Hello
and
welcome
to
Six
Minute
Vocabulary
with
me
,
Catherine
and
me
.
Rob
,
hello
.
In
this
show
,
we're
going
to
find
out
about
multi
word
verbs
.
That's
right
.
We're
looking
into
verb
phrases
that
are
made
up
of
more
than
one
word
.
And
if
you'd
like
an
example
,
Rob
and
I
have
used
three
of
them
already
.
It's
incredible
.
We
have
yes
.
That's
when
you
said
looking
into
and
made
up
of
.
,
and
Rob
,
you
said
find
out
about
.
And
some
people
call
this
type
of
multi
word
verb
a
phrase
of
hope
.
They
do
.
And
in
this
program
,
we'll
look
at
lots
of
multi
word
verbs
.
We'll
explain
what
they
mean
.
There'll
be
a
quiz
and
we'll
leave
you
with
a
top
tip
for
learning
vocabulary
.
So
let's
get
started
by
listening
to
Andre
,
a
student
from
France
who's
studying
in
London
.
Yeah
,
and
he's
talking
about
his
weekend
.
Here
are
two
questions
for
you
while
you
listen
.
First
,
did
Andre
meet
up
with
his
friends
?
And
second
,
Andre's
English
is
pretty
good
,
but
it
sounds
a
bit
unnatural
.
Why
is
that
?
Here's
Andre
.
I
wanted
to
rendezvous
with
friends
at
the
shopping
center
,
but
I
couldn't
find
them
.
In
the
end
,
I
abandoned
the
day
.
They
said
they
couldn't
find
me
,
but
I
think
they
just
invented
a
story
.
Thank
you
,
Andre
.
And
we
asked
you
if
Andre
managed
to
meet
his
friends
and
sadly
he
didn't
.
He
said
he
abandoned
the
day
well
done
if
you
got
that
at
home
.
But
why
did
Andre's
English
sound
unnatural
?
Well
,
we
could
understand
him
,
OK
,
but
some
of
the
words
he
used
were
a
little
bit
too
formal
for
everyday
natural
spoken
English
.
Yes
,
that's
right
.
When
we're
speaking
some
words
,
especially
verbs
that
originally
come
from
Latin
,
make
a
sound
much
too
formal
.
Andre
used
quite
a
few
of
these
.
For
example
,
he
said
,
abandoned
the
day
.
Yeah
,
abandoned
the
day
.
Well
,
to
sound
more
natural
.
Andre
could
use
a
multi
word
verb
instead
and
say
he
gave
up
on
the
day
.
Now
give
up
on
something
has
a
very
similar
meaning
to
abandon
.
In
Andre
Centonze
,
they
both
mean
stop
doing
something
because
you're
not
succeeding
.
And
Andre
stopped
hoping
he
would
find
his
friends
.
Poor
Andre
.
So
give
up
on
is
a
phrasal
verb
in
English
.
These
are
made
up
of
verbs
and
prepositions
.
Yeah
,
so
we've
got
the
verb
give
and
the
prepositions
up
and
on
.
And
Andre
needs
to
use
more
of
these
phrasal
verbs
when
he's
speaking
.
So
are
we
saying
that
these
Latinate
verbs
are
wrong
or
not
as
good
as
the
multi
word
verbs
?
Can
we
forget
about
learning
latenight
verbs
then
?
Well
,
that
would
be
good
,
Rob
,
but
actually
no
,
you
do
need
to
learn
them
.
And
they're
not
wrong
is
just
a
question
of
context
.
You'll
see
a
lot
more
of
the
Latinate
verbs
in
written
English
and
informal
English
.
So
,
yep
,
you
do
need
to
learn
both
types
and
you
have
to
use
the
right
one
in
the
right
situation
.
So
,
for
example
,
Andre
said
he
planned
to
rendezvous
with
friends
.
Now
,
if
he
changes
the
Latin
word
rendezvous
to
meet
up
with
the
meaning
really
doesn't
change
.
It
just
makes
his
speaking
sound
much
more
natural
.
Okay
,
well
,
let's
listen
to
one
more
example
.
I
think
they
just
invented
this
story
.
This
would
sound
better
,
as
I
think
they
just
made
up
a
story
.
When
you
make
something
up
,
you
say
something
that
isn't
true
.
Okay
.
And
now
let's
listen
to
Andre
again
,
this
time
with
the
multi
word
verbs
.
I
wanted
to
meet
up
with
friends
at
the
shopping
center
,
but
I
couldn't
find
them
.
In
the
end
,
I
give
up
on
the
day
.
They
said
they
couldn't
find
me
,
but
I
think
they
just
made
up
a
story
.
Well
done
,
Andre
.
That's
a
lot
better
.

And
now
it's
quiz
time
.
What
goes
in
this
gap
?
I'm
going
to
my
family
next
weekend
.
Is
it
A
,
meet
on
with
B
,
meet
up
to
or
C
,
meet
up
with
and
the
verb
is
C
meet
up
with
number
two
.
My
brother
isn't
very
reliable
.
He's
always
a
making
on
excuses
,
b
making
up
excuses
or
c
inventing
up
excuses
.
He's
always
be
making
up
excuses
.
And
number
three
,
what
multi
word
verb
has
a
similar
meaning
to
the
verb
abandon
.
And
the
answer
is
give
up
on
welldone
if
you
got
those
right
at
home
.
And
that
brings
us
almost
to
the
end
of
today's
program
.
Oh
,
yes
.
But
before
we
go
,
here's
today's
top
tip
for
learning
vocabulary
.
Try
to
learn
phrasal
verbs
and
the
Latin
based
partners
in
pairs
.
That
way
,
you'll
have
the
right
verb
for
the
right
situation
.
So
we're
almost
out
of
time
.
But
,
very
quickly
,
can
you
remind
us
of
some
of
these
multi
word
verbs
you've
heard
today
?
Most
certainly
.
We
had
to
look
into
made
up
of
find
out
about
meet
up
with
,
give
up
on
and
made
.
Thanks
.
