I got a question about adding "UP" to certain verbs and this learner wanted to know more. As I did more research, I was plunged into a rabbit hole of research and it turned out to be much more complicated than I first realised! I decided to try to tackle this topic in a podcast episode.

Because there's a lot to talk about, this is just part 1. If you like this episode, let me know! If this one goes well, I'll do my best to make a part 2.

In this episode, I talk about what a phrasal verb is, how 'up' can change the meaning of verbs, and 4 different grammar patterns you can learn to help you understand these words.
