Word Wednesday starts right now.
Hey guys, it's Michael here from Happy English
and welcome back to Word Wednesday.
every Wednesday we're going to have a lesson
to help you learn more words
and build up your English vocabulary.
Today we're going to look at phrasal verbs
that you can use to talk about your
everyday morning routine.
We're going to start off with a little story
so that you can see these phrasal verbs in context.
Then we'll take a look at each phrasal verb,
what it means and how to use it.
Are you ready? Let's check it out!
I usually get up at 6 am,
but today I slept in and woke up at 7.
After that, that I took off my pajamas and
put on my clothes.
Then I washed up and headed to the kitchen.
I turned on the coffeemaker and started to make breakfast.
I opened the fridge and took out the eggs and the butter.
I wanted to have scrambled eggs.
I put some butter in the frying pan
and cooked the eggs.
When they were done, I put them on a plate.
I was so hungry
that I ate up everything in a few minutes.
After that ,I got up from the table and cleaned up.
I did the dishes and then put everything away.
In that story I used about
ten or eleven different phrasal verbs.
So let's check them out.
Get up means to stand and we often use get up
when we talk about what you do in the morning after your eyes open from sleeping.
When you open your eyes you wake up
and then you get up. In other words,
you stand up from the bed.
In the story, I also mentioned I got up from the table
so basically get up means to stand.
Then, I said I slept in. When you sleep longer than usual
and it's your plan
you can say sleep in.
I slept in today.
Sleep in is different from oversleep.
If you oversleep it's an accident and
you didn't wake up when you should.
But when you sleep in that's your plan
and you sleep a little bit longer.
Next let's talk about what we do with clothes
Put on and take off.
When you take some clothes and you
put them on your body we use put on.
Put on means to dress or get dressed.
In English we use put on for everything.
You can put on your shoes,
put on your jeans, put on a shirt, put on your eyeglasses
Everything!
The opposite is takeoff, so when you enter the house
maybe you take off your shoes or you take off your hat or take off your jacket.
It's a good idea to learn those two words together you put on your hat
and then you take off your hat next is wash up wash up means to wash
and clean yourself and we usually use wash up when we talk about what you do
in the morning maybe you wash your face and brush your teeth and do your hair
something like that we say wash up next I said I headed into the kitchen we use
head to mean go and this usage of head meaning go is from the old days of
sailing ships at the front of the ship they had a carving of
usually a woman like a mermaid and her head was pointing this way at the front
of the ship so the captain would say let's head north or let's head to
America means let's go north or let's go to America
so head into or head to means go into or go to that place next I said I turned on
the coffee maker turn on turn on means to start the electricity of something
you can turn on a machine or turn on some electric equipment like turn on
your computer or turn on your phone okay next up let's talk about put in and take
out when you set something somewhere we use put and we use put in when we talk
about the place that you set that thing so usually we put the milk in the
refrigerator or you put your pen in your pen case so put in means set something
in a certain place the opposite is take out when you remove something from a
place we say take out I open the refrigerator and I take out the milk I
open my pen case and take out my pen so learn those two words together pull it
in and take out next is put on you put something in a place but you put
something on a flat surface you can put your book on the table or if you fry
scrambled eggs you can put the eggs on a plate so put on means put something on a
flat surface and put in means put something in some
container or box or something like that then I said I ate up everything quickly
we often use up after some verbs to mean do that thing completely maybe when you
were a kid your parents told you clean up your room well if you eat something
up if you eat up something it means you eat that thing completely the last one
is put away put away when you put away your things you return them to their
original place after I wash the dishes I put away the dishes it means I return
them to the original place that they were okay let's check out the story one
more time to practice using these phrasal verbs in context I usually get
up at 6 a.m. but today I slept in and woke up at 7 after that I took off my
pajamas and put on my clothes then I washed up and headed to the kitchen I
turned on the coffeemaker and started to make breakfast I opened the fridge and
took out the eggs and the butter I wanted to have scrambled eggs I put some
butter in the frying pan and cook the eggs when they were done I put them on a
plate I was so hungry that I ate up everything in a few minutes
