About this episode

Phrasal verbs are very common in everyday spoken English - and many students ask me about the definitions of phrasal verbs they've heard in conversations, TV shows, or movies.

Today I'm going to explain five phrasal verbs that you might not know yet: square away, step up, space out, blow over, and swear off.

If you come across (encounter) a phrasal verb that you can't understand, please e-mail me and I'll explain it in a future lesson.

Do you want to see how native English speakers use phrasal verbs in conversation? Take my Phrasal Verbs in Conversation Course!

The course will help you learn more than 500 common phrasal verbs in English. You can see how the phrasal verbs are used AND practice them with the exercises included in each lesson.

You can try a free sample here, and sign up for the course here.
