English Phrasal Verbs Christmas Movie Edition
English Phrasal Verbs Christmas Movie Edition My all time favorite Christmas film is A Christmas Story. A lot of my friends and family think Im just being sentimental, but I just think the movie is really funny. The movie follows Ralphie Parker during the weeks prior to Christmas, as he tries to convince his parents to buy him a BB Gun for a present, fights bullies, gets in trouble for swearing for his first time, and battles cold midwestern U.S. weather.The movie is written by Jean Shepherd, who uses a very natural, spoken English style that you can hear this style in dialogue throughout the movie. As most of my students know, natural spoken English relies on a lot more phrasal verbs than formal or written English, and youll find a lot of them in the clip from the movie below. Youll also notice the word gonna used in place of going to and ya instead of you.Here is a list of phrasal verbs from this clip. Watch it and see if you can figure out what each one means:to get readyto put downto come onto wait upto get upto sit upUnfort unately, this clip cannot be embedded, but you can watch it on YouTube by clicking here.
