Welcome to www.engvid.com.

I'm Adam.

In today's video, I'm going to talk to you about some phrasal verbs, but the phrasal

verbs we're going to look at are actually very useful for business situations.

Whether you work in an office or for some big company, you're going to probably hear

or even use a lot of these phrasal verbs.

So, again, just to review, a phrasal verb is a verb in connection, in conjunction with

a preposition, and together, the two words mean something other than the individual words,

in most cases.

Again, remember that phrasal verbs often have more than one meaning, but I'm just going

to give you the business context meanings for each of these phrasal verbs.

So, we're going to look at "deal with", "get ahead", "bring up", "think through", "point

out", "chip in" or "pitch in", they actually mean the same thing, "put off", "count on",

"do something over", I left a blank, here, because you're usually going to put a word

noun in between, "end up", "sort out", "go up against", "ask around", and "spell out".

Okay?

So, these are the phrasals.

So, let's start with "deal with".

When you deal with something, you basically have to face it and manage it, whatever it

is.

It could be a situation, it could be a problem, it could be a schedule, etc.

So, managers and CEOs of companies have to deal with many problems throughout their work

day and the work week.

So, when you deal with something, you're able to handle it, there's another word for it,

"handle" is "deal with".

You can make sure that you do what is necessary to do to accomplish your goal or fix whatever

problem you have.

Okay?

When you "get ahead", that's the next one.

Get ahead, in terms of promotion and advancement, that's when we use this.

So, if you work for a company, you don't want to stay in the same position for many years.

You work really hard, that way you can get ahead.

Get ahead means get a higher position or get more money or be transferred to a different

location where you can do more work.

So, get ahead, in terms of business, get a promotion, advance, progress, etc.

Bring up.

So, when you bring something up, you're introducing it into the conversation.

Okay?

So, while I'm making my presentation, if you have any ideas you'd like to bring up, please
