Phrasal Verb Opposites in English

What's the opposite of PICK UP? How about STAY UP? In this very important English vocabulary lesson, I look at several phrasal verbs and their opposites. Do you think you know phrasal verbs? Find out by clicking on the play button! Most nouns have an opposite. Phrasal verbs also have opposites, and it's important to know them. Some of the phrasal verb pairs in this lesson include: pick up & drop off, get on & get off, get in & get out, turn up & turn down, and more. These are some of the most commonly used phrasal verbs in English, so make sure you know them by watching this video and then doing the quiz at www.engvid.com/phrasal-verb-o...

TRANSCRIPT
So then I just got out of there as soon as I could. It was... It was a terrible scene. Okay, you ready for this? Let's do it.
Hey, everyone. I'm Alex. Thanks for clicking, and welcome to this lesson on: "Phrasal Verb Opposites". So, today with the help of my friend, Steve the spider, I am going to look at... How many? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10 - 10 phrasal verbs and their opposites for a total of 20 phrasal verbs. That is more phrasal verbs than Steve has legs. More phrasal verbs than Steve has legs. Right?
So, we'll start from the top. First: "check in" or "check into". So you can check into a hotel when you first arrive. Say: "I'm here to check in." Okay? Now, when you check in, obviously, when you finish your stay at a hotel you have to "check out" or "check out of" the hotel. So, Steve, remember that time when we drove down to the States, we went to Fun Spot which is the biggest arcade in the world, we checked into the Holiday Inn on a Friday, and we checked out on a Sunday? It was a good time. I played Pac-Man Mania for like four hours straight.
Next, we have: "get in". So, "to get in", specifically into an enclosed space like a room or a car, or "get into", the opposite is: "get out" or "get out of" a place or something. So, in a car, for example: "I got into the car. She got into the taxi." So you get into a taxi or into a car, and then to leave you have to get out. Now, you can also be inside your house, and you can tell someone, it's like: "Get in, get in, get in." Or if you're very angry at them, you can say: "Get out!" Like that one time, remember that? You know what I'm talking about.
All right, next: "get on" or "get onto", "get off" or "get off of". Now, this is specifically for public transportation. So, you can get on or get onto a bus, a train, a plane, a boat. And then when you leave the bus, leave the train, leave the boat, leave the plane, you get off the plane, get off the boat, or get off of the bus, or the subway, or the metro. So, you get on the metro, the trip is finished, get off the metro. Okay? Depending on which part of the world you're from, you might say the metro or the subway. I say metro because I work around Montreal, but if you go to Toronto most people say subway, so it depends where you're from.
Next: "go out" and "stay in". So this means... "To go out" means to go see a movie, go outside of your house on the weekend, and do something with your friends. So after this, Steve and I are going to go out and have a little party somewhere. Don't know where. We haven't decided yet, but we got some friends waiting for us outside and we'll decide after. Now, if you don't want to go out and you prefer a quiet night in your house, in your room like Steve listening to Pink Floyd in his bedroom while staring up at the ceiling, then you stay in. So your friends ask you: "Hey. Do you want go out tonight?" Say: "No, no. Pink Floyd. I'm going to stay in. I need to take in this music."
Next: "pick up" and "put down". So, very literal. Pick up, put down. Pick up, put down. So you can pick up a glass, put down a glass. Pick up a pencil, put down a pencil.
