hi I'm Michelle welcome to learn English
with be Global in today's lesson we're
going to take a look at phrasal verbs
that are using the preposition up so
come on take a look with me and let's
learn a few new phrasal verbs today
hi the first thing that we're going to
take a look at today is using the
preposition up together with some verbs
that are going to create new phrasal
verbs that are expressions that we're
going to use to convey meaning about
something in particular right now we're
going to take a look at up when it's
used to express of movement upwards so
all of the Expressions that I'm about to
share with you have to do with some sort
of upward movement okay the first one
we're going to take a look at is to get
up to get up means to actually wake up
and to rise out of bed I got up at 6
o'clock this morning what about you what
time are you planning to get up tomorrow
morning okay to stand up is the next one
to stand up stand up means to physically
make a motion to R rise out of perhaps a
chair or somewhere if you're sitting
down on the floor anytime that you're in
a sitting position if you rise up to a
standing position you are standing up
can everyone please stand
up okay to look up to look up simply can
mean to raise your eyes to look towards
something in the sky or it also can mean
to have some respect for someone for
example I look up to my
parents to jump up to jump up is
slightly different than standing up
because standing up is a very controlled
action whereas jumping up is very quick
where you spring from the position you
are onto your feet perhaps because
you're startled or you're in a hurry to
jump up the next one is to put up one's
hand to put up one's hand is to raise
your hand up you might have heard the
song put your hands up put your hands up
so to put up your hand means to raise
it to be up to be up means to be
awake so what time were you up this
morning what time are you going to be up
I will be up at 5 o'
to go up to go up means to rise from one
place to another um to a higher level so
you can go up a level on the computer
game you can go up in position of
authority maybe uh better position at
your office you can go up the stairs you
can go up to the top of the mountain so
to R from one position to the other is
to go up to climb up climb up definitely
has to do with stairs or a mountain or
anything that takes the movement we can
interchange go up and climb up for
example I'm going to go up the mountain
tomorrow but it would make more sense to
say climb up because we are using a
climing motion to get from one place to
the other
to sit up to sit up means to physically
move from a laying down flat position
and rising to a sitting position that's
why we also have the exercise it's
called sit-ups to do sit-ups so to sit
up is to come from a lying down flat
position to a sitting
position to throw something up to throw
something up could be like throwing a
ball from this position to up higher it
also does have to do with someone
sometimes who has a stomach ache and
they vomit we also use this expression
to throw up or to throw something
up okay thank you that's the um phrasal
verbs that have to do with a movement
upwards we're going to move on to a few
different phrasal verbs using up let's
take a look with me now
okay moving right along now we're going
to take a look at when up is used as a
movement towards a place where something
is for example the taxi drove up the
taxi drove up to us and asked if we
wanted to ride somewhere that means he
approached us he came near to us he
drove up to us
to move up north to move up north let us
know that you are residing somewhere in
the South for example I moved up north
many years ago I was living in the state
of Louisiana and I moved to the state of
New York so I moved up
north to go straight up to the
door that simply means to go Direct
directly to something in this case a
door we have can use the Expression also
to mean that someone approached us
directly for example she came straight
up to me and said hello that means that
person walked right
up came directly to me and said
hello to go up to New York to go up to
something or some place um we use this
expression when we're visiting somewhere
that means I'm going to New York but
more than likely it's letting you know
that I live somewhere south of New York
because if I was traveling to another
city that is south of me I would say I'm
going down
to for example I'm if I lived in New
York I might say I'm going down to
Florida tomorrow but if I lived in
Florida and I was going to New York I
would say I'm going up to New York next
week
okay let's take a look at the next
section shall
we up can also be used to mean a rise or
an increasing
intensity for example the prices are
going
up gas has really gone up in the past
couple of years prices are going up all
over the world that means that prices
are increasing they're getting higher
they're costing more
money sales are up this year sales are
up this phrase means that sales are much
better this year than they were last
year the sales are
up please turn up the volume can you
increase the volume can you turn it l
louder so that I can hear turn it
up can you please speak up to speak up
means to talk a little bit
louder or to be a little bit
quieter to speak
up so if you can't hear someone you want
them to to ask them to please speak up a
little
bit let's take a look at a few more
okay now we're going to take a look at
when we're using up to represent
something that is totally completed
finished or
closed for example they ate all of the
food up that means they completed it
there wasn't any food left who ate up
all of the cake
hm time time is up time's up that means
there is no more time whatever time you
were given maybe to complete a test or
the time uh that you were given to
complete a
project there's no more time time's up
the work that you were doing must be
completed at this
point the stream has dried up dried up
that means that there is no more water
in the Stream the water's gone it is
dried up there used to be a stream or
there used to be a
creek but it dried up there is no more
water
left button
up button up
or zip up if it's cold outside we use
this expression especially with children
make sure you button up before you go
outside make sure you zip zip up stay
warm okay I hope that you're warm
wherever you are and make sure that you
zip up or button up let's take a look at
the last section dealing with the
preposition
up now we're just going to take a look
at some random Expressions that are
using the preposition up okay let's see
what we have to read up to to read up to
this is an expression that you will hear
especially if you're a university
student um your professor or your
teacher may ask you to read up to a
certain page for example please read up
to page
41 what that means is read from either
the first page if you haven't started
the book yet to page 41 or to wherever
you left off at whatever point or page
you left off off at read up to page 41
that means read all of the pages until
you get to page 41 and then you can
stop to pick up to pick up something can
mean to physically raise something like
pick up a chair pick up a child but it
also can mean to get someone from some
place um using uh mode of transportation
like for example I drove to to pick up
my friend from
work so I use my car to go and to get my
friend when she got off of work and give
her a ride in my vehicle you might hear
a parents say we need to pick up our
children at 3:00 that means to go and
gather them to get them to retrieve
them okay to mix up to mix up is when
you get confused about something you can
get your signals mixed up uh your can
get your directions mixed up I know
people who have a hard time uh
remembering which is North and which is
south on the freeway so sometimes they
get their directions mixed up so
anything that you have confusion about
and you get confused about we call that
a a mixup mixing up things mixed up
signals to put up with to put up with
someone or something means to deal with
whatever problems arise even though
maybe you don't like it or like someone

example um Sally puts up with her little
brother all of the time even though he's
very
annoying know that Sally has to be nice
to her little brother so she puts up
with it that means to take um whatever
difficulties come with someone or
something and just dealing with that
situation in a calm
