Means to mention something.
EX: You can tell your colleague, for example: “They didn’t bring up any of our suggestions in the meeting”. - 2CARRY ON (continuar)This phrasal verb is very similar to “go on”. Just like “go on” it means “to continue” but it’s usually used in phrases like “Let’s carry on” or “You can carry on without me”.
- 3CHASE UP (hacer un seguimiento)A very handy way of saying “to find, to seek out”. For instance, you’ve been assigned a particular task, but some necessary files are missing. You can say “I’ll chase up those files” meaning you’ll go and see where those files are.
- 4CAME ACROSS (dar con, encontrarse con)To find something by chance or to encounter something unexpectedly. If you found an interesting article online and you’re telling your friend about it, you can say: “You know, I came across this article online where they’ve done research on…”
- 5CAME UP WITH (proponer una idea o solución)This is a very useful phrasal verb if you usually find it hard to describe the fact when someone has told you about a new plan or a good idea.
EX “She came up with a brand new solution” - 6FALL APART (desbaratar, venir abajo)Describes when something falls into pieces. Let’s say you’re wrapping an awkward package and you’re struggling with it. You can say “The whole thing just keeps falling apart, I can’t wrap it; can you help me?”
- 7GET ALONG (llevarse bien con)Means to have a good relationship with someone. You can say “Do you get along with Mary from the accounting?”
- 8GET AWAY WITH (salir impune)Means to avoid being punished for not having done something or for breaching rules. A typical phrase you can start using right away is “Did you think you can get away with this?”
- 9GET OVER (recuperarse de, superar)If you can’t accept something that’s happened in your life and you can’t stop thinking about it, you can say - “It’s very hard for me to get over it.”
- 10GIVE UP (darse por vencido)Use when speaking about resolution you’ve stopped pursuing or expectations that are most likely to remain unfulfilled. “I gave up my New Year’s diet; I just couldn’t stick to it.” “I’ve given up hope of getting a better job.”
- 11GO ON (sigue)This is a typical way of telling someone to begin a particular action or resume doing something. If you can’t wait on someone to start telling an interesting story, you’d exclaim in excitement – “Go on, go on!'
- 12HOLD ON (para!, espera!)When you want to tell someone to stop doing something. Foreigners usually use “Stop!” and “Wait!” instead; “hold on” is more natural in spoken English.
- 13LOOK AFTER (cuidar a, atender a)Means “to take care of” and is used a lot in communications between supervisors and employees at work. Typically your boss would ask you “Can you look after this order for me?” So if you want to sound more natural and friendly, don’t say things like “I’m responsible for this customer”. “I’m looking after this customer” is the best way of putting it.
- 14LOOK UP (buscar)To find something in a phone book, on the Internet or any other reference media.
- 15MAKE OUT (entender, distinguir)To recognize, to distinguish details of something. “I just couldn’t make out what she was saying!” – you can say a phrase like this if the person in question spoke too fast, or with a distinct accent, or too quiet. Another sample sentence – “I can’t make out these details; can you help me with this, please?”
- 16PULL OVER (hacerse a un lado, detenerse)If you drive a car, you can use this phrasal verb to describe an action of driving to the side of the road in order to stop. Typical application of this phrasal verb – “Can you pull over at the next petrol station?” Foreigners would most likely say “to stop at…” so if you start using “pull over” you’ll sound more natural when speaking English!
- 17PUT DOWN (escribir)Simply means “to write down.” “Hold on, I’ll put it down, let me just find a piece of paper!”
- 18PUT OFF (posponer)This is an informal way of saying “to postpone”, “to do later”. “I don’t want to clean my house today, I’ll put it off till tomorrow” would be a perfect example of this phrasal verb in use.
- 19TURN UP (arribar, asistir, presentarse)Means to arrive. You can inquire about your friend by asking “Has Michael turned up today?
