TRANSCRIPT
Hi. Welcome back to www.engvid.com. I'm Adam. Today's lesson is about phrasal verbs. We're going to look at the phrasal verbs with "set". Okay? Again, a phrasal verb is a verb and a preposition that together have a very different meaning than the two words individually. Okay? Not the literal meaning. So we're going to look at: "set up", "set in", "to", "on", "down", "against", "aside", "back", "apart", "out", "off", and "about"-those are similar so I put them together-and this is an idiom, it's not a phrasal verb, but I thought I would throw it in there: "to set someone straight".
Okay, let's start with "set up". "Set up" has quite a few meanings. Okay? We set up something, for example, a display. It means we build it, we construct it, or we put it together. So I want to... For example, I want to display a painting, so I set up the easel, the display. I build it, I put it all together, and then I put the painting on top of that. Okay? In a similar way, we build a business. Okay? So we set up a business. Sometimes we say we "set up shop". We set up shop; we start a business. We also use "set up shop" as a slang expression, it means to start doing something like a professional, but depends on the context for that.
Now, you can also set someone up, means to arrange a meeting or create, like, a date. So, I have a single friend, a guy, and my... My girlfriend has a single girlfriend, and we set them up. It means we bring them together, we say: "Oh, let's go out for dinner", we all meet together, and then we introduce them, and maybe they go on a date later. So we arrange this meeting, we set them up for a date. You can also set someone up, meaning, like, frame them. This is usually in terms of crimes. So I want this person to go to jail, so I will set them up. I will put some drugs in their office, and I will call the police and say: "Oh, this guy has drugs." The police will come, they will check, they will find the drugs, and they will arrest this person. So I set him up for arrest. Okay?
Now, I put here the "to", because we can say we... "You set someone up to", verb. What this means is you put them in a position. So, for example, I have a child and if I don't educate my child properly, then I am setting him up to fail in the future. Why? Because he doesn't have the tools to succeed. You can also say... You can make it a noun, you can say: "set up" or "set someone up for failure". Put them in that position that the only thing that can happen is they will fail. Okay? So that is "set up".
"Set in". "Set in" basically means, like, take hold. But not like physically holding with your hand. Something captures or catches the thing it's meant to do. So here's an example: I'm walking through the jungle, I'm trekking through the jungle and a snake bites me. It's a poisonous snake. So the poison enters my arm, goes into the bloodstream, and starts to move. I'm okay, nothing happens. I'm walking, I think I should go to the hospital. But soon, the poison sets in. It takes hold of the body, of my system, and suddenly I can't move, and I fall to the ground. Or if you're in a dangerous situation, at the beginning, you think: "Okay, you know, it's not so bad", but then suddenly the fear sets in. The fear takes over your mind, it holds your mind, because you realize it's a very, very dangerous situation.
We have a couple other expressions. "Set foot in", if you set foot in a place, it means you enter it. So if I'm a storeowner and I catch you stealing something, I will say: "Okay, I will let you go this time, but if you ever set foot in my store again, if you even a little bit come inside, I will call the police and have you arrested." Okay? We also have "set in motion". These are both common expressions. "To set in motion" means to get something started. So, there were riots in the city last week, but the police and the media are still trying to figure out what set it in motion. What was the trigger? What was the initial cause that got this thing started, got it moving? Okay?

Let me tell you about my day. Right in the beginning, I had a meeting set up with the teachers who I work with. I was a little nervous because it was my first meeting as their coordinator and I confess that for a minute, fear set in. My best friend helped me calm down. As their coordinator, all I want is to instruct them and work as a team being someone they can count on and hopefully, set them for great initiatives in class and out of it. Honestly, this is what I have my mind set on: Being the support they need. Most of what I said, I had written down on a piece of paper and tried to be focus on my speech. It was lovely since the girls earlier that morning had set some flowers down on the table which made me soft. I also see the teachers really excited to the changes going on since I know they had a different mindset from the old coordinator and they usually set against most of what was presented. I want them to see me as someone they can trust and when someone else wonder what sets me apart from all other coordinator, I want them remember this. I know this journey can be hard, mainly because I'm setting it off right now, but it'll go with lots of learning.
Thank you!! 🙏🏼
Just Take down
-Set up = to built, to create.
-Set to = to be ready, to start.
-Set on = to focus on sth, to determine
-Set down = take notes
-Set back = its cost
-Set apart = what makes sth special, different from the whole.
-Set aside = put it aside for later use.
-Set off = to start ( ex: set off the journey early)
-Set straight = to correct the misinformation.
You're the best teacher i've ever got. Thanks, Adam!
Adam you're such a great teacher! I've watched all your lessons about phrasal verbs. Could you please make another one with the verb count? Thanks a lot.
Phrasal verbs is one of the most difficult part of learning English for me, because mostly you should learn them by heart. And of course if you don't use them in your everyday speech they are usually forgotten. But...anyway, thank you very much Adam for this useful video. It was very interesting and easy to understand you.
Thank you for being a respectful person ☺☺

Amina TAHRI hi
I adore this channel to the moon and back....All faculties are great enough to inculcate all the concepts.....!!!!
Hi, Adam! In my view, you are one of the best teachers if not the best one. You are so logical, explicit and and easy to understand. I have been following your lessons for quite a while and I do admire your practical, intelligible explanations that are always to the point. My most sincere thanks!
The best approach to learn phrasal verbs is to read a lot and consume English content. Our brains were not set up to absorb vocabulary at this manner. Although, is a very good explanation provided by the teacher, well done.
Oh man this is exactly what I was looking for and you don’t know how much I learnt from this video !! Please keep making more of these videos !!!
Awesome job !!!!
You set apart from other teachers so much, that's why I like You. I want longer videos, it would be even nice if they were longer than an hour!
Thanks a lot for the video! Please make more of phrasal verbs videos!
Very good thank you very much for your very excellent teaching.

There would be no need to learn English If every native speaker would speak like you.
I don't know how, but when I watch your videos I feel like you speak my native language.
I mean I understand clearly everything you are talking about and it takes no efforts at all!
Thank you so much for your great lessons, Adam :)
+Filippo Borghetti That's true, he's really an awesome teacher. Where are you from ?
Junior Ferreira Yes, he's defenitely a great teacher. I'm from Moscow, Russia :)
It's good to know, our native languages are pretty different. I'm from Brazil
Junior Ferreira Actually, my first native language is Italian. And I still can speak Italian (not really good, but still) although I've lived in Russia most of my life.
ooh That's good to know man, I only speak portuguese ( fluently). I'm learning english. And I'm happy because I made an american friend at my work, so I talk to him when I go to work. Do you practice english with someone?
I understood everything, but the main thing is remembering and using them correctly.
Thanks a million for your explanation.
I am review all the video because I improved it from 2017 to 18 it was really really helpful to learn from the teacher AM
Hello Adam, trillion thanks. The great thing about your lessons is that you provide written example that’s what sets you different.

Great lessons you gave !
Hello Adam,
You are a very good teacher . I will much appreciate if you give atleast 3 examples of each phrasel verb. Sometimes you just provide 1 example and speak slowly as we are learners. I suggest you check Espresso English which is run by Shana. She speaks very slowly and gives lots of examples.
Thank U, Adam.
