  • Is it MAKEUP or "MAKE UP"? Actually, we use both, but they have different meanings. MAKEUP (sometimes spelled MAKE-UP) is the stuff that you put on your face, and MAKE UP is a phrasal verb with many different meanings. This short and easy-to-understand video for English learners explains four of the main ways that we use the phrasal verb MAKE UP.

We can do feedback about our possible mistakes too,at least I do it.For example,I have noticed that in English I should not omit the nouns in the phrases like in my mother tongue,so I must say: She put on "makeup" to her face and not She put on her face makeup or they make up everything but we didn't believe their lies.

    Mike, I have an important question concerning phrasal verbs in general. I know that the pronouns go between the verb itself and the preposition: make it up, make them up. We can say ``He made up a story``, but can we say ``He made a story up``?

    • @TeacherMikeEnglish
      @TeacherMikeEnglish  6 місяців тому +1

      Yes. With separable phrasal verbs, you can do it both ways (unless you are using a pronoun).

    • @ElviraSmithP23
      @ElviraSmithP23 9 місяців тому +1

      The correct answer is the FOR.
      1) for
      This gives a period of time.
      Examples:
      I've worked at this company for over two years.
      I have not worked for over three years.
      Over= more than
      2) since
      We can use the present perfect with since and a date, day, time or event.
      This gives a starting point.
      Since is used with a starting point. Use since with the time when the action started.
      Examples:
      I've had this car since 2015.
      I haven't seen you since the wedding/ since you left school.
      I haven't played tennis since my accident.

      If you use regular present perfect, it is "Why have you come home late?"
      But I your example with "recently" It sounds like you are talking about a habit/something that has happened multiple times, so it should probably be "Why have you been coming home late recently?"
