verb hit, it's very physical.
18
Like this is hit.
19
We don't mean this.
20
This is terrible.
21
This is the opposite of what we're doing.
22
So when you hit on someone, you show romantic interest in them,
23
you try to get their attention by complimenting them or by saying something to them,
24
introducing yourself and showing that you're interested and you want to talk to them more and learn more about them.
25
So repeat after me.
26
Yes, you will practice speaking in this video as well.
27
Repeat after me.
28
A guy hit on me at the club.
29
Okay, so if you are a young person, this is probably something you might say.
30
If you are an older person or a married person, maybe you don't go to the club anymore.
31
The dance club.
32
I know some parts of the world call them discos.
33
I just think of John Travolta when I hear disco doing this stuff.
34
So, not that type of disco.
35
So, yeah, a guy hit on me at the club.
36
This means a guy tried to get my attention.
37
He asked for my phone number.
38
Or maybe he said something like, You know, if I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put you and I together.
39
Terrible.
40
Terrible.
41
Don't say that.
42
Maybe do.
43
Some people might enjoy it because they like bad jokes.
44
I don't know.
45
So yeah, hit on someone.
46
To show romantic interest, you want someone's attention.
47
Next, to ask someone out.
48
If you ask someone out, you ask them to go on a date with you.
49
So repeat after me.
50
You should ask her out.
51
Yeah, so you are encouraging your friend
52
or someone in your family to ask someone out
53
because maybe they see
54
that huh I think there's a connection there I think
55
you guys have a good connection you should ask her out
56
and see what she says maybe
57
she will say yes let's go see a movie let's go
58
for a walk let's go to a coffee shop yeah classic first date stuff, right?
59
Next, we have hit it off.
60
If you hit it off with someone, you have a strong connection,
61
a good connection, almost immediately the first time you meet them.
62
Now, hitting it off with someone doesn't have to be romantic.
63
It can be, maybe you can hit it off with someone and then you become friends because you have a similar interest.
64
Like if I like board games and this other person likes board games
65
and we meet and we discuss board games together and we have a great connection and we connect immediately,
66
I can say, ah, we really hit it off.
67
Like, we hit it off immediately and we had an instant connection.
68
Here is the more romantic version of it, perhaps.
69
It doesn't have to be romantic in this case either, but just repeat after me.
70
I think you and Jane would really hit it off.
71
Yeah, that's it.
72
That's good.
73
So I think you and Jane would really like connect.
74
You'd have a strong connection immediately because I know your personality,
75
I know her personality, and I think your personalities would mix very well together.
76
Next, we have to fall for someone.
77
So this means to fall in love with someone, to basically develop the feelings of love for someone.
78
You can use this in the continuous tense, you can use it in the past, in the present, many tenses actually.
79
If you are in the process of this, if you think you are developing feelings,
80
you can say, I think I'm falling in love with him, or I think I am falling for him.
81
Now, repeat after me this sentence right here.
82
It sounds like you're falling in love.
83
Okay.
84
And I just realized I should have written, it sounds like you're falling for him or for her.
85
So let's, we'll use them to cover everyone.
86
So repeat after me one more time.
87
It sounds like you're falling for them.
88
Yeah, it's like it sounds like you are developing those feelings that people associate with love.
89
That warm feeling in your heart where you want to spend time with the person all the time.
90
and next you know you fall for someone sometimes the relationship doesn't work you have to end the relationship
91
which means you have to break up or split up
92
so split like this right you split up with someone
93
or break up with someone uh so repeat after me they broke up last month
94
Yeah, you know, I thought that John and Amy, they were going to make it.
95
They were going to get married.
96
They were going to show us the power of love.
97
But no, we don't know what happened to them.
98
But they broke up last month.
99
So far, so good, right?
100
Next, we have to make up with someone.
101
Sometimes when you break up with someone, you can also make up with them.
102
So, to make up with someone is to reconcile,
103
which means you have an understanding or you come back together after a negative experience like an argument,
104
a fight, or maybe a breakup even.
105
So, for example, repeat after me.
106
We argued, but we made up.
107
Okay, good.
108
Uh, this makes me think of a Taylor Swift song, so I don't put Taylor Swift in my videos very often,
109
but maybe my daughter will be proud of me, or she will say, Dad, you are so cringe.
110
Uh, and we fight, we make up, we kiss, we break up.
111
I think that those are the lyrics to that song that she has.
112
I don't remember the name of the song, but if you know the name of the song that I'm talking about that Taylor Swift sings,
113
please leave it in the comments where she talks about kissing and making up, fighting and breaking up.
114
Next, to go out with someone.
115
This has two meanings.
116
One, to go on a date, right?
117
To go to a coffee shop or to a movie theater.
118
So we went out last night.
119
Now, this can also mean to be in a relationship with someone.
120
If you are married, you don't say
121
that like you go out with your wife or your husband or you are going out with your husband or your wife.
122
When you are going out with someone, you are dating them, which means you are having experiences together,
123
and maybe your relationship will be long -term.
124
Maybe it won't.
125
You're not sure yet.
126
So repeat after me.
127
Bia is going out with Ryan.
128
Yeah, so this means Bia.
129
Maybe they have been on two dates together.
130
I say, oh yeah, she's going out with Ryan.
131
You know, they are spending time together.
132
Next, we have to cheat.
133
And you can cheat on someone.
134
So if you cheat on someone, this means you kiss someone or you have sex with someone who is outside of your relationship.
135
So for example, repeat after me.
136
Eric cheated on Melissa.
137
Melissa.
138
In this situation, Melissa and Eric are together.
139
They are boyfriend and girlfriend, perhaps husband and wife.
140
And if Eric cheated on Melissa,
141
this means Eric found someone outside of his relationship and either kissed someone else or had sex with someone else.
142
Not a good thing.
143
Next up, we have drift apart.
144
This is also a sad, slow separation from someone.
145
So this one is not only about romantic relationships.
146
You can drift apart in a friendship.
147
You can drift apart with from a family member, for example.
148
So to drift apart is to slowly go in different directions.
149
right
150
so i am becoming a different person you are becoming a different person
151
we don't have the same interests anymore we don't really talk anymore
152
but we just slowly go in opposite directions we drift apart
153
so repeat after me um we'll do this in two sections so repeat the first part
154
We used to be close, but we drifted apart.
155
Yeah, so we used to be close, this means we were close in the past, but then we just drifted apart.
156
When you think of the verb drift, think of a piece of wood on the water
157
and another piece of wood on the water
158
and they're just going slowly in different directions finally we have to settle down now
159
when you settle down you commit to a long -term relationship
160
so repeat after me i've dated enough i'm ready to settle down
161
good so
162
if you are ready to settle down this means i am ready to commit to one person usually
163
when you settle down you pick one place to be your home
164
and basically you stay in
165
that place for a long time you start a family many people start families
166
or you just stay together with your partner and you're not interested in other people anymore, in dating other people.
167
You just want to start a life with someone.
168
So, that is it for this video.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
