Hi everybody and welcome back.
2
Today we're going to take another look at the preposition "on" and what it can mean when it's used with phrasal verbs.
3
So in a previous video We saw that on can mean connect.
4
or be connected to something.
5
And we can extend this metaphorically to get the idea of about or regarding.
6
And the reason for this is when we say "about something" or "regarding something" It's just another way to say,
7
connected to something.
8
For example, if I say I read a book about animals.
9
It just means I read a book connected to animals.
10
So to recap: "On" can mean connected to, and connected to can mean about or regarding.
11
So let's take a look at some examples of phrasal verbs that use "on" in this way.
12
How do you think we could describe this using a phrasal verb with "on" in which "on" means about or regarding?
13
Here, a woman says something nice to a man about his hat.
14
So we can say: The woman compliments the man on his hat.
15
Compliments means say something nice, And on means about.
16
So the sentence just means: The woman says something nice to the man about his hat.
17
Okay, let's try another one.
18
How do you think we could describe this using a phrasal verb with on?
19
Here, a committee votes, regarding a proposal.
20
So we can say, The committee votes on the proposal.
21
Votes means vote.
22
and on means regarding.
23
So the sentence just means: the committee votes regarding the proposal.
24
Alright, let's try one more.
25
How do you think we could describe this?
26
you Here,
27
a bartender makes a drink, but adds an insufficient amount of rum to it.
28
So we can say, The bartender skimps on the rum.
29
Skimps means use an insufficient amount and on means regarding.
30
So the sentence can be understood as meaning The bartender uses an insufficient amount regarding the rum.
31
you So,
32
I hope this helped you understand the preposition "on" a little bit better, and why it can sometimes mean "about" or "regarding".
33
and we'll see you next time.
34
Cheers.

O que você vai aprender

Nesse vídeo, você desenvolve três habilidades práticas: usar o preposição "on" em phrasal verbs para expressar "sobre" ou "a respeito de", identificar contextos onde "on" substitui "about" de forma natural e aplicar essas estruturas em frases cotidianas, como "compliment someone on" (elogiar alguém sobre) ou "vote on" (votar a respeito de). Essas habilidades são essenciais para falar inglês de forma mais fluente e precisa.

Ouça esses sons

Na fala do apresentador, preste atenção na connected speech (fala conectada) em frases como "compliments the man on his hat" – note que "on his" é pronunciado quase como "onhis", com a vogal reduzida. Também ouça a redução em "skimps on the rum", onde "on the" fica "onthe". Esses detalhes ajudam a entender a fala nativa e a se integrar melhor em conversas reais.

Fale como um nativo

Para imitar o ritmo e a ênfase do falante, use a técnica de shadowing em inglês (também chamada de "shadow speak" ou "shadow speech"): reproduza as frases imediatamente após o vídeo, tentando igualar a velocidade e a ênfase. Por exemplo, na frase "The committee votes on the proposal", a ênfase está em "votes" e "proposal" – destaque essas palavras. Pratique diariamente com vídeos como esse para melhorar sua pronúncia e fluência. Sites de shadowing podem ajudar a treinar essa técnica de forma estruturada, mas até mesmo com o YouTube, você consegue aprender inglês de forma eficaz, repetindo as frases até que elas fiquem naturais.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
