Adam you are great!! Thank you for everything???

Dionysia

Hi Adam, thanks for this lesson. I have a question, I watched your video about the phrasal verb “fall” and after this one. I don’t understand what’s the difference between fall apart and come apart ?

U’re doing a great job ! Thanks

Doungles

Hi Doungles,

We usually use fall part about people who lose control of themselves. Come apart means break. In some cases they can mean the same thing, i.e., break, though fall apart is by itself, while come apart needs someone or something to do it.

Does this help?

Adam

Nice and useful lesson! There is another phrasal verb with “Come” and is “Come along”. That’s means when you you have a good/bad friendship with someone; it also means progress and accompany someone. Thank you, Adam!

Ae97bc

Good points Ae97bc ;)

Adam

Adam, would you, please, explain me one of the meanings of “come up”? Sometimes, for instance, in Oprah’s TV-shows, you can see titles: “come up” between different episodes of the interview. What does it mean? Thank you!

Natalochka71

I think in this case means “next” (in sequence). Right Adam?

Bergvolk

Yes, indeed, Bergvolk ;)

Adam

Natalochka71 I’ve listened her. She says: “Common up!”. Means: ” Come(out) to us!”.

KATRIN777

Sometimes you can hear: “Common down!”. It depends on the location of the one who says that (upper or lower). But in some cases it is just a custom. For instance: “Downtown” means in the center of town.

KATRIN777

“Coming up” means “The next on this channel”.

KATRIN777

Thanks! Very interesting indeed.

Natalochka71

also, come on down

Adam

Actually, it’s “come on up” Katrin :)

Adam

Thanks Adam!

KATRIN777

I was reading with my eye closed. Sorry!

KATRIN777

Hi Natalochka,

As Bergvolk wrote, it means “next”, i.e., coming after the break.

Adam

Thanks a lot, Adam!

Natalochka71

Luke and Lando? Nerd alert showing up, eh?
Thank you for this class.
Phrasal verbs are really tough for us, we didn’t learn at school. However, I try to pay attention at the dialogues in the series and movies.

Bergvolk

Wonderful lesson Adam. Thanks a lot

Garima Mamtani

Adam

These phrasal verbs are very useful.Thank you.

nidhi@30

Hello Adam! Need your help as usual:) Please, explain to me how to use these two similar (in my opinion) words ‘illusion and ‘delusion’. Are these two synonyms?

AlexanderR134

Hi Alexander,

They’re similar. Illusion looks real (to anyone who sees it). Delusion is when the mind is playing tricks on you and you actually believe something that everyone else can see is not true.

Certain lighting can create illusions from certain angles. A mean person who thinks everyone loves and respects him is delusional.
Does this help?

Adam

thank you so much but
I’m bad at hearing because the Americans are talking fast . helped me

BTS ARMY

Hi BTS,

It’s just a matter of practice. keep listening and you will improve.

Adam

Adam

Vitor-Br

Hi, Adam! I’ve heard “come along” in a song. I guess it was “Come Along Now” by Despina Vandi))) What does it mean? THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Oleg Kosyak

Hi Oleg,

Generally, it means come with me/us, join me/us. Does this fit the context?

Adam

Hi, Adam! I’ve heard also in a song “come along with me” so it seems like “along” can be just dropped, right?

Ilya 73

I got a perfect score! Thank you so much for your wonderful lessons! I learned a lot!

Antonette

Adam

Adam I took IELTS on 17th Oct,2017 n got 7.5 overall band score.I took IELTS again on 7th April,2018 n result awaited.
I m bit worried about task 2 n need help regarding the same.

Tamanna popli

Topic was in many societies, more n more people r choosing to live life on their own .
Give reasons n is it a positive or negative trend give ur opinion
I wrote about growing trend of nuclear family set-up .
Did I understand the task ??

Tamanna popli

Um, well, Tamanna, it seems you went the opposite way. They are saying the trend is moving away from the nuclear family setup toward a more individual and isolated one. Is this movement positive or negative (is it good or bad that more people are living alone)?

Adam

I got 90 / 100

lerz80

Good lesson, Adan. Thank you for teaching!

Luiz Willian

Adam

Hi Mr.Adam thanks for this useful lesson .

WAQAX JATT

thanks a lot, Adam

Aynour

10 out of 10 lol.Thank you!But in this video I noted one sentence:”I live just over down the street,come around sometime.”I don’t quite understand why you put “over” and “down”together. I know this basic meaning is “I live in the street”,but I don’t know the specific direction.Maybe it’s a dynamic process,two prepositions,over means from one place to another place,down means to a lower place,and over+down means from one place to a lower place?And “I live just over down the street”means the horizon of the house I live is higher than where I am speaking now? Please help me understand,Thanks.

Patrick Fan

Please Adam sir make video of articles and noun

Jasmendra

betakiyama

am.hashi

Thank you, Adam! It’s really useful for me.

Alexx Rey

Hello, Adam. Listening to You was a pleasure. indeed, that was so clearly explained. Yet, i still have a question, probably more refering to the whole theme.
Don’t You think that a phrasal verb is a combination of a verb and an adverb?

AdamPshunetlev

thanks

na80

Thank you Adam. I like how you give examples of each phrases, like that we can understand much better. Could you please teach me how I can use the phrase “that Means”, when is plural and when I can use it when is singular? Thank you again, I really appreciate it

Sonia Seagal

Hi Adam! I highly appreciate your lesson about phrasal verb with verb “come”. It was clear for me. Thank you very much. You the best ?? Keep it up!

Danigo-Amigo

Thanks for this lesson! What about the word come off? Does it have a meaning like break too? For example a door handle has come off (like detached from the door) Or it’s wrong?

ekaterinaluneva

Hello my dear teacher! I am glad that I came across this useful lesson. This lesson might come in handy at some time in the future.
Thanks for your superb lesson!

Mehdi 2022

Hi Adam and everybody. Please tell me what does it mean when v-ing is used inside the phrasal verb meaning movement:
You let the winds come tearing apart(song).
She came running across the field.
My dog always comes bounding out of the car.

John Travolta

It is very good but please try to write more example to clear the meaning
