쉐도잉 연습: Phrasal verb prepositions: "ON" part 01 - The basic meaning of "on" - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

Hi everyone and welcome back.

Today we're going to take a look at the basic meaning for the preposition "on"

and what it can mean when it's used with phrasal verbs.

So "on" is used in about 800 phrasal verbs and has between 15 to 20 different meanings.

Now to understand where all these different meanings come from, it's helpful to have a clear image of its core meaning.

So in a previous video We saw that the preposition "off" looks like this:

And ON is basically just the opposite of OFF, so it would look like this.

Now the first thing you'll notice about this animation is that the red square lands onto the black surface.

that is, it connects to, or attaches to, the surface.

Therefore, we can think of ON as meaning "connect" or "attach".

So let's take a look at some examples of phrasal verbs with "on" in which "on" means "attach" or "connect".

How do you think we could describe this?

Here, a man moves a hat, and attaches it to his head.

So we can say, "The man puts on a hat." Puts means move.

and on means attach.

So the sentence just means: The man moves a hat and attaches it to his head.

you Alright, let's try another one.

How do you think we could describe this using a phrasal verb with on, in which on means attach or connect?

you you you Here, a man twists a lid,

you you and connects it to a jar.

So we can say, "The man screws on the lid." Screws means twist.

and on means connect.

so the sentence can be understood as meaning, The man connects the lid by twisting it.

you you you So one of the core meanings of "on" can be "connect to" or "attach",

but that's not the only way to interpret it.

A preposition can represent either a motion or a location.

And when we look at the animation again, We can see that after the red square moves and connects to the black surface,

its position is touching it.

Therefore, we can also think of on as meaning touching, or in contact with.

So let's take a look at some examples of phrasal verbs with "on" in which "on" means "touching" or "in contact with".

How do you think we could describe this?

you Here, a man comes into contact with some ice. and slips.

So we can say, "The man slips on the ice." Slips means slip.

and on means contact.

So the sentence just means: The man slips.

Contact the ICE.

Or, in other words, The man slips when he comes in contact with the ice.

you Alright, let's try one more.

How do you think we could describe this?

you Here, we touch the icon with our cursor, and click the mouse.

you So we can say we click on the icon.

Click means click the mouse.

And on means touch.

So the sentence just means: We touch the icon and click the mouse.

you So, I hope this helped you understand the basic meaning for the preposition "on" a little bit better. And...

We'll see you next time.

Cheers.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
