hi I'm Michelle welcome back to learn
English with be Global today we are
going to take a look at the phrasal
verbs that are used with the verbs get
and go I know that learning phrasal
verbs can be very confusing for some
people but I want you to get used to
learning them as if they're new
vocabulary and today we're going to
learn which prepositions go together
with get and go so that you can increase
your knowledge of the use of phrasal
verbs first let's take a look at a few
prepositions that when placed together
with the verb get make up a phrasal verb
that is used in everyday
conversation now let's take a closer
look at a few phrasal verbs that are
using the verb
get we'll start with get away to get
away is to go on holiday or to escape
for example I am looking forward to my
Hawaiian getaway this Christmas or I
really need to get away for a
while where would you like to go on your
getaway it can also mean to escape from
someone or something for example the
bank robbers were able to get away from
the police who were chasing
them okay the next one we're going to
take a look at is to get across to get
across is be able to explain a meaning
when maybe the information is quite
difficult but perhaps I break it down in
a method or means that you can
understand
that's what I'm hoping to do today I
hope that I can get across to you the
meaning of these phrasal
verbs to get by to get by means to be
able to
survive with what you have despite your
circumstances for example perhaps I'm
running short on money for the month but
if I'm able to get by that means that I
can still pay my bills
and manage to get through the month with
what little money I
have I was running short on cash this
month but I still managed to get by and
pay my bills to get by can also mean uh
when you want to you know pass um by
someone or through someone or something
uh for example excuse me sir may I get
by you
so we can use this phrase for uh meaning
to pass through or to move past someone
or
something get off get off has a few
different meanings as well one of them
is to get down from a plane or a train
or a bus or maybe a carnival ride oh I'm
so scared I'm ready to get off of this
thing or going to get off at the next
bus
stop okay to get off can also mean for
someone to um to go without punishment
for a
crime uh perhaps there wasn't enough
evidence to hold the criminal so he was
able to get off of the charges or I got
off scottf free which means I got off
without having to pay the
penalty sometimes we also use the
expression for when someone is
leaving you are you going what time are
you going to get off
are he's getting off at
3:00 getting off from work um so if we
have permission to leave work or the
time that we are supposed to finish work
we call this getting off
time so perhaps I'm working next
Saturday but I need the day off so I
might ask my boss if I can get off early
or can I get off for the entire
day I also might ask someone what time
do you get off would you like to meet up
for
supper to get along to get along means
to have a friendly communication have
friendly communication or a friendly
relationship with someone if you're able
to get along with that person
that means you get on well you're able
to talk and communicate without arguing
or disliking them so the opposite of
getting along is to not get along so I
could say I get along with most of my
colleagues but I don't get along with
Tina very well her and I buttheads to
buttthe heads means to disagree a
lot get over
to get over something means to
overcome um you can get over a cold
illness um emotional uh situations
traumas uh for example um I got over my
cold last
week um Susan and Thomas got a divorce
and Susan is having a hard time getting
over the situation
or he got over the death of his wife
after about a year of mourning so to get
over is to overcome the situation and
sometimes we might tell someone get over
this please if you're having an argument
with someone and you just want them to
relax forget about the situation and
move on you might say to them you need
to get over it that means you need to
just forget about it carry on move on
let's stop arguing and get
along okay now to the next part let's
take a look at some phrasal verbs using
the word
go now that you've learned a few phrasal
verbs that go together with the verb get
let's move on to a few phrasal verbs
that go together with the verb
go let's start with go ahead because I
want to go ahead with the lesson and
continue teaching you about phrasal
verbs using the verb go to go ahead
means to continue to
proceed so for example I might say
please go ahead with a meeting if I
don't arrive on time that means I want
you to continue to start without me to
proceed with your
plans um go ahead if I'm somebody is
walking uh by me and I want to Stomp and
let them pass I can say go ahead please
after
you so you've heard the
expression go ahead make my day
that means proceed with what you're
doing continue with what you're
doing go
ahead so let's go ahead to the next
phrasal verb shall

want someone or something to
leave oh this headache won't go

can also use that expression
for personally I I want to go away means
that I want to leave where I presently
am and to go somewhere else it's like a
getaway but to go away for the weekend

weekend past

be used for a few different things um we
can say past tense went out uh the

disprove that that works but I will go
along with you meaning that I will agree
with you for whatever plan that you have
made and agree to try what you have
