About this episode

English phrasal verbs make English so much harder than it has to be, but luckily we have YouTube to help us. I explain some very common, and mostly straightforward phrasal verbs. Phrasal verbs like hold up or wait up, which can mean to ask someone to stop or get clarification on what they said. And I also sneak in a couple phrasal verbs like sneak in, which I didn't expect to explain, but I hope you find this English lesson very helpful.
