A huge thank you to all of you for your tremendous support of my UA-cam videos! You may also want to check out my online course at anglo-link.com. This is a guided self-study programme that will take you step by step towards written and spoken fluency.
Thank you very much! The verbal phrases lessons are so important for ESL learners because it is in this very area that we struggle a lot. They mean a lot to us and we are so grateful to you.
Mohamed Farouk Yes, you can use them interchangeably. However, I believe that in daily usage, 'act up' is more often used when talking about a person's behaviour, and 'play up' for a device.
Thank you very much for sharing these great videos!! I'm an Italian student. I passed my F.I.R.S.T. exam but I still have great difficulty with phrasal verbs! You're one of the best teachers I've had the pleasure to get in contact with. Please don't give up uploading your lessons! They help a large number of people all over the world!!
These new series of yours have been of tremendous assistance to me and my pupils alike.I'd,therefore, like to take the opportunity to convey our deepest gratitude to everyone out there.Good luck.
Hi Minoo! First of all, I have to say that you are an exellent teacher and your lessons are very useful and enhancement, and I want to thank you for all the effort that you make to share your kowledge with us. Thanks a lot... Best wishes, Brian - from Peru

you're great teacher since you being with us we never need other teacher daily i fallow your videos that getting me much better in English your all of lessons very helpfully i'm so glad to found your channel thank you very much Allah bless you
Thank you very much teacher. I'm doing my FCE on Friday and Saturday and you have been the only one who has helped me to learn the phrasal verbs. I know I won´t remember all of them but I'm quite better than some time ago :)
Hey teacher, thank you for helping, it's a great job that you have done, maybe there's a little bit mistake exactly in the exercise part ( go along ) may you check it out , thank you again
Thank you for the great lesson. I have two qeustions about phrasal verbs. 1) Relying on the rule of geround which is after preposition, we must use geround so are all phrasal verbs give the geround since they end with preposition?!!! 2)I have heard that these phrasal verbs are informal so we sould use them in speaking but not in writing. Nevertheless, i read a lot of phrasall verbs in acadimac articles. My qeustion is should i use these verbs in my acadimic papers? Thanks again!
نصور التركي You're welcome. I'm glad you've enjoyed my Phrasal Verbs series of lessons. To answer your questions: 1. Phrasal Verbs are rarely followed by another verb. Having said that, those that do, are usually followed by the gerund: end up doing, give up doing, look forward to doing 2. The general tendency is to avoid them. However, there are a few verbs that are common in academic writing such as 'carry out' and 'come across'. In your own writing, use only those that you have seen used by native speakers.
Hi teacher I have a question, in exercise part, point 8 you said "if the bus had't broke down, we'd have been..." well, why in this case we say had't broke down and not had't broken down? I think the last is the correct third conditional sentense. Thank you Minno
Excellent videos! I have a question: In the sentence, "I have to agree with you there", What does the word "there" mean? It's really confusing for me with these kind of words, although it seems that it does not affect the meaning too much. Looking forward to your reply! Thank you!
Thank you very much! Your lessons are excellent for me! I found a typing mistake in your lesson. That is the items "broke down" instead of "broken down" in Number 8, although the box has the items "broken down". Thank you once more!
Thanks by your lessons, I like them a lot. I have a question with this one, in the exercise 8, shoulden´t it be Broken Down instead of Broke Down?. Thanks again
You're welcome. If you want to download my 10 lessons on phrasal verbs including supplementary audios and pdfs, you would need to enrol on the full course which costs $15. If you're interested, let me know and I'll send you the link.
Pardon me if i am trying out to be too smart anglo?? but dont you think in your 8th example of this videos, the sentence should be like this - if the bus had not broken* down, we would have reached here by now.( focus on the word with "*" over it).. beside that i really like your videos. you made phrasal verb look so easy.
There are so many varieties of 'native' accents, that the first thing you have to do is to choose the accent you want to adopt. Then, it is a question of listening to that particular accent over a long period of time and copying its specific sound patterns.
could you please tell me more exampels of THROW OUT TO GET RID OF IT i dont get it! and i have one more question, as far as i know you are from England, i have picked up on your amazing accent, in USA will be the same phrasal verbs or a little bit different? THANK YOU THE BEST TEACHER I NOPE YOU WILL ANSWER!
+Yan Rashevsky Thank you, Yan. I'm glad you've enjoyed my lessons. Examples of 'get rid of': You should get rid of those glasses. They don't suit you. I don't need these bags. Where can I get rid of them? Phrasal verbs are the same in British and American English. As for my accent, yes, it's British. However, I'm not originally from England. I was born in Iran, but I have lived in the south-east of England for a long time.
so get rid of is like Take it of? and i have one more question))) i ve'seen many lessons of yours and i can say that i understand all what you are saying! how could you discribe my level? Thank's you are the best;) and i wonder weather you know other languages?)))
How to use these videos to master and learn correct grammar? What is the sequence or order to learn English? Like 1.Listening and Pronunciation 2.All Tenses ....and what next?...i seen you post this list some where but i can't find it know. Will you please please post the list for me please please.. And suggest me what is best way to learn TOEFL ?
To answer your first question: You can watch them in any order according to your areas of difficulty. If you don't need to focus on specific areas, the I would recommend the following order: 1. All the videos on Listening and pronunciation 2. All the lessons on Tenses starting from lesson 1 and finishing with 'All Tenses' 3. The two lessons on Word Order 4. The lessons on Questions & Negatives 5. The lessons on Modal Verbs 6. The Conversation / Dialogue lessons 7. The Vocabulary lessons (get, have, make, do) 8. Conditionals 9. Quantifiers 10. The lessons on Phrasal Verbs To answer your second question, you need to prepare for TOEFL using official TOEFL preparation material. You will find more information at www.ets.org/toefl.
Hi teacher can we use the phrasal verb "take over" to mean take someon's class or lecture..? e.g. Can you take over my tomorrow class since I'm not well
+Pavithra Dayananada In this context, you would just say: 'Can you take my class tomorrow?' However, if you were teaching the class and had to leave suddenly, you could say: Could you take over form me please?'
Why the "broke down" is used in the sentence "If the bus hadn't broke down, we'd have been here much earlier"? Wouldn't it be more correct to use "broken down" here?
After the expression 'it's time ...' if you start a new phrase, you must use the past FORM, which is the equivalent of the 'Subjunctive' in other languages.
If you search 'how to produce the English th sound' on Google or UA-cam, you will have many teachers explaining how to produce both the voiced (there) and unvoiced (think) versions of this sound. The tip I can give you is this: Once you have put your tongue in the correct position between your top and bottom teeth, make sure you slide it back in between your teeth while you allow the air to escape. If you lose the contact between your tongue and your teeth as the air is escaping, the sound will not be produced.
Anglo-Link Is that the "th" sound in "with" is same as "th" sound in "think"? I am a Malaysian, people here usually use "f" sound instead of "th" sound like "with" we'll pronounce as "wif".
The 'th' in 'with' is voiced (vocal chords vibrate). The 'th' in 'think' is unvoiced (vocal chords don't vibrate'. It would be the same difference between 'f' and 'v'.
hello mam... I found a confusing sentence that is " you are used to reading." we know that after any modal we use only first form of verb but in this sentence read+ing is written instead of read. if we see it from other view then verb must be in first form with infinitive .... is this sentece correct ?
In the expression 'to be used to', the word 'to' is a preposition. It is not part of the infinitive 'to do'. If you put a verb after a preposition, you must use the gerund: I am used to cold weather. / I am used to living in cold weather.

Hey, I think there is a mistake for the question 8, minute 6:45. It should be If the bus hadn't broken down..., not broke down as it is the 3rd conditional. Isn't it?

Great!!! Thank you Minoo.
Would you use play up and act up interchangeably?

+Pablo Madrid
Indeed, the correct form is 'hadn't broken'. If the transcript says 'broke', then it's a typo, and I apologise.
Yeah I've also noticed that mistake😉
can you do a lesson on parts of speech?
Excellent videos! I have a question: In the sentence, "I have to agree with you there", What does the word "there" mean? It's really confusing for me with these kind of words, although it seems that it does not affect the meaning too much. Looking forward to your reply! Thank you!
Thank you!
In this context, 'there' means 'on that topic'.
Thank you very much! Your lessons are excellent for me!
I found a typing mistake in your lesson. That is the items "broke down" instead of "broken down" in Number 8, although the box has the items "broken down".
Thank you once more!
Yes, both of the above are typing errors. I apologise for these.
Thanks by your lessons, I like them a lot. I have a question with this one, in the exercise 8, shoulden´t it be Broken Down instead of Broke Down?. Thanks again
Yes, there is a spelling mistake. It should be 'broken'. I apologise for this.
I wanna be like a native speaker about pronunciation. What can you advice?
When you do it this way, I get it. But in part 1-3 I didn't know what to put in. Although I got one wrong. I've learn a lot.
please i need the power points you prepared for the phrasal verbs

In both British and American English.

oh a new voice
I’m studying English grammar with movies from Xfiniti and Netflix peacock movies
Hi!! Can you solve my doubt? Is it posible to use Sort Out and Work Out like synonims? I understand they are used instead the verb "Solve"
Not exactly:
You sort out the problem. = You solve the problem.
You work out a solution to the problem.
Why the "broke down" is used in the sentence "If the bus hadn't broke down, we'd have been here much earlier"? Wouldn't it be more correct to use "broken down" here?
Hi ! If you hear the audio she says " broken down ". There's mistake in writing .
Hi ! If you hear the audio she says " broken down ". There's mistake in writing .
Yeah. Really. Didn't notice that before.
Yes, Alex, that's a spelling mistake for which I apologise.
Thank you, Riya, for pointing this out to Alex.
i have a Question ~
In the dialogue when the male voice says "isn't it time you had a new computer?"shouldn't be (have) instead of (had) in the sentence?
After the expression 'it's time ...' if you start a new phrase, you must use the past FORM, which is the equivalent of the 'Subjunctive' in other languages.
+Anglo-Link Clear! thank you!
I‘ve found that "th" sound is very difficult to pronounce, like "with you there", any tips to pronounce these words?
If you search 'how to produce the English th sound' on Google or UA-cam, you will have many teachers explaining how to produce both the voiced (there) and unvoiced (think) versions of this sound.
The tip I can give you is this: Once you have put your tongue in the correct position between your top and bottom teeth, make sure you slide it back in between your teeth while you allow the air to escape. If you lose the contact between your tongue and your teeth as the air is escaping, the sound will not be produced.
Anglo-Link Is that the "th" sound in "with" is same as "th" sound in "think"? I am a Malaysian, people here usually use "f" sound instead of "th" sound like "with" we'll pronounce as "wif".
The 'th' in 'with' is voiced (vocal chords vibrate). The 'th' in 'think' is unvoiced (vocal chords don't vibrate'. It would be the same difference between 'f' and 'v'.
Anglo-Link Thank you so much!!!! ^^
In no. 8 ) if the bus had not broken down.....should have been used but my mistake ....broke down has been used
there is a typo at 6:43 broken down not broke down :)
Yes, I apologise for this typing mistake.
Hi ! If you hear the audio she says " broken down ". There's mistake in writing .
hi! is we used two phrasal verbs in a same sentence?
if so then could you also make an example for me ?
Yes, of course:
He dropped off the kids at school and picked up his mother at the station.
Anglo-Link ok thank you so much
thanksssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
You're welcome!
Dear Prof,
Could I have said: My computer has played up again instead of broken down again. Thank you
Hello Andrea,
The meanings are different:
play up = not work properly
break down = not work at all
hello mam... I found a confusing sentence that is " you are used to reading." we know that after any modal we use only first form of verb but in this sentence read+ing is written instead of read. if we see it from other view then verb must be in first form with infinitive .... is this sentece correct ?
In the expression 'to be used to', the word 'to' is a preposition. It is not part of the infinitive 'to do'. If you put a verb after a preposition, you must use the gerund:
I am used to cold weather. / I am used to living in cold weather.
Phrasal verb's lessons are fantastic....thanks for this.
Anglo-Link very simple sentence but I couldn't understand...Thanks..Mam please tell us about clauses.
as i am interested in english i want to speak but my speaking doesn't improve by watching and reading or lstening,can you tell me how i can iprove it?

In the 10question y cant v use turned up or came out...
what is difference between turned out,turned up and came out
They all have different meanings. I recommend you look them up in the dictionary and read the examples of each in context.
ESTUARY or RP?
Close to RP.
Hey, I think there is a mistake for the question 8, minute 6:45. It should be If the bus hadn't broken down..., not broke down as it is the 3rd conditional. Isn't it?
That's right. I apologise for the typing error.
