🗣️Phrasal Verb Friday! ➡️ Factor in, flesh out, fall through 🙂👇

I made a video for beginner and low-intermediate English learners. It includes 30 common English questions, and it encourages you to answer them. If that sounds interesting to you, the link is in the comments. 🙂 Thanks for learning with me.

Phrasal Verbs Practice: What are they doing?

USE THE PHRASAL VERBS AT THE BOTTOM TO HELP YOU.

Example:

Phrasal Verb Friday: PUT OFF

They had to put off their wedding until the Fall.
Can we put this meeting off to the afternoon?
I've been putting off grading some English tests since Tuesday.

To PUT OFF means to postpone something. You can put off something for a good reason ("I had to put off the meeting because of an emergency") or because you don't want to do it ("Why do you keep putting off doing the dishes? Just do them and move on with your day.")

Also, it's true. I've been putting off grading some English tests since Tuesday. 😅 I just haven't felt like doing it. I'm finally going to grade the tests this afternoon.

Is there anything YOU have been putting off because you haven't felt like doing it? 👀

Finish the sentence:
I've been putting off...(verb+ing if you want to mention an activity.)

Have a good day!

Informal English: catch, grab, hit... 👀👇

Preposition + Gerund (verb+ing)

An important English grammar reminder. 🙂👇

"Can I use 'some' in questions?"

Yes! Typically, you use 'some' when you make offers and when you ask for things. For example:

OFFERS
"Would you like some tea?"
"Do you want some more?"

ASKING FOR THINGS
"Can I have some chocolate?"
"May I have some more time?"

Write your own examples in the comments. Keep learning. Keep practicing. 🙂👍

Hello! I won't be posting on FB as much as usual for the next couple of months. My work schedule is busier, and I have a lot on my plate in general. Don't worry! You'll still see posts from me, especially when I have a new EngVid lesson, but I won't be as active as I usually am.

Whether you have been following me for a month, a year, or a decade, thank you for learning with me and supporting my work. Wherever you are, I hope you're doing well, and if you're not, I hope things get better for you soon. Take care. ❤
