“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. To learn even more phrasal verbs, pick up a digital or physical copy of my book, 100 Practical English Phrasal Verbs.
