How This Grammar Works

Phrasal verbs are a core component of natural, everyday English, especially when describing actions and states in daily life. They combine a verb with a particle (a preposition or adverb) to create a new meaning that is often different from the original verb alone. For example, the verb take means to grasp, but when combined with off as in take off, it can mean to remove clothing, or for a plane to depart.
Similarly, run is a physical action, but run into means to meet someone by chance, and run out of signifies a lack of supply.
Many phrasal verbs are about human interactions and emotions. To describe a positive relationship, we often say people get along with each other. When you need to recover from an illness or emotional difficulty, you get over it.
These verbs help you express nuances that single words often can't. Think about planning: you might carry out instructions or a plan, showing completion and adherence. In social situations, if you're behind on information or tasks, you might need to catch up.
A crucial aspect of some phrasal verbs, especially those with an object, is their separability. For instance, with pick up, you can say "I'll pick up the book or I'll pick the book up.
However, if the object is a pronoun, it *must* go in the middle:
I'll pick it up, never I'll pick up it. This sandwich rule
applies to many separable phrasal verbs. Another important one is turn down, which can mean to lower volume (
Turn down the music
) or to reject an offer (
She turned down the job offer").
Phrasal verbs allow for a more dynamic and less formal expression, making your B1 English sound more authentic.

Common Mistakes

  1. 1Mistake with pronoun placement for separable phrasal verbs.
✗ I need to pick up them from school.
✓ I need to pick them up from school.
Explanation: When the object of a separable phrasal verb is a pronoun (like *them*, *it*, *him*, *her*, *us*, *you*), the pronoun *always* goes between the verb and the particle.
  1. 1Confusing 'get along' with 'get together'.
✗ My new colleagues get along with coffee next week.
✓ My new colleagues get along well, and we'll get together for coffee next week.
Explanation: Get along means to have a good relationship. Get together means to meet up socially.
  1. 1Incorrectly using 'run out' without 'of'.
✗ We ran out milk, so I went to the store.
✓ We ran out of milk, so I went to the store.
Explanation: When indicating a depletion of supplies, the phrasal verb is run out of something.

Quick FAQ

Q

Why are daily life phrasal verbs so important for B1 English grammar?

Phrasal verbs are crucial because they're extremely common in everyday conversations. Understanding and using them helps you comprehend native speakers better and express yourself more naturally and less formally.

Q

Can I use pick up for both people and objects?

Yes! You can pick up a friend from the airport, and you can pick up a book from the floor. Remember the pronoun rule:

pick him up
but
pick up the book
or
pick it up.

Q

What's the difference between meet and

run into
someone?

Meet can be planned ("Let's meet for coffee) or unplanned. Run into" specifically means to meet someone unexpectedly or by chance. It always implies a surprise encounter.

Q

Is

break down
always negative?

Not always. While it often refers to machinery failing or someone having an emotional collapse, it can also mean to simplify or explain something complex in smaller, easier steps, like

break down a complex idea.

Cultural Context

Native English speakers use these daily life phrasal verbs constantly. They are a cornerstone of informal, everyday communication, making conversations flow more naturally and efficiently. While there are some regional variations, the core meanings of verbs like get along, take off, run into, and pick up are widely understood across English-speaking countries.
They tend to be less formal than their single-word synonyms (e.g., reject vs.
turn down
), making them perfectly suited for the relaxed nature of most daily interactions. Integrating them makes your speech sound much more like a native speaker's.

ヒントとコツ (4)

💡

代名詞を置く場所のルール

「take off」が「取り除く」という意味で使われる時、代名詞(it, them, him, her)は必ず「take」と「off」の間に入れます。「take + 代名詞 + off」と考えるのがポイントです。 "Always place pronouns (it, them, him, her) between take and off when take off means 'to remove'. Think of it as take + pronoun + off."
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: 句動詞: Take off (脱ぐ・出発する)
💡

「well」で明確にしよう

「get along」の後に「well」を付け加える(例: get along well)と、良好な関係であることがとても明確になります。そうしないと、文脈によっては中立的、あるいは少し難しい関係に聞こえることもありますよ。 "Adding well after get along (e.g., get along well) makes it super clear you mean a positive relationship. Otherwise, it can sometimes sound neutral or imply mild difficulty if context isn't strong."
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: 仲良くする (句動詞: Get along/on)
💡

文脈に耳を傾けましょう

句動詞には複数の意味があるので、いつも周りの言葉に注意を払いましょう。文脈が、「ran into」が偶然の出会いなのか、車の衝突なのかを教えてくれますよ! 「The context will tell you if 'ran into' means a friendly meeting or a car crash!」
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: 句動詞:Run (Into, Out of, Away)
💡

「over」は「過去」だと考えよう

困難なことがもう「後ろにある」と想像してみてください。「Get over」は、まるでゴールラインを越えて、挑戦を過去のものとし、前へ進んでいるような感覚です。
Imagine the difficulty is behind you.
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: 句動詞: Get over (回復する & 乗り越える)

よくある質問 (6)

主な意味は二つあります。一つは「靴を脱ぐ」のように、何か(特に衣服やアクセサリー)を「取り除く」こと。もう一つは「飛行機が出発する」のように、乗り物(主に飛行機)が出発したり、急いで場所を離れることです。 "The two primary meanings are 'to remove' something, often clothing or accessories, like take off your shoes, and 'to depart', typically for vehicles like planes or when you're leaving quickly, as in the plane took off."
いいえ、意味によって変わります!物を「取り除く」時(例:take your hat off)は分離可能です。しかし、「出発する」や「成功する」という意味の場合は分離できません。例えば、the show took off のように使います。 "No, it depends on the meaning! When you're removing an object (e.g., take your hat off), it's separable. But when it means 'to depart' or 'become successful', it's inseparable, so you'd say the show took off."
「Get along」は、誰かと友好的で調和のとれた関係を築く、という意味ですよ。人々の交流がどれくらい「うまくいくか」を表します。例えば、「同僚と私はget along greatです。」のように使いますね。
はい、もちろんです!「Get on」も同じく良好な関係を意味し、特にイギリス英語では非常によく使われますよ。例えば、「家族とはget onしていますか?」といった感じです。
「run into」は通常、偶然誰かや何かに遭遇すること、または何かに衝突することを意味します。予期せぬ出会いや、ぶつかることをイメージしてください。「Run into generally means to encounter someone or something by chance, or to collide with something.」
「run out of」は、何かをすべて使い果たして、もう何も残っていない時に使います。例えば、「I ran out of milk」は、冷蔵庫に牛乳が全くないという意味です。「I ran out of milk means your fridge is empty of milk.」
