Thank you so much once again, Teacher Vicki. This is a very precious lesson to me. I now understand them.
Yeah, I like those words, 'out and about' as well as your expression. ^_^ So relax without feeling guilty. lol... I may use it in my writing next time. :D
Will see the video you suggested
Hello everyone. So glad you liked the video.
Great question Onee-chan. Pick up is what we call a separable phrasal verb and there are particular rules we follow. So you can say I picked the dry cleaning up or I picked up the dry cleaning up. But if we use the pronoun and say 'it' it has to be I picked it up. (You can't say I picked up it - that would be wrong. We've made another video about it that you might like. You can see it here: https://www.simpleenglishvideos.com/common-separable-phrasal-verbs/
When I said 'out and about' it was a very non-specific answer. It meant I had been travelling round, but I didn't say exactly where. It can also mean 'doing what you normally do'. So if someone has been sick but they're getting better, they might say 'I hope to be out and about soon'.
Roman - yes touch down is an American football term too, and it can be a verb and a noun.
Hahhahh..., Teacher Vicki.
I like the story. Yes, there should be such story to learn those phrasal verbs. :D Poor Mr.Jay! You both and friend are awesome.
By the way, I got confused with this phrasal verb. You wrote 'to pick (something) up', but the example is 'I picked up the dry cleaning on my way home'. 'Something' is after the preposition 'up'. Mr.Jay also said '...pick up an important customer...'.
Then, when should we use 'pick up (someone/sth)' or 'pick (someone/sth) up'?
I like when you said, 'Out and about'. :D Would you like to tell us more about this expression, Teacher Vicki? :)
Wow! 14 phrasal verbs noted. :D
Thank you so much for sharing this useful video and waiting for your enlightenment. ^_^
Hahahahah :D
What a funny way of learning!
Thank you very much for sharing, Vicki!
Well, I knew some of those phrasal verbs before, but about touch down, I thought, that phrasal verb is useful only in American Football :D Or maybe there it is rather a noun, than a phrasal verb...
Poor Jay! I hope he will not get fired this time... The verb 'to collect' sounds weird if we use it to refer to people yet I often hear it in TV series. Thank you for this very useful video!
