- Hello everyone, and welcome back to English with Lucy.

It seems like quite a lot of you are interested in

vocabulary regarding relationships,

and you're also quite interested in phrasal verbs,

so I just had this amazing idea.

I thought, put the two together,

relationships, phrasal verbs, because there are a lot.

So I'm going to talk about 12 today.

Some are more basic, some are more common, should I say,

and some are more advanced.

Then if you use these in exams like IELTS and

the first in the advanced Cambridge exams,

then you should get a good response

because they're quite niche.

Quickly, before we get started,

I'd just like to thank the sponsor of today's video, italki.

I'm sure you've heard me talk about it before,

but italki is a fantastic online database

of teachers that you could have video chat lessons with.

There are native and non-native teachers.

It's a really convenient way to get in

those extra learning hours,

and have real conversation practise.

If you sign up using the link in the description box,

you will see my lovely face,

and when you buy your first $10 worth of italki credits,

they will credit your account with another $10,

so it's like a buy-one-get-one-free on lessons.

All the information is in the description box down below.

Right, let's get on with the lesson.

The first phrasal verb is to ask out.

It's separable, so to ask somebody out,

and this is to invite someone on a date.

For example, he asked me out at a party,

and we've been inseparable ever since.

So the next one is to take somebody out.

This is to take somebody on a date.

So these first two are quite similar.
