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 English phrasal verbs today.
In this episode, I'm going to show you the phrasal verb cheer up and the phrasal verb chew out.
Those are the two phrases that we're going to learn today.
First, let me define these phrasal verbs and give you an example of each one.
Cheer up means to become happier or make someone else feel happier.
So it could be you cheering up or you can cheer someone else up.
So it just depends on the sentence.
For example, I could say, When his favorite football team loses,
it seems like nothing can cheer him up.
In this sentence, I'm saying that when his favorite football team loses,
nothing can stop him from being sad or upset or angry.
Nothing makes him happier and he just continues to be in a bad mood.
And the other phrasal verb is chew out.
This phrasal verb means to reprimand someone severely.
And when you reprimand someone, you criticize that person to their face and tell them they're wrong,
they shouldn't have done this, or they did this badly, or whatever.
So...
when you chew someone out, you reprimand them severely.
So for example, I could say the coach chewed him out for his lack of effort.
