  • Hello and welcome to 6 Minute Vocabulary.

  • I'm Neil and I'm Catherine.

  • In this programme we're looking at multi-word verbs like move in, move on, move out and get on.

  • And we call these phrasal verbs and prepositions like in on or out can completely change the meaning of phrasal verbs.

  • So we'll be looking at these verbs in sentences to help us understand their meaning.

  • Let's start by listening to Robin.

  • He's having problems with his housemate Pete, and he has a question for you while you listen.

  • Why is Robin unhappy with Pete?

  • Pete moved in three months ago.

  • We got on well at first, we were friends, but now it's terrible.

  • He's so messy, and he keeps disturbing me when I'm trying to get on with my college work.

  • It's really time for us to move on.

  • We can't be friends anymore.

  • I'm going to ask him to move out and live somewhere else.

  • But he gets on with my family.

  • My brother really likes him, so it'll be difficult.

  • OK, so we asked you, why is Robin unhappy with Pete?

  • It's because Pete is messy and keeps disturbing him.

  • What do you think of that, Neil?

  • I'm not surprised, then.
