English with Alex · engVid English Classes | 10 PHRASAL VERBS with “UP”: set up, pick up, catch up, bring up... @engvidAlex | Uploaded February 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Once you reach an upper intermediate or advanced level of English proficiency, you notice that phrasal verbs are everywhere. You can’t hear an English conversation without someone using a phrase like “set up” or “pick up.” These types of phrases are essential for fluent and proficient English conversation. In this lesson, I look at 10 phrasal verbs which use the word “up.” In addition to “set up” and “pick up,” the list includes: free up, put up, bring up, catch up, fill up, get up, grow up, and make up. The purpose of this English vocabulary lesson is to help you practice phrasal verbs in real contexts, so you can increase your speaking confidence and your English vocabulary bank. Make sure you pause the video and repeat the sentences as you watch. Write your own examples in the comments.
