11 分钟Hi there, guys.
This is Harry, and welcome back to my podcast.
As you can see, I'm sitting here in a typical irish summer.
I've got my jacket on because it's a little bit wet and a little bit cold outside.
So for those of you, you can listen to this on the podcast in the normal way, or you can even watch it on my YouTube channel, whatever suits you best.
So what are we going to do today?
Well, I thought we'd look at some more phrasal verbs, and we're going to look at phrasal verbs connected with sleep.
So we're getting towards the end of the week, and people are a little bit tired after a hard day's work or a hard week's work.
So we'll talk about phrasal verbs connected with sleep later on.
I'll give you my contact details if you wish to contact me, or indeed, if there's somebody that you know that you think would enjoy these podcasts, well, why don't you give them the contact details and they can listen in or watch in, too.
Okay, so, as always, I'm going to give you the individual phrasal verbs one by one, and then I'll go back to them and I'll take them and give you some examples.
Okay, so here they are.
Doze off, drop off, conk out, crash out, nod off, flake out, sleep in or sleep out.
I'll explain a little bit of a difference between those, although in essence they mean the same.
And then finally to stay up.
Okay, so all phrasal verbs connected with sleep, so let me take them one at a time.
So the first one to doze off, well, doze off it means when you go into a light sleep, it's typical of that old uncle or aunt that you have after the Christmas dinner, they're sitting down enjoying the turkey and the vegetables, and they sit down, and within a couple of minutes, they doze off.
There, they fall asleep very quickly, but it's usually not a heavy sleep.
Okay, so to doze off, it just means a light sleep, and they might wake up at a little push or a gentle little nudge.
So to doze off, a quick sleep, not always, necessarily.
