[Music]
hello I’m Emma from English in this
lesson you’ll learn ten phrasal verbs
using the verb come now
phrasal verbs are groups of words in
English made up of a verb and either one
or two particles now a particle can
either be a preposition like on or an
adverb like together to learn more about
phrasal verbs make sure you watch this
video here because here I share my top
tips for learning phrasal verbs but I’ll
also link to it at the end of this
lesson so you can keep watching
now phrasal verbs are a challenge for
you aren’t they they’re hard for English
learners often one phrasal verb has more
than one meaning they can often be
idiomatic so the meaning isn’t obvious
from the words and not every phrasal
verb follows the same rules some are
transitive some are intransitive
separable or inseparable or both but
ignoring phrasal verbs is not an option
for you because they are so common they
come up all the time in conversation
you’ll hear me use them all the time in
my lessons actually make sure you go and
have a look at the transcript for this
lesson on my blog to see just how many
phrasal verbs I have used during this

possible meanings for these phrasal
verbs but the meanings I’m going to
