hi I'm Michelle welcome to learn English
0:08
with be Global in today's lesson we're
0:11
going to take a look at phrasal verbs
0:14
that are using the preposition up so
0:18
come on take a look with me and let's
0:21
learn a few new phrasal verbs today
0:31
hi the first thing that we're going to
0:32
take a look at today is using the
0:35
preposition up together with some verbs
0:39
that are going to create new phrasal
0:40
verbs that are expressions that we're
0:42
going to use to convey meaning about
0:45
something in particular right now we're
0:48
going to take a look at up when it's
0:50
used to express of movement upwards so
0:54
all of the Expressions that I'm about to
0:56
share with you have to do with some sort
0:59
of upward movement okay the first one
1:03
we're going to take a look at is to get
1:05
up to get up means to actually wake up
1:09
and to rise out of bed I got up at 6
1:13
o'clock this morning what about you what
1:16
time are you planning to get up tomorrow
1:20
morning okay to stand up is the next one
1:24
to stand up stand up means to physically
1:28
make a motion to R rise out of perhaps a
1:32
chair or somewhere if you're sitting
1:34
down on the floor anytime that you're in
1:37
a sitting position if you rise up to a
1:41
standing position you are standing up
1:45
can everyone please stand
1:47
up okay to look up to look up simply can
1:51
mean to raise your eyes to look towards
1:54
something in the sky or it also can mean
1:57
to have some respect for someone for
2:00
example I look up to my
2:03
parents to jump up to jump up is
2:07
slightly different than standing up
2:09
because standing up is a very controlled
2:12
action whereas jumping up is very quick
2:16
where you spring from the position you
2:18
are onto your feet perhaps because
2:20
you're startled or you're in a hurry to
2:24
jump up the next one is to put up one's
2:28
hand to put up one's hand is to raise
2:32
your hand up you might have heard the
2:35
song put your hands up put your hands up
2:38
so to put up your hand means to raise
2:43
it to be up to be up means to be
2:48
awake so what time were you up this
2:52
morning what time are you going to be up
2:55
I will be up at 5 o'
3:01
to go up to go up means to rise from one
3:06
place to another um to a higher level so
3:10
you can go up a level on the computer
3:13
game you can go up in position of
3:18
authority maybe uh better position at
3:20
your office you can go up the stairs you
3:23
can go up to the top of the mountain so
3:29
to R from one position to the other is
3:31
to go up to climb up climb up definitely
3:38
has to do with stairs or a mountain or
3:40
anything that takes the movement we can
3:43
interchange go up and climb up for
3:46
example I'm going to go up the mountain
3:48
tomorrow but it would make more sense to
3:51
say climb up because we are using a
3:54
climing motion to get from one place to
3:58
the other
4:00
to sit up to sit up means to physically
4:04
move from a laying down flat position
4:08
and rising to a sitting position that's
4:11
why we also have the exercise it's
4:13
called sit-ups to do sit-ups so to sit
4:16
up is to come from a lying down flat
4:19
position to a sitting
4:22
position to throw something up to throw
4:26
something up could be like throwing a
4:29
ball from this position to up higher it
4:33
also does have to do with someone
4:35
sometimes who has a stomach ache and
4:38
they vomit we also use this expression
4:41
to throw up or to throw something
4:44
up okay thank you that's the um phrasal
4:49
verbs that have to do with a movement
4:51
upwards we're going to move on to a few
4:54
different phrasal verbs using up let's
4:57
take a look with me now
5:05
okay moving right along now we're going
5:07
to take a look at when up is used as a
5:11
movement towards a place where something
5:14
is for example the taxi drove up the
5:18
taxi drove up to us and asked if we
5:21
wanted to ride somewhere that means he
5:24
approached us he came near to us he
5:27
drove up to us
5:30
to move up north to move up north let us
5:35
know that you are residing somewhere in
5:39
the South for example I moved up north
5:42
many years ago I was living in the state
5:45
of Louisiana and I moved to the state of
5:48
New York so I moved up
5:53
north to go straight up to the
5:56
door that simply means to go Direct
5:59
directly to something in this case a
6:02
door we have can use the Expression also
6:05
to mean that someone approached us
6:08
directly for example she came straight
6:11
up to me and said hello that means that
6:14
person walked right
6:15
up came directly to me and said
6:20
hello to go up to New York to go up to
6:25
something or some place um we use this
6:28
expression when we're visiting somewhere
6:30
that means I'm going to New York but
6:33
more than likely it's letting you know
6:35
that I live somewhere south of New York
6:38
because if I was traveling to another
6:40
city that is south of me I would say I'm
6:44
going down
6:46
to for example I'm if I lived in New
6:49
York I might say I'm going down to
6:50
Florida tomorrow but if I lived in
6:53
Florida and I was going to New York I
6:55
would say I'm going up to New York next
6:58
week
7:00
okay let's take a look at the next
7:01
section shall
7:09
we up can also be used to mean a rise or
7:14
an increasing
7:16
intensity for example the prices are
7:18
going
7:20
up gas has really gone up in the past
7:23
couple of years prices are going up all
7:27
over the world that means that prices
7:30
are increasing they're getting higher
7:33
they're costing more
7:36
money sales are up this year sales are
7:41
up this phrase means that sales are much
7:45
better this year than they were last
7:47
year the sales are
7:51
up please turn up the volume can you
7:56
increase the volume can you turn it l
7:59
louder so that I can hear turn it
8:03
up can you please speak up to speak up
8:08
means to talk a little bit
8:11
louder or to be a little bit
8:14
quieter to speak
8:16
up so if you can't hear someone you want
8:20
them to to ask them to please speak up a
8:23
little
8:24
bit let's take a look at a few more
8:32
okay now we're going to take a look at
8:34
when we're using up to represent
8:38
something that is totally completed
8:40
finished or
8:43
closed for example they ate all of the
8:47
food up that means they completed it
8:50
there wasn't any food left who ate up
8:54
all of the cake
8:58
hm time time is up time's up that means
9:03
there is no more time whatever time you
9:05
were given maybe to complete a test or
9:09
the time uh that you were given to
9:12
complete a
9:14
project there's no more time time's up
9:18
the work that you were doing must be
9:21
completed at this
9:23
point the stream has dried up dried up
9:29
that means that there is no more water
9:31
in the Stream the water's gone it is
9:35
dried up there used to be a stream or
9:37
there used to be a
9:38
creek but it dried up there is no more
9:42
water
9:43
left button
9:45
up button up
9:48

9:52
this expression especially with children
9:55
make sure you button up before you go
9:57

10:01
warm okay I hope that you're warm
10:04

10:08

10:21
at some random Expressions that are
10:23
using the preposition up okay let's see
10:27
