This English tutorial is focusing on the verb to get. As we have seen Phrasal verbs are idiomatic phrases which consist of a verb and another element, either an adverb or a preposition. The combination of both (Verb + preposition or Verb + adverb) create a new unit of meaning called a Phrasal Verb. A good example is get and it’s many permutations.
- Get across = to communicate
The main idea didn’t get across.

hi students welcome back I’m Julia your
online English teacher and today’s focus
is the verb get so in less than 25 we
will see the verb get in the form of
a phrasal verb of a prepositional verb
and in idioms what does that mean that
means that to get can be combined with a
preposition or adverb to create a
phrasal verb it can be a simple verb
followed by a preposition that doesn’t
affect its initial meaning that is a
prepositional verb and it can just be
used with nouns or noun phrases or
adjectives and in that case it’s just an
idiom so that’s the grammar focus of
today as usual I would like you to also
dedicate some time and some of your
focus to correct pronunciation and
correct spelling I don’t think that at
this point there is anything difficult
when it comes to spelling but just
getting those good habits now will
really make a difference as you progress
towards higher levels of English today’s
lesson structure is as always the
dialogue vocabulary grammar QA and the
recap at the end where you and I can
side to go over the main points of
today’s lesson it is also sometimes a
pretext for me to introduce more
vocabulary which is relevant to the
topic or pronunciation tips which have
been inspired from specific
pronunciation difficulties of today’s
lesson so follow those steps do use the
subtitles in English in your own
language and turn them off all together
that is a great challenge and really
helps with improving listening
comprehension and just listening skills
in general so that’s it for today I’m
now going to let you focus and I will
see you a little later for the recap
section of the video bye bye
