TRANSCRIPT'
Hi again. I'm Adam. Welcome back to www.engvid.com. Today's lesson, again, everybody's favourite, phrasal verbs. We're going to look at phrasal verbs with "look". Again, what is a phrasal verb? It's a verb with a preposition combination to get usually very different meanings. Now, if you're thinking: "Oh my god. Too many of these phrasal verbs. You're doing too many of these lessons", things are starting to look up. I'm getting near the end. There's a limit to how many of these I can do, so don't worry; things are looking up. Okay.
Let's start with "up". "Look up". A few meanings. There's the literal meaning, look up. Look up at the sky; look up, see that plane flying. No problem. You can also "look up". If any of these words give you difficulty and you're not sure what I'm saying or you didn't catch what I'm saying, look them up in the dictionary or look them up online. Go to Google or go to wherever you go, the dictionary, punch in the word, and you will get the meaning of this word.
Now, what I said before: "Things are looking up." If something is starting to look up, it means it's starting to be more positive. It's starting to look better. Okay? You can be a bit happier about what's coming. So you can look up to the situation changing, or the situation is changing.
"Look up to". This is a little bit different. "Look up to" means... Because of the "to", you're getting a bit of a direction of somewhere. Right? So you're looking up to someone. If you look up to someone, means you use them as a role model. They're somebody you want to be like. Okay? So I'll put here just so you get that word. "Role model". So, usually, when you're young as a child, you look up to your parents. You think: "Oh my god. My parents are amazing. I want to be like them." When you get older, we'll leave that to you.
"Look down". Now, I'm not saying you're going to look down on your parents, but when you look down on somebody, you're putting them beneath you. Okay? You're making them a little bit inferior. The opposite of inferior - superior. Okay? But if somebody is inferior and if you look down on somebody, means you think they are less than you. They're not as good at their job, they're not as good of a baseball player or whatever sport. They're... You're a better student than they are, so you look down on them. You're thinking: "Not so good." Of course, "look down" by itself is just look down on the ground.
"Look over". Okay? Now, if there's a fence here between my house and my neighbour's house, I could look over the fence and see what's going on. But "look over" can also mean just check. Okay? So, for example, I wrote an essay, and before I hand it in to my teacher, I want to give it to my friend to look over the essay and make sure there's no mistakes, make sure I didn't say anything wrong or make any spelling mistakes. I just want him or her to check it. I want him to look it over and check it.
"Look in on". Okay? "Look in on" means just keep an eye out for somebody, or a little bit take care of somebody. Right? So, for example, I'm going away on vacation next week. I ask my neighbour to look in on my plants. All he has to come in, open the door, check they're still alive, okay. We'll talk about "look after", it's a little bit similar...
You know what? I'll talk about "look after" now. If I have a dog, I can't ask my neighbour to "look in" on my dog. I need more than that. I need my neighbour to "look after" my dog. "Look after" means take care of. Okay?
"Look through" is also a little bit similar to "look over", but a little bit more detailed. "Look through" is inspect, look for detailed things. So I want you to look through my essay, and find this or that particular thing. "Look over", very quickly skim it; look for any problems. "Look through", I want you to go in detail and find everything. Now, "look through" can also be a physical action. For example, the police, if they're trying to find a criminal, they will go... If they have a suspect, they will go to his or her house, they will look through their garbage to find any clothes. So, "look through" means inspect, look for something specific. Okay. So, "look after", take care.
"Look into". "Look into" means investigate. So there's a problem at my office, we're not... Our sales are not very high; we're losing money somewhere. I'm going to "look into" the problem. I'm going to find out what's going on. Okay? So, "look into", investigate.

Brazilian English teacher over here! Just let me tell you something: your quick and model lessons are very used by me when I’m preparing my own lessons to my students. There’s nothing like natives proper hints! Thx dude
I use to listen every English lessons several times because everytime I do it I get to understand more and better. I like your lessons very much. When my wife sees you on the videos she says "Oh I'm afraid of teacher Adam. I imagine that if I don't do well the task the teacher will get angry and say: get out of my class" and then she starts laughing. You know, she is kidding, she means you are very serious in your work, this is your style and it is great. She also study english using your videos, I help to her and other people. Thank you teacher.
You are an wonderful teacher Mr Adam. Your class is so enjoyable and easy to learn .
Congrats for your channel! What I loved in your videos is that they are going straight to the point when is very important not wasting time in these days! Thanks for teaching us! I am learning a lot with you!

Adam, you're the man! I really enjoy your lessons and your way of explanation.
Thaks a lot Adam, great lesson again!
I love your classes your explanations are so clear, thanks so much
Thank you Adam, you're a great teacher
Undeniably these are my favourite classes. They're a bit tricky to use, but I watch these videos almost all days so I can recognize them and use them properly! At least, I know I'm lots of steps away from the beginning, when I didn't know anything about grammar or I didn't know more than I know now. And I feel very happy about it! Maybe one mistake or two, but I'm pretty sure I've made a great progress so far! If I only had known about this classes before, I would already be an expert on english!
Hello Adam, I think you could make another video like this, I know there are many others phrasal verbs out there. Thank you for your videos

Adam, thanks very much for you lesson, you are brilliant, it helps me so much.
Just looking at you! 😘 you are a lovely teacher! Thanks! ❤
Thank you very much. It's really simple and useful.
In my opinion the phrasal verbs are the most difficult things to learn, because, due to my native language, I tend to give them just the literally meaning, which, in many cases, is not correct. So thank you Adam for the explanations.

Nah, they're not that hard to remember. Once you figured a dozen or two out, they're pretty much all the the same. And, of course, you have all kinds of books to look them up! And the people you could look up to. ;)))) Take care.

***** I hope so :-) but, in order to learning English, I think that the better way is practice (listening/speaking), rather than reading books or newspapers (these very difficult to me). Cheers

racingtheweb Yeah phrasal verbs is like that, with the add of a preposition after some words changes its meaning. But as well they ain't hard to catch, by the way I think they are interesting. ;)
