Phrasal Verb: LINE UP - English Vocabulary #shorts


Today’s phrasal verb is 'line up.' I'm going to go through the top three ways we use 'line up.' One: we use 'line up' when we talk about arranging people or things in a row. For example: • The teacher asks the students to line up in order of height, from shortest to tallest. • Can you help me line up these chairs before the guests arrive, please? The second way we can use 'line up' is when we talk about organizing or scheduling an event. Here are a couple of examples: • We've lined up several great speakers for the conference next month. That means we've arranged for some great speakers to speak at the event next month. • Guess what? I've got three job interviews lined up tomorrow. And thirdly, you can use 'line up' to talk about supporting or opposing a group or a person. For example: • This company's values line up with my personal beliefs. That's why I'm really happy working here. • There are some big names that have lined up against the current government's policies. I hope that helps! https://organicenglish.club/resources ❖ Support the channel HERE 👋🏽: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/organicenglish More from Organic English: Organic English Website: http://bit.ly/Organic-Web On Facebook: http://bit.ly/Organic-Facebook On Instagram: http://bit.ly/Organic-Insta SUBSCRIBE ➡️ http://bit.ly/Subscribe2OrganicEnglish #English #LearnEnglish #EnglishLanguage #IELTS #TOEFL #ESL #idioms #english #slowenglish #realestate #englishvocabulary #PhrasalVerb #windup #EnglishLanguage #LanguageLearning #VocabularyEnhancement #RealLifeExamples #EnglishTips #LanguageInsights #YouTubeShorts #EducationalContent

HEAR or LISTEN? - Quick Grammar Guide #shorts

Image
Hi folks, Charlie here. What is the difference between "hear" and "listen"? They're both to do with sounds coming into our ears, but we use them in slightly different ways. "Hear" means to notice the sounds with your ears. It's automatic. There's no effort involved. Here are a couple of examples: • I can hear the birds outside. • Can you hear me okay? • Suddenly I heard a noise. There was somebody else in the house. Now, on the other hand, "listen" means to pay attention to the sounds. You need to make an effort. It's not automatic. And we usually listen to something. For example: • I like to listen to music. • I listen very carefully to what she said and wrote it all down. • Can you please listen to me? I have something important to say. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching. See you next time. ❖ Support the channel HERE 👋🏽: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/organicenglish More from Organic English: Organic English

So, here, I wasn't sure how successful the startup would be, but I took the risk and invested in it anyway. Here's another example: "He wasn't sure about the weather, but he took a punt on it being sunny and prepared a picnic." In this instance, he wasn't sure whether the weather was going to be good or not, but he took the risk and prepared a picnic. No
