Do you know what a phrasal verb is? In this lesson, I explain what phrasal verbs are, and also give examples of phrasal verbs that make use of the word ‘up’.
I don’t have a list of common phrasal verbs right now but I am working on something to help you. It’s a course that will help you understand phrasal verbs. I’ll let you know when it’s ready. Meanwhile, I will produce other videos to help you with phrasal verbs.
Meanwhile you can check out the phrasal verbs with “bird” and “hand”.
About James’s writing on this video, I think it’s hard to read just because the light is too bright and it bounces on the whiteboard. Or maybe he’s pen is just running low on ink! hihihihi…
Hi James, my name is Jenny and I’m going to do the IELTS next week. I believe that your videos are very useful especially “idioms” and off course this one. I really apreciate if you tell me where can I look up more useful information about phrasal verbs because I only have found meaning but nothing like your work.
Thanks you and congratulations for your excelent work, you make me laugh a lot ;)
Hi James!
You are a fantastic teacher! congratulations… you clear up some of my doubt! thanks… but I must confess that I must study more… Are there exercises to do? I accept homework…
Thank you so much. I enjoy learning from native people. You are nice for teaching. On the other hand is truth that some lesson was nearly invisible for us.
Dear James,
thank you very very much for your videos – you help so many students!
I know that teaching is hardworking… I worked as a teacher of German language for 25 years. At the time I live in UK and I am trying to improve my English /suffered from German-English schizophrenia/ so I am very thankful for your help!
Wish you all the best!
hi james
I have a question about up
what is the difference between I will fill up and I will fill it ?
do we use it only for the future tense ?(how should have used “only” for that question?)
thanks
Dear James, i had seen your lessons at website vkontakte.ru, they are very popular there too….it was interested me, and that is why i desided to be one of your students here…your work is very important for all of your students. it is holiday for me when i am watching your videos…thanks for your work, you make me happy! :)

Thank you very much for your class! Well done!
I have a comment for you: the legibility should be improved. What you write can’t almost be read! Anyway, your video cheered me up!
Best wishes,

Yeah, “Up” is a hip word to use! ( is it slang?)

Nilo,
You are right on both counts — the marker was running out and the light was a little too bright.
We’ve fixed the problem and I hope the new lessons are easier to read.

Hello,
congrats for you! You’re the best teacher here with such a nice explanation and I feel you have a great pleasure to teach.
I have a questions for you. what about the “down” phrasal verb?
Does it mean that I have to speed down something?? for instance: Write down!
thanks, buddy.

Thanks James! You’re a great teacher (better than my english teacher at school). I’m happy that i’m found this website – thanks to you.
It’s totally particularly elegant to listening to you instead of that i’m listening to my english teacher at school whose native language is finnish.
I hope that you understand me. Could you tell me how i can learn better english language. And could you fix my typo, please.
Have a nice day!
