Shadowing Practice: 15 Important English Phrasal Verbs - Learn English Speaking with Video

English speakers never say, I need to review my grammar or let's conclude this meeting.

Have you noticed that they're using words like,

I need to brush up on my English grammar or let's wrap up this meeting?

That's because native English speakers use phrasal verbs like the 15 that I'll teach you in today's lesson.

The phrasal verbs in today's lesson are some of the most important

and some natural ones that you can easily add to your advanced English vocabulary.

If you want to learn more about this list and more with me,

Kayla, your teacher, make sure to visit my website,

EnglishWithKayla.com, or it will be linked below.

Now, let's get started with the lesson.

The first phrasal verb in today's lesson is to brush up on.

If you are going to brush up on something,

that something is either a skill that you've practiced before or some knowledge that you need to review.

Native English speakers use this phrasal verb because it's really casual.

It's almost like slang, but it just is easy to use.

And it's fun to say when you're talking about reviewing something.

This phrasal verb is really used commonly to talk about practicing languages.

Again, maybe you visited Mexico many,

many years ago with your family and you spoke Spanish on the trip,

but you need to brush up on your Spanish because you haven't used it since.

So it means you need to start to remember it and start to practice it.

And brush up on that Spanish.

If you haven't interviewed for a job in a very long time,

you may want to brush up on your interview skills.

This would be like practicing questions or reading about,

you know, the best ways to answer questions in a job interview,

whatever it might be, or even just polishing up your resume so it looks good.

So brush up on means to review or to practice something that you've done before.

Read some books, brush up on your history.

Another phrasal verb that goes right along with this one is to pick up a skill.

So if you pick up a skill,

it means you gradually learn it over time, sometimes not super intentionally.

So again, going back to languages,

if you went on a trip and you stayed with people who spoke French,

maybe you started to pick up French.

You weren't going to a language class you weren't intentionally trying to learn it,

but you were around people that spoke French so much that you started to pick it up,

started to learn it little by little gradually.

You pick up some social skills.

The reason why this phrasal verb is used so commonly with language is

because the way that we usually learn language is not in a really formal setting.

And when we say we're going to pick up a skill or a hobby or whatever it might be,

it means not in a super formal setting

so maybe you're starting to pick up knitting

that means you're just trying it out for the first time you know maybe you've been watching your grandma

and you're going to try to make something yourself

sammy couldn't pick up any new skills at all or

if you pick up piano it means you didn't go to

official formal piano lessons with a teacher maybe you just listen to songs

or watch youtube videos and gradually naturally over time you started to pick up piano skills

and get good at playing it

so where'd you pick up the tracking skills kate the phrasal verb catch up

so this one is used in two different contexts first it

means you need to either try to reach the same level as someone

when it comes to like a skill or whatever it might be

or if someone's running ahead of you

and you're trying to get to the same point as them

at the same speed you say i need to catch up to them

it could be running or walking or whatever mode of transportation there another way

that we use catch up is when you're going to talk with an old friend

or a colleague and you're trying to you know have the same knowledge

or you're trying to tell them about your life

so they know what's going on in your life up to

date i'll catch you this phrasal verb is really useful in social

and word conversations that's why native speakers will be using it a lot

when you're speaking english with them just catch up let's say you're in college

or in school and you miss class a couple times in a row,

you're going to need to catch up.

So either you're going to need to go talk to your teacher

or review the lecture notes

or talk with a classmate just to get you to the

point where the rest of the classes you need to catch up.

Or we often say i'm going to have coffee with an old friend

and we're going to catch up

that means just update each other on what's going on in

our lives we'll catch up with you the next phrasal verb

i would say is more commonly used in professional places

but you can use it in your everyday life as well the phrasal verb is to follow up

so when you follow up with something

or with someone it means you're taking another action

or having another conversation after something had already happened

so in the business place if you talk to a potential client

and you think you're going to make a sale with them

but they you know they didn't buy from you originally you

might say i'm going to follow up with you later

and see how you feel this just means i'm going to call you again

and talk about the same conversation i'll follow up with you later

if you need to check in with someone after already having

a meeting with them just to see how they're feeling about something

if they understand it you might say i'm going to send

you a follow-up email this is a really common way to

use this phrasal verb as well sure top of next week

is good i'll follow up with an email let's talk about what native english speakers mean

when they say they're going to sort out something a lot of times

when we're talking about sorting out we say sorting out a problem or sorting out a situation

you're kind of implying that there is a problem

or something has gone wrong and you need to figure out what happened

100

and try to come up with a solution or a plan

101

sometimes if you have a scheduling issue whether it's in your personal life

102

or professional life you scheduled two things at the same time

103

or you were scheduled for an appointment at the same time

104

as someone else you might say we need to sort this out

105

106

that just means we need to figure out how we're going to get everything done even though we made a mistake

107

originally we need to sort out the problem we'll get

108

that sorted out or if there's a minor problem

109

while you're trying to do something with a plan

110

and you want to reassure someone

111

that you can get it solved later you can say don't worry we'll sort it all out later

112

that means it won't be a problem we can stop

113

and think about it at a different time this is a

114

really common way to use this phrasal verb as well to

115

sort it out we sort it out later a really common

116

phrasal verb for investigations i I think of like going to the doctor

117

and they're trying to figure out what's wrong with you is to rule out.

118

So when we say that we're going to rule out something,

119

it means we're going to eliminate it as a possibility.

120

Oftentimes, if you go to the doctor and you have a really sore throat,

121

they will say we're going to do a strep test.

122

And if it comes back negative,

123

we can rule that out and figure out if it's a different problem.

124

125

that means they're going to do a test to try to

126

eliminate a solution to rule out cancer oftentimes too you can use this in your decisions

127

and it could be something as simple as where are we going to eat tonight well let's call

128

and see who's open that will rule out our options this means

129

that we'll eliminate the options that are not possible maybe it's a little later

130

so some of the restaurant options might be closed

131

so you're ruling those out you're putting them aside

132

because you can't even use them so it will make your decision easier

133

if you rule out options that aren't available or they're not really realistic

134

i guess that rules out the federal reserve maybe you're deciding where you want to go to college

135

or university

136

and you might say i don't want to rule out any

137

options until i look at the finances the pricing on each of the colleges

138

so that means you want to keep your options open you don't want to rule out

139

or eliminate any choices well i guess

140

that rules out miss lonely hearts one thing that's important in life is to be consistent

141

if you want to achieve your goals

142

or you have any plans to get things done

143

so a really great phrasal verb

144

that english speakers use all the time to talk about this

145

is stick to we need to stick to the plan

146

or i need to stick to my routine this means just doing something consistently and not deviating or going away from it.

147

For me, I love to stick to a routine.

148

I like to go to bed at the same time every night and wake up every morning at the same time.

149

Otherwise, I sleep in, I don't get as much done,

150

or if I stay up too late,

151

then I'm tired the next day.

152

So I really try to stick to my routine or do it consistently every day.

153

Stick to the list.

154

A lot of people, when they are trying to lose weight

155

or trying to improve their health even they need to stick to their diet

156

and their workout plan if they deviate then they might stop doing it entirely

157

so that means they have to do it consistently and

158

if you know you've read james clear's book you know

159

that you can't skip a habit two days in a row you can skip it once

160

but don't do it two days in a row stick to

161

the basics stick to the basics stick to the basics sometimes

162

if you come up with a plan maybe it's at work

163

or maybe it's just for a day in your personal life with your friend you're going to see a movie

164

and then go to dinner at a different place you have it all planned out

165

and then someone says well should we do this instead

166

and you think no we already planned it out like we should stay with what we're doing you should say

167

we're just going to stick with the original plan.

168

Stick with the original plan or stick to the original plan.

169

You can say this phrasal verb with either stick to or stick with.

170

Stick to the plan.

171

Speaking of habits, a lot of people are trying to develop a habit to cut down on certain things.

172

Let's talk about it.

173

Maybe you're trying to cut down on your spending.

174

You're trying to reduce the amount of money you spend.

175

Or maybe you're trying to cut down on sweets

176

so you're not drinking pop

177

or eating dessert you're trying to reduce the amount of sweet food

178

or sugary food that you eat so this phrasal verb it's super natural especially

179

when we're talking about eliminating

180

or just reducing these bad things in our life you'll cut down on the drinking many people

181

that i know are trying to cut down on their screen time

182

and they're trying to improve their reading habits so you can see

183

that this phrasal verb is used a lot of times

184

when we're talking about health or habits

185

or healthy habits both of them this is

186

when it's most frequently used to cut down on bad things

187

cuts down on the number of incidents after you make a decision

188

or after you solve a problem

189

or go through you know a hard period in your life you might say

190

that now it's time to just move forward this phrasal verb it's really optimistic

191

it's really positive it's saying you know we had this hard thing happen

192

or we had this problem now

193

that we've solved it we're just going to keep going

194

and we're almost going to act like nothing has happened we're

195

going to try to keep going positively forward we just say let's move forward now

196

that we've figured out the problem can we move forward maybe

197

you're talking to your friend after they had a tough breakup

198

or maybe they lost their job or something

199

and they've been recovering for a while and now you tell them it's time to just move forward with your life.

200

Do something positive.

201

So that's how we use this phrasal verb.

202

We can use it in a really dramatic way or just simply

203

if we plan out what we're going to do with our group at work for a project

204

or just solving a minor problem we can say okay now that we've got that sorted out we can move forward.

205

So there's two phrasal verbs used in action for you there.

206

Let's move forward together.

207

One thing that I hear a lot of older parents say is

208

that someday you'll look back on the years

209

that your kids were really young

210

and you wish you could go back even though those years are difficult

211

and challenging just because kids require so much care at a young age.

212

So the phrasal verb here is to look back on.

213

So this is when we're thinking about or talking about things in the past.

214

a lot of times we can look back on things

215

and think positively about them like our kids being young

216

or we look back on our own childhood

217

and we like how things went

218

but sometimes we can reflect in a way where we would change things many years ago

219

so I look back on when I was in college

220

and I wish I would have just studied more I wish

221

I would have networked more meaning you know gone out

222

and met people

223

that could help you in your professional life whatever it might be you're looking back on things fondly

224

or you know positively or you're looking back on things

225

and you're wishing that you could change your own behavior look back on this

226

and laugh so this phrasal verb to look back on something some sort of memory

227

or time period in your life it's used a lot

228

when we're you know reflecting on things

229

or we're trying to think about what would we would do differently or what went really well.

230

Linda, look back on this night and be very sorry.

231

A really important phrasal verb in English that you should know is to point out something.

232

A lot of times we talk about pointing out a mistake.

233

This means you're drawing attention to it.

234

You're letting someone know that there's a mistake,

235

whether you're reading something that they wrote or you're looking at,

236

you know, something that they designed, whatever it might be.

237

You just want to let them know if you're pointing it out.

238

I'd be pointing out Constellation.

239

You can point out something really positive that someone has done,

240

especially if you're a leader or boss of a group.

241

So maybe in your workplace,

242

your manager might say, I want to point out your really great work on this report.

243

This means that you're just highlighting it.

244

You're letting everyone else know that you had great work.

245

So you can point out mistakes,

246

which is really common, Or you can point out something positive or just something that someone would not have noticed.

247

Like, oh, I just wanted to point out that really cool bird over there.

248

Which, you know, if you're a bird person, you might do.

249

Okay, just pointing it out.

250

To come across as.

251

This is an interesting phrasal verb.

252

It means you're seeming or appearing to be something or to be like something.

253

So I don't want to come across as rude,

254

but I just need to let you know that whatever it might be

255

so this is just used to say like i don't want to appear rude

256

because i'm not really rude come across as too cool

257

and likable or you might tell people i might come across as confident

258

but i'm actually really worried about what people think of me

259

so this means you know i appear to be confident

260

but in reality i'm not i come across as a hypocrite

261

this phrasal verb is mainly used to just talk about how

262

you are appearing to other people socially that's why we commonly

263

use this phrasal of work say like oh they came across as really rude

264

or they came across as really cold this means kind of closed off

265

and not very friendly or you could say they came across as friendly

266

but they left pretty quick so I'm not sure

267

if they were having fun you come across as uneducated to wind down this phrasal verb means to relax

268

or just to you know find calmness after something stressful

269

or a lot of work a lot of people say

270

that they need to wind down at night

271

so they can't just go into their bedroom lie down

272

and fall asleep immediately they neither need to they either need to watch tv

273

or they need to wind down by reading that's just means a relaxing time winding down

274

or all vinyl reunion weekend points i class of 86 oftentimes people talk about winding down in the evening

275

because you're going from being really active

276

and working really hard to having to get into that sleep period

277

so there's that in-between time that we talk about winding down

278

if kids are really hyped up we say okay it's time

279

to wind down now let's read a book let's cuddle let's lay down

280

whose career is winding down and let's go back to

281

that phrasal verb that we talked about the very beginning of this lesson to wrap up

282

when you say that you're going to wrap up something it just means you're going to conclude it

283

or you're going to finish it you're going to do a quick summary and then you're going to end it.

284

But don't worry, I'm not going to wrap up or finish this lesson yet.

285

We still have one more phrasal verb.

286

Now look, wrap up whatever you need to wrap up down here.

287

I promise I won't drag on.

288

Do you know this phrasal verb?

289

If we say that someone is dragging on,

290

it just means that they go on talking longer than it is expected and it's getting kind of boring.

291

Or if you say this day is dragging on,

292

again, it's like it's taking a really long time.

293

It's very boring it's used in a negative way.

294

If someone's dragging on.

295

It could drag on for quite a while.

296

If something feels endless, you might say it's dragging on.

297

For me, it feels like winter is dragging on and I just want it to be spring.

298

So it just means like it feels very long.

299

It feels like it's not actually going to have an end.

300

It's just this new case looks like it's going to drag on into next year.

301

If you want to start sounding more natural in English,

302

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
