english with lucy today i’m going to
talk to you about all the phrasal verbs
that go with turn so this video is going
to be excellent for improving your
vocabulary which in turn will help you
with your listening and your speaking
however if you want to take your
listening and your pronunciation to the
next level I highly recommend listening
to audiobooks and in my opinion the best
platform for downloading audiobooks is
audible if you want to improve your
pronunciation choose a British narrator
for example Stephen Fry reading Harry
Potter and read the physical book as
you’re listening to the audiobook that
is the perfect way to improve your
listening and your pronunciation I can

the phrasal verb lesson so the first one
pretty easy we have to turn on and this
means to start a device by switching it
on that’s a synonym for example can you
turn off the lights when you leave
please also note that to turn on a
person means to excite them emotionally
[Music]
sure if you are interested in that then
you can google it to yourself I’m not
talking about it here then we have
number two to turn off this means to
stop a device by switching it off for
example turn off the TV and listen to me
and it can also mean to really not
excite somebody emotionally or
physically now certainly more difficult
to turn out to turn out means to result
or to end up for example oh I thought my
homework was gonna turn out better than
this I thought my homework was going to
end up better than this number four
pretty simple to turn around
I almost fell over to turn around means
to rotate to physically rotate something
for example turn around you’ve left the
label in your jacket a situation can
also turn around you can also turn back
and this is to return to a previous
state of being for example once you move
out there’s no turning back you cannot
return to living with me once you move
out you can’t turn back we also have to
turn against and to turn against means
to oppose often suddenly to someone who
was your friend might turn against you
and become your enemy for example we
were great friends and then she turned
against me and started gossiping about
me then we have to turn in and this
means to submit something or to give
something for example I want you all to
turn in your homework on Monday morning
next we have to turn down and this means
to refuse decline or reject something
for example I asked him out but he
turned me down he rejected me we also
have to turn into and this means to
transform into something for example she
clicked her fingers and he turned into a
frog finally we have to turn up and this
means to appear suddenly or to attend an
event for example oh look who just
turned up and this means oh look who
just appeared oh look who is attending
the event right that’s it for today’s
