Phrasal Verbs with PASS: pass up, pass away, pass out…

Very helpful your lesson your are the best teacher for me thanks a lot

Miguel Jimenéz Agudelo

Thanks for following my humble piece of advice Miguel;I’d really appreciate it.

All my best to you for this New Year.

Regards

Regino

Hi Adam. it’s me again! Just one comment on your definition of phrasal verbs:

According to my old grammars a Phrasal Verb is made up of a Verb + a Particle ( which could be either a preposition or an adverb).

As for the lesson,I must admit that there were some phrasal verbs whose meaning I did not know.The quiz,however, helps to understand much better their usage.By the way, well-designed quiz, Bravo!

Thnks,Ciao!

Regino

That’s fair enough Regino. It’s just that even the adverbs in phrasal verbs are words that can also be used as prepositions. Down, for example, can be both prep. or adv. I think many students would get confused if I introduced adverbs into the equation.

Adam

Adverbs used as prepositions in phrasal verbs? Wow! I didn’t know this.

I agree with you Adam, it’s much better to keep it that way, for the sake of simplicity.

Thanks for your feedback.

Regino

Thanks, I learn from your lessons . I am greatful. I have a request, would you please could give a lesson about (quite few, quite bet , quite long).

Respectfully,

Hala

Hala1045

Hi Hala,

IU’ll see what I can do, but for now, ‘quite’ is an adverb of degree. It means “more than a little”. So if someone says “quite a few people came to the party” it means that there was a good number of guests.

Does this help?

Adam

Thanks, teacher Adam. It seemed I didn’t do very well in the quiz, but as I say to my students, it’s good to learn from mistakes.

Erick-Pio

Indeed Erick :). and if at first you don’t succeed, try try again.

Adam

Hello all,

Thank you Adam

tsamp

Hi, Adam,
Thank you for this valuable information.
Could you please confirm that we should not use phrasal verbs in IELTS/TOEFL speaking and writing test?

LEARNER

Hi Thiago,

On the contrary, if you can use them correctly and appropriately (i.e., not forced), then these can actually help you vocab range score.

Adam

jj1995

Hi Adam!!! You’re one of the best teachers!
Please help me! i don’t know which sentence is right:
”Things are closer than never”…or ”Things are closer than ever”…Greetings from Nicaragua! Making a video of this would be great! ;)

Ruben Lezama

Hi Ruben,

Things are closer than ever– this is correct. ever means all time, so you can compare something to all the past. Never is no time, so cannot be compared.

Adam

Thank you very much, Adam!!! I’ve got 100%

Dmitriy Kharkovsky

Thanks Adam! You are the best teacher!!! ?

Hello everyone from engVid team, i am so thankful for all the youtube videos. I would like to request you to do a lesson on “travel by bus and subway”.
It was my first time travelled by bus and subway today and i kind of got lost. Then i asked the people around me, they helped me find out my way back home. Canadian people are really so kind. I am also in toronto. I would like to meet you guys in person one day :)

Thida90

I’ll get on that :)

Adam

Thank you Adam for your lesson is very useful for me and I often see all these phasal verbs in situations such as on magazines, books , conversation, online material .

Ukrit

Bernerie

Hello,I’m Harwin. I have a question about pronouns.
Why do we use has or does or s,es at the end of verbs when we use he, she, it as a subject?
Why we don’t use do and have or base form of the verb as we use it with another pronouns?

Harwin

Hi Harwin,

Why is the sky blue? I know there is a technical answer, but the easiest one is “it just is.” Same for some grammar rules. In the third person singular present, add an ‘s’ to the verb. :)

Adam

yay! I got 100- 10 out of 10. Thanks Adam

Nathann

Matiola

That’s the best way to do it, Matiola: practice :)

Adam

elsam mohamed

Adam

adam

elsam mohamed

Hi Elsam,

This lesson is about the verb “pass”. “Take” is in another lesson :)

Adam

It’s very important to know these phrasal verbs, Adam. Thank you!

awesome lesson ¡¡ keep the good work

haferlin

Thanks! it was very interesting to me!

Anastasiya22

interesting lesson. Very clear explanation. Thank you.

Abhi

Thanks, Adam.
But I want to ask
If there is a question needs us to describe the data shown in diagrams or table, the answer should be ‘The diagram/table shows that…’ or ‘The diagram/table showed that…’?
Which tense should we use? or both correct?
Besides, after ‘show that’ the verb we should use which tense?
e.g. ‘The table shows/ed that it is increasing’ or ‘The table shows/ed that it was increasing’?
I’m so confused.
Thanks in advance.

Sophie

Hi Sophie,

As the table doesn’t change, it always shows something. What it shows can be information about the past (that prices increased from 1970-19990) or the future (The diagram predicts that prices will return to current levels by 2025).

Does this help?

Adam

So that means use present tense?
e.g. “The diagram or table shows….” right?

Sophie

Yes :)

Adam

7 out of 10 not bad for rookie:)

naturalfiji

Welcome Naturalfiji :) Not bad at all.

Adam

Really good video for learning common phrasal verbs.
Thanks a lot Adam!

luison

Thank you, Adam. A very helpful lesson.

RedLO

Thank u Adam!?

Annyne

It’s very helpful for a begging learner English like me, thank you so much.

yenglee

huge thanks sir ,,,, i wish one day you will pass down your language to me hhhhhhhh

shapol88

Thanks Adam, I can clearly understand your lesson,but temporarily,I can’t remember all of them, so I just get 8/10 points.

Chau Le

“Five little monkeys jumping on the bed…”

Hi Adam! Is that present or past, that line of a famous song?(because the next lines written in past- jumped, bumped etc) And there’s no TO BE verb after monkeys?
Thank you.

KATRIN777

Hi Katrin,

I’ll have to guess it’s the past. But it’s probably a participle. Don’t think of the -ing as a sign of a present tense– it’s a sign of an active participle.

Does that help?

Adam

Sorry Adam, I’m just a fool!!! It’s a very big help!!!

KATRIN777

Thank you so much, Adam! It is useful and interesting lesson. I love the way you explain phrasal verbs. Unfortunately, I got only 7 correct out of 10. These verbs confuse me. I should watch this lesson again and again.

Elena

thank you so much Adam you are a great teacher :-)

Nadia Tahir

Adam, what does ONE TO MANY mean?
For instance in the song of CUTTING CREW(i just died in your arms tonight).

KATRIN777

By the way, there’s a line in that song:
– On the (surface/service) i’m a name on a list-
But I can’t catch (SURFACE or SERVICE). Please help Adam. Thanks. Bye.

KATRIN777

One too many suggests that you didn’t want any. So if even only 1 came, that’s too many (by 1).

On the surface– superficial, without a deeper meaning.

Adam

So, is it kinda “third wheel”!?(I mean “One too many”).
Thank you Adam.

KATRIN777

3rd wheel suggests that there is a couple and one more that makes the couple uncomfortable. We usually use this for people. So if a guy and a girl want to go on a date, but the girl’s friend comes too, she might feel like a third wheel (unwanted and not needed).

Adam

After watching your lesson second time I got 10 correct out of 10 :) Wow! Eventually, phrasal verbs are not so difficult with you :) Thank you again, Adam!

Elena

Thanks Bro!

Santhus

Adam i know it has nothing to do with this subject but i am really curious . Are you from Europe or smth like that? because there are theories going around about you . I will be very happy if you reply :)

MerveTn01

Hi Merve,

Hmmm… now I’m curious too :) What kinds of theories?

My parents are formerly European ;)

Adam

Hi again Adam! There’s a kid song “driving in my car…”. What does it mean? Is that “I’m driving in my car”?
Thanks.

KATRIN777

Jack be nimble. Juck be quick.(kid’s song)

Does it mean that somebody says to Jack that the Jack must be nimble and quick. (Or maybe that means that Jack is nimble and quick already???)

Thank you Adam!

KATRIN777

I’m guessing it’s the imperative (command).

Adam

Just driving, really. In my car, not someone else’s car. Unless you’re asking why there’s no subject. Keep in mind that songs don’t necessarily follow proper grammar rules. They’re great for listening practice and maybe vocab, but I would not recommend studying grammar from them ;)

Adam

Thank you Adam. That’s clear.

KATRIN777

I thought about participle at first!
(driving in my car)

ADAM! IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU MADE VIDEO FOR UNDERSTANDING SONGS!!! THANK YOU.

KATRIN777

Good idea :)

Adam

i got 10 :-) thank you Adam , you are the best teacher

Elie.mah

Adam, you are one of the best teacher. your lessons are always useful and I like your manner of explanation.

ninakatsia

I do appreciate your efforts and I’d like you to give us some information about verb”CRY” phrasel verbs and idioms including CRY. Many thanks,Adam.

Ismael Ibrahim

I’ll get on that Ismael :)

Adam

don’t let us pass this lesson over/////

Zenny

Hi, Adam.
First of all, I wanna say thank you, because of all your efforts.
Second, in my opinion, I think you should teach vocabulary as well, not only grammar or IELTS.
All of your lessons are either about grammar or IELTS.
There is a tutor on youtube named “Niharika”, she is teaching a lot of vocabulary in a way that we don’t forget. but unfortunately, she is not native English speaker.
It would be great if at least one of you great native teachers teaches us that things in that way.
Best regards.
Mohsen Barati.

Mohsen Barati

Hi Mohsen,

Look around the site a bit; there are actually many vocabulary lessons here.

Adam

Hi Adam,

missing your lessons!
could you pls,ease the different between Kind And sort.
Huge Greeting from Iraq ;)

Pride-vegeta

Hi Pride,

They are pretty much the same and mean a type. You can use them interchangeably, though kind seems to be a little more popular.

Adam

Thanks for this lesson, Adam!

I never pass by your videos. They are important and require attention.

Fabio Cicerre

dear Adam, I have a question about “pass down”. I have built my own sentence with it:”Two days ago I bottomed my house. I sorted out my clothes and found out that I did not wear many of them (even brand new clothes) so I decided to pass them down them to my cousin since she wears the same size as me.”But American friend of mine told me: It may be correct, but we usually only use this(e.g.pass something down) in passive voice. For example:”This family heirloom has been passed down in our family for many generations”. Now I am wondering if it is regional differences between Canadian and American English or I got something wrong… How is it better to use it? Thank you!

Matiola

Hi Matiola,

Your friend has a point. Technically, we can pass something down to others, but if we are discussing a direct action we’d simply say “give”. But, if you buy new clothes and your friend asks what will you do with them when you are bored of them, then you can tell your friend that you will pass them down to your younger cousin who can then use them. When we talk in the first person (I, me) about something given to us, then we commonly use the passive (it was passed down to me by…)

Does this help?

Adam

oh! I have written “them” twice, sorry

Matiola

Omg Adam is very good and charismatic teacher! :)

Lala Q

I’m not bad either ;)

Mir Murad

Thanks everyone :) Remember, it’s not easy, but with practice it can become so.

Adam

Hello Adam,
I’ve just subscribed to engvid. I love English very much and I really want to brush it up. I like your teaching the most. I like the way you teach. It’s great and easy to understand!
Best Wishes,
Boonpa

Boonpa

Welcome Boonpa :) Thanks

Adam

Hi Adm,

I request a lesson about:
Quit few
Quite long
Quite a bit
Quit many

I would like to learn via your lessons please in your convinant time.
Thanks I appreciate your help.

Umghadeer

Hi Umghadeer,

I’ll get on that, but in the meantime, all the examples you gave need the word quite.

Quit means to give up, surrender, or to leave one’s job.

Adam

Thanks, Adam. it’s not easy for me but your lessons are very helpful ! Thanks.

Rozenn

Hi Adam and thanks for your answer to my early request.
Actually I’ve lessened to about 70 percent of 7 great teachers here including you.
And I agree with you that there are a lot of vocabulary lessons here. But what I ment was I wish vocabulary lessons were more than IELTS Lessons.
Anyway I always appreciate what you and other great teachers do here.
I wish you all the best. God bless you all.

Mohsen Barati

Hi, Adam!!! Thank you very much for Phrasal Verb explanation. You do it perfectly for comprehension. Please make a video lesson about Phrasal Verb: COME and CARRY. Thank you in advance.

KatrinDenev83

Will do Katrin :) Thanks

Adam

Hi Adam! thank you for you useful lesson! You’ve got no idea of how much you’ve taught me.

I am studying English at a Colombian university but you really kick my teachers’ asses. (Sorry if that sounds rough).
Just thanks a lot. I’m your fan.

Davidluis95

lol. Thanks David :)

Adam

Hello, Adam!

Thanks for your great lessons. They are very useful!

Could you also prepare the lesson about questions with phrasal verbs and explain when prepositions go to the end of sentence?

Thanks in advance!

How should I say: I will pass this information on to them OR Iwill pass on this information to them?thank you in advance!

OlgaZhuvak

Hi,Adam!!

Thank you for the lesson. Currently, I’m studying English and I find really difficult to learn the phrasal verbs. I’m trying to remember a few of them at least, although I hope that I’ll know a lots of them
I like the way you learn and make explanations; they are quite clear.
Also I like your pronunciation …Could I ask you something? I would like to know if your pronunciation is the common Canadian one or not. (Really I thought that you were British when I listened you for the first time. But I read in your profile you’re living in Toronto). Sorry, I don’t pretend to be impolite, it’s just a curiosity ;) ;)

I would like to make you one suggestion. There are A LOT OF phrasal verbs and it’s very hard for a non native English speaker to remember all of them, even more difficult for students. Could you tell us what are the most important or common? I mean you could emphasise in your lessons the most used phrasal verbs; in this way we could try to learn the most important ones at the begining. In my opinión it could be useful for us.

Well, thanks a lot!!! (and I’m sorry for my writing, but I have tried my best)

Regards from the Canary Islands :)

LorenaGondar

I got 100%!!! Thanks!!

anter athmani

\\thanks Adam for these lesson! Very good!

jbastos88

Phrasal verbs are certainly the ultimate thing to master, and I find it really difficult as well as many others. One simple verb + so many prepositions that change the meaning from the root as if we are learning a new word each time the different preposition is used, and to make it even worse, it can have several meanings with the same preposition.

vladandevla

The phrasal verb always is difficult for me, but at the same time they are very important to learn, I try, thanks.

Maliban

Thanks Adam.

sharyor

WoW I got 80% on the Quiz :)
Thank you teacher, I learn so much with your lessons.

SyllasKD3

A very good lesson.

JulianS13

hello,teacher:)

i still don’t understand wha’t the difference between ‘pass out’ and ‘ pass around ???? you said candies CAN PASS OUT OR PASS AROUD
these two phrases are same or different?

Oliviaguitar

Oliviaguitar,
Pass out = faint, black out.
Pass away= die,die out.
Pass around = is pass one thing to other people:
“The photos were passed around for all the students
take a look at them.’
” A tray with delicious sandwiches was passed around’.
Okay? Hope this helps.

zigmund

Hi techer, great lesson. According to your class is there any differences in the order of the subject? i.e. Pass the opportunity up or pass up the oportunity. Both are corrects? and same question for all others phrasal. Thanks for your atention. Regards from Colombia.

Braziliansniper

Why cant I pass the quiz? I push the button to the next question and it doesnt seem to work at all.

Vladlen5898

hi adam
i`ve also heard hand-me-down instead of pass-me-down
which one is more common?

merad

Thank you Adam:
I need studied more, it is hard to me to remember all the phrasal of verbs.

aarrapaty

I hear the mp3-version of your classes while driving (usually two or three times on [on/in, I’m not sure] long trips) and when I come back home I watch the video again. It’s a great way of learning and you’re an amazing teacher.

SalvadorChaconR

I’ve watched the video twice to catch and remember the meaning of all “pass” phrasal verbs. Great video! Thanks, Adam!

kate.fast

70%. I am frustrated and disappointed! Need to pass over this lesson again:((

Great lesson. Thank you very much!

You are awesome Adam, a great teacher!

Anieszka F

10 out of 10, olé!

ramoncarrasco

Hi, lesson is great, you’re amazing teacher. May I ask you one question which worry me? What differents do phrasal verbs pass by and pass through exist? Both mean “stay for very short time”.

Jenshen

Excellent lesson. Thank you Adam. I got 9 out of 10… I didn’t catch “pass on” meaning. I am a little bit confused. May it be similar to pass out (distribute)?

Juan Carlos Zapata Garcia

absolutely excellent lesson. thank you very much Adam.
i still did not get the meaning of “pass around”

karaama

It means to “move from person to person”. Say, I have chocolate coins and pass it around to my classmates. Hopefully it’s helpful.

A. N. Woof

Pretty helpful and a bit confusing. I got a 90.

A. N. Woof

I’ve got full marks 100%, it’s my first time got a great score on this lesson. Thank you, Mr. David

RIA ARDILA

By taking notes when I watched the video, I could get 10 out of 10. If I didn’t take notes, phrasal verbs are always confusing and I would get less than 50% of the quiz. To recap, I copied the explanations below:
“Pass around” means “keep moving” or “move from person to person”.
