Hi, Everyone!

I\'m Georgiana, founder of SpeakEnglishPodcast.com. My mission is to help YOU speak English fluently.

\\xa0In this episode:\\xa0

  • We\\u2019ll be discussing some more about some of the most common phrasal verbs. Today, we\\u2019ll take a look at more useful and interesting phrasal verbs.
  • After that, I\\u2019ll share with you a short Point of View lesson, to help you with grammar and to review the vocabulary you\\u2019ll be learning.

Ok! Very good! Let\\u2019s get started!

Remember, a phrasal verb is just a verb and a particle. For example, \\u201clook out.\\u201d I recommend you to check out the previous episodes about phrasal verbs.

In these series of phrasal verbs, we see the most common phrasal verbs. Also, instead of learning all the different meanings of every phrasal verb, you just need to learn one or two of the most common meanings.\\xa0

Ok, let\\u2019s get started!

\\xa0

Put off

Ah, this is one of my favorite ones. Sometimes, I\\u2019m guilty of using it too much. It means to procrastinate. In other words, it means to decide to do something not now, but in the future. For example:

I need to put off the meeting. I am not prepared.
They decided to put off the trip because it was raining.

I always put off things I don\\u2019t like doing.

Put up with\\xa0

Sometimes, there are situations we don\\u2019t like, but we have to accept them, we have to put up with them. Or, we can say that we don\\u2019t want to tolerate a certain situation, we don\\u2019t want to put up with that situation. For example:

Yes, he\\u2019s sometimes rude, but you have to put up with him because he\\u2019s your boss.

I don\\u2019t have to put up with your bad behavior.

I don\\u2019t want to put up with smoking at work anymore.
