Hi, there! I am going on explaining some phrasal verbs! Today I will tell you the difference between OUT and AWAY. I have already explained OFF. Now, about OUT. This preposition means that some object lost its original properties in full or partially. For example:
A bulb burned out (It doesn't light).
My pants are worn out ( I can still wear them, but they don't look new).
So, when any object loses its properties, they "come OUT' of it. That is why we use the same preposition meaning that any action is directed OUT OF some volume, closed or semi-closed, or just imaginary space meaning that an object (has) left that space or going to leave it. The tenses are not on the subject now.
He went out of the room (he left it).
She looked out of the window (the window was open).
Take your hands out of the pockets (Don't keep them in).
Now, AWAY means to be/get at some distance from a particular place or person.
The sound was dying away ( The vehicle or whatever it was was moving away from us).
Go away! ( I don't want to see you).
Take it away from here ( same).
Look at these examples:
Go out and go away.
If I say, "GO OUT" I mean my student has to leave a classroom, but he can still stand behind the door listening to my lecture. But If I would say (never say it!) "Go away!" I mean I don't want to see him. In fact, we say something different in such a situation., but not at class. I hope, my explanations are clear.
And I am waiting for your VERY SHORT stories (the academic year is about to begin) with your phrasal verbs with OUT and AWAY

Dear Afro! A nice message, but GO OUT OF MY LIFE is incorrect. We never say so. We say "get out of my life" and it is very tough. If this is said seriously, the relationship is about to break up. Besides, I would never sign such a message like "Yours".
Here is your corrected message:
Dear Bred!
I just wanted to say “leave me for a while” but you took it in another way, why__? I know last night my behaviour was not good but there was a reason. And, the reason was that I had seen you with another girl, it hurt me a lot. So, I think I have to think about our relationship again. But, you swore, you would go away if you __became unable to prove your faithfulness towards me!

Dear Danny!! So pity, again use extra words! I just can't manage to write in short. I will try to avoid for using extra words.
I am so happy to have found corrections within short time.Thank you so very much for taking the effort. I greatly appreciated it.
Dear Serene! Here is your corrected story. As usual, you use too many extra words!
Felix had flu, could not sleep and __ woke up long before the sun rose. He took his blanket off his chair and laid it __on the floor. He tried to wrap up for a sleep but he failed. He wished __ “ If I could get rid of pain in my body in one swift move, ___I could go out or spend some time __ with my friends ”. But __ pain didn’t want to cooperate with him. So, he switched __to doctor’s mode immediately. Haha, his third eye stared at him in confusion and conscious mind waved off his attention impatiently, because he knew this flu would not pass away soon__ if he even took __ some medicine.
Dear Mishaikh! Here is your corrected story:
Eshal stopped abruptly. HE was with a young beautiful woman. She was kissing and hugging him profusely.
“I will go away, and you should get your mind set to marry and __ not waste your time flirting with __girls.” She__ hugged__ and kissed him once again.”
Eishal was feeling numb, her head was spinning. She grasped the gate firmly, when he turned back to kiss the woman at parting.
“He is a flirt.” Her heart became leaden. Her eyes were burning with tears.
“I do not want to see him anymore. I will leave this place and go far away from him.
She went back home, packed her stuff and left the city forever.
Dear Danny! Please take your time.
Thank you very much, but I hope you don't mind my answering tomorrow.

So he switched into doctor mode immediately.
