Hello again!
Today we will learn a little bit about 'phrasal verbs', a common grammar point in English. Sometimes, instead of just one verb, we use a two-word set expression made of a verb and a preposition (such as 'up', 'on', 'out'). So, instead of saying 'remove your shoes', we might say take off your shoes'.
Usually, the meaning of a phrasal verb is similar to the verb in it. So, 'sit down' means 'sit', and 'go out' means 'go'. Sometimes, though, the meaning is quite different, so an airplane 'takes off', meaning it leaves the ground, and we might 'carry on' with a lesson, meaning to continue it, even though the plane doesn't 'take' anything, and we're not 'carrying' anything in the lesson. In general, if you can't tell what the meaning of a phrasal verb is right away, then it probably has a special meaning, and you might need to learn it as if it were brand new vocabulary.
