My name is Jack and I'm here with my co-host social. And today we are going to do a language tips episode and we're going to do some 3 phrasal verbs that use the verb do. 00:00:30 Jack And the first one is to do away with Xochitl. What does it mean to do away with something? 00:00:39 Xochitl You will know something. 00:00:40 Xochitl Is to get rid of it. 00:00:44 Xochitl Essentially so. Ohh, did you hear that McDonald's did away with the Mcrib on their menu? Ohh, no. That was my favorite menu item. It's basically McDonald's. Discontinued or got? 00:00:50 Jack Right. 00:00:57 Xochitl Rid of that product. 00:01:00 Xochitl Yes, I think that's essentially what it means. 00:01:03 Jack I have a good one. We did one A-Z English news story and then we quit so we could say we decided to do away with A-Z English news, you know. 00:01:17 Xochitl Right. Yeah, it is. In this current events is no more. We have done away with it, yeah. 00:01:22 Jack Right. 00:01:25 Jack Yeah, we, we quit it to quit. Something do away with it. 00:01:29 Xochitl It said something to get rid of something. Discontinue something. Yeah. 00:01:32 Jack Right. 00:01:33 Jack Exactly. Now what about do over to do do something over? 00:01:40 Xochitl Do something over is to give it another shot. As we were talking about in our sound very episode. Give it another try or just simply do it again and usually you want to do over when you fail. So let's say you're on cheerleading tryouts. 00:01:59 Xochitl And you, you know, we're supposed to do some kind of flip in the air and instead you tripped and fell flat on your face. And they're like, OK, you're out of here and you're like, no, give me a do over. I swear I can do it this time. 00:02:11 Xochitl That would be. 00:02:13 Xochitl A do over. 00:02:15 Jack Yeah, a do over right and that would be a noun, right? Because that's a thing, like the thing that you do. And then if we want to use it as a verb, you have to put something in the middle between do and over. So if you, if you if I gave you a homework assignment and then you gave it to me and I looked at it and I go. 00:02:30 Xochitl Right. 00:02:32 Jack This homework assignment is not good enough. You need to do it over means you need to do it again. Do it over. Yeah, good. OK. 00:02:42 Xochitl Right, right. 00:02:44 발표자 Alright, I. 00:02:45 Jack Yeah, like that cause we use both, right? A do over is really like when kids are playing games and stuff, there's like no do over do over do over, yeah. 00:02:51 Xochitl Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's really cute. One. Yeah. It's. We haven't said one time. It's like the multiverse. Idioms are like the multiverse of. 00:03:01 Xochitl English because there's many different meanings to 1 idiom sometimes, which I think is neat. 00:03:07 Jack All right, so so I've got one more for us here. This one is do without what does it mean to do without something? 00:03:15 Xochitl To do about something is to make do, or essentially to substitute it. You're OK without that, so in the. 00:03:26 Xochitl Episode or an episode where we talked about song lyrics where Ariana Grande is talking about breaking free from her relationship. She can do without that relationship. She's better off without that relationship. UM, another example would be, let's say that you're cooking something and you don't have any garlic powder. 00:03:47 Xochitl Anymore. But you have fresh garlic, so you just mince that and add it to the dish you did without the garlic powder because there was something else to substitute. 00:03:57 Jack Again, I've got one sentence here. It's like we forgot to buy milk, so we'll have to do without it for tonight. You know, it's like, yes, tonight we have to do without the milk because we forgot to b
