1
English speakers never say, I need to review my grammar or let's conclude this meeting.
2
Have you noticed that they're using words like,
3
I need to brush up on my English grammar or let's wrap up this meeting?
4
That's because native English speakers use phrasal verbs like the 15 that I'll teach you in today's lesson.
5
The phrasal verbs in today's lesson are some of the most important
6
and some natural ones that you can easily add to your advanced English vocabulary.
7
If you want to learn more about this list and more with me,
8
Kayla, your teacher, make sure to visit my website,
9
EnglishWithKayla.com, or it will be linked below.
10
Now, let's get started with the lesson.
11
The first phrasal verb in today's lesson is to brush up on.
12
If you are going to brush up on something,
13
that something is either a skill that you've practiced before or some knowledge that you need to review.
14
Native English speakers use this phrasal verb because it's really casual.
15
It's almost like slang, but it just is easy to use.
16
And it's fun to say when you're talking about reviewing something.
17
This phrasal verb is really used commonly to talk about practicing languages.
18
Again, maybe you visited Mexico many,
19
many years ago with your family and you spoke Spanish on the trip,
20
but you need to brush up on your Spanish because you haven't used it since.
21
So it means you need to start to remember it and start to practice it.
22
And brush up on that Spanish.
23
If you haven't interviewed for a job in a very long time,
24
you may want to brush up on your interview skills.
25
This would be like practicing questions or reading about,
26
you know, the best ways to answer questions in a job interview,
27
whatever it might be, or even just polishing up your resume so it looks good.
28
So brush up on means to review or to practice something that you've done before.
29
Read some books, brush up on your history.
30
Another phrasal verb that goes right along with this one is to pick up a skill.
31
So if you pick up a skill,
32
it means you gradually learn it over time, sometimes not super intentionally.
33
So again, going back to languages,
34
if you went on a trip and you stayed with people who spoke French,
35
maybe you started to pick up French.
36
You weren't going to a language class you weren't intentionally trying to learn it,
37
but you were around people that spoke French so much that you started to pick it up,
38
started to learn it little by little gradually.
39
You pick up some social skills.
40
The reason why this phrasal verb is used so commonly with language is
41
because the way that we usually learn language is not in a really formal setting.
42
And when we say we're going to pick up a skill or a hobby or whatever it might be,
43
it means not in a super formal setting
44
so maybe you're starting to pick up knitting
45
that means you're just trying it out for the first time you know maybe you've been watching your grandma
46
and you're going to try to make something yourself
47
sammy couldn't pick up any new skills at all or
48
if you pick up piano it means you didn't go to
49
official formal piano lessons with a teacher maybe you just listen to songs
50
or watch youtube videos and gradually naturally over time you started to pick up piano skills
51
and get good at playing it
52
so where'd you pick up the tracking skills kate the phrasal verb catch up
53
so this one is used in two different contexts first it
54
means you need to either try to reach the same level as someone
55
when it comes to like a skill or whatever it might be
56
or if someone's running ahead of you
57
and you're trying to get to the same point as them
58
at the same speed you say i need to catch up to them
59
it could be running or walking or whatever mode of transportation there another way
60
that we use catch up is when you're going to talk with an old friend
61
or a colleague and you're trying to you know have the same knowledge
62
or you're trying to tell them about your life
63
so they know what's going on in your life up to
64
date i'll catch you this phrasal verb is really useful in social
65
and word conversations that's why native speakers will be using it a lot
66
when you're speaking english with them just catch up let's say you're in college
67
or in school and you miss class a couple times in a row,
68
you're going to need to catch up.
69
So either you're going to need to go talk to your teacher
70
or review the lecture notes
71
or talk with a classmate just to get you to the
72
point where the rest of the classes you need to catch up.
73
Or we often say i'm going to have coffee with an old friend
74
and we're going to catch up
75
that means just update each other on what's going on in
76
our lives we'll catch up with you the next phrasal verb
77
i would say is more commonly used in professional places
78
but you can use it in your everyday life as well the phrasal verb is to follow up
79
so when you follow up with something
80
or with someone it means you're taking another action
81
or having another conversation after something had already happened
82
so in the business place if you talk to a potential client
83
and you think you're going to make a sale with them
84
but they you know they didn't buy from you originally you
85
might say i'm going to follow up with you later
86
and see how you feel this just means i'm going to call you again
87
and talk about the same conversation i'll follow up with you later
88
or
89
if you need to check in with someone after already having
90
a meeting with them just to see how they're feeling about something
91
or
92
if they understand it you might say i'm going to send
93
you a follow-up email this is a really common way to
94
use this phrasal verb as well sure top of next week
95
is good i'll follow up with an email let's talk about what native english speakers mean
96
when they say they're going to sort out something a lot of times
97
when we're talking about sorting out we say sorting out a problem or sorting out a situation
98
you're kind of implying that there is a problem
99
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
so
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
So
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
make sure you're using phrasal verbs in your everyday vocabulary.

Thông Tin Về Bài Học

Trong bài học hôm nay, bạn sẽ khám phá 15 cụm động từ quan trọng trong tiếng Anh mà người bản ngữ thường xuyên sử dụng. Những cụm động từ này không chỉ giúp bạn giao tiếp tự nhiên hơn mà còn là một phần không thể thiếu trong từ vựng tiếng Anh nâng cao. Bạn sẽ học cách áp dụng chúng trong các tình huống khác nhau, từ việc ôn tập kiến thức đến việc cải thiện kỹ năng phỏng vấn.

Từ Vựng & Cụm Từ Quan Trọng

  • Brush up on: ôn tập hoặc luyện tập một kỹ năng hoặc kiến thức mà bạn đã học trước đó.
  • Wrap up: kết thúc một cuộc họp hoặc một hoạt động nào đó.
  • Pick up: học được một kỹ năng một cách từ từ, không quá chủ ý.

  • Social skills: kỹ năng giao tiếp xã hội, học hỏi từ trải nghiệm thực tế.
  • Interview skills: kỹ năng phỏng vấn, những điều cần chú ý khi tham gia phỏng vấn việc làm.

Mẹo Luyện Tập

Khi bạn thực hành với các cụm động từ này, hãy chú ý đến tốc độ và giọng điệu của người nói trong video. Một cách hiệu quả để luyện nói tiếng Anh là sử dụng phần mềm shadowing, nơi bạn có thể nghe và lặp lại từng cụm từ ngay sau khi nghe. Điều này không chỉ giúp bạn cải thiện phát âm mà còn giúp bạn ghi nhớ cách sử dụng từ trong ngữ cảnh.

Để tối ưu trải nghiệm shadowing tiếng Anh, hãy cố gắng lặp lại không chỉ những gì bạn nghe mà còn cố gắng bắt chước ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu và cách nhấn mạnh của người bản ngữ. Hãy sử dụng shadowing site để tìm kiếm nhiều ví dụ khác nhau và mở rộng kiến thức của bạn về cách dùng cụm động từ.

Trong khi luyện danh sách từ vựng, hãy thử áp dụng vào những tình huống thực tế trong cuộc sống, ví dụ như mô phỏng một buổi phỏng vấn hoặc trao đổi với bạn bè. Nhớ rằng việc luyện tập thường xuyên sẽ giúp bạn cải thiện kỹ năng giao tiếp của mình.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
