Welcome to the A to Z English podcast.
My name is Jack, and I am here with my co host, Sochil.
And today we are going to talk about two phrasal verbs.
The first one is put on and the second one is put off.
And so social, how would you.
There's a lot of different meanings to put on and put off, but they're not related to each other.
The two phrasals, they have totally different meanings.
So why don't you give us a couple of examples of like put on and put off?
When do we use them?
Yeah, Jack, they sound like opposites.
You're right.
So you would think that they would mean opposite things, but they just mean totally different things.
So that's why we're here, to provide a little context for our listeners.
So for put on, usually use it as you can put something on physically, like you can put on an item of clothing, like a jacket or a shirt or some glasses, but you can also use it it in a more of a figurative sense, which, for example, like, my boss was putting on an act, pretending to be something they're not, or he was putting me on.
Like that person was joking with me, they were pulling my leg.
As you've used another idiom episode.
So, yeah, I think those are some uses for put on.
