17 分钟Hey English learners, welcome to another phrasal verb episode.
I hope you're doing great and that you're ready to learn a couple new phrasal verbs today.
In this episode, we're going to look at two phrasal verbs.
The first one is call for and the second one is call off.
So first, let's define these phrasal verbs and see an example of each one.
Call for means to publicly demand something.
So for example, I could say they called for the documents to be released.
In this sentence, I'm saying that they publicly demanded that the documents be released.
Maybe they're going on the news and saying that these documents need to be released and maybe they're protesting or they're calling their local government representatives or whatever.
They're publicly demanding for these documents to be released.
They're calling for these documents to be released.
And the other phrasal verb is call off.
This means to cancel a planned event.
For example, the attack was called off by the commander.
In this sentence, I'm saying that there was an attack that was planned against the enemy,
but the commander decided to cancel the attack.
He called it off.
So he called off the attack.
All right.
Now let me talk about a couple different things so that I can use these phrasal verbs again and again in different sentences.
