All language subtitles for 23 Phrasal Verbs with COME come across, come around, come up with.eng

Hi.

Welcome to www.engvid.com.

I'm Adam.

In today's lesson we're going to look at
another phrasal verb using the verb "come".

Now, again, what are phrasals?

Phrasals are a verb and a preposition that
together can have many different meanings

apart from the words themselves.

Now, I know that there are many phrasal verbs
with the verb "come", but I've only chosen

these to...

These are the most common ones
we're going to look at today.

If there are other ones that are not on the
list, by all means, please put them in the

forum on www.engvid.com in the forum section
if you want to talk about other ones, if you

want to ask about other ones, but today we're
going to concentrate on these ones here: "come

up with" and "come
up against"...

Actually I should probably just put
this here so there's no confusion.

"Come up with", "come up against", "come across",
"come around", "come out", sometimes "come

out with", "come apart", "come on", "come
into", "come over", and "come in".

So, let's get started.

So: "come up with".

When you come up with something, means that you
either produce it or that you think about it. Okay?

So if you come up with a plan, for example,
it means, like we had a problem in the office

or in the business and we needed to fix it,
and I asked all my staff to come up with a

plan or come up with an idea, or come
up with a solution to try to fix this.

So, somebody came up with it,
means that they thought about it.

They used their imagination, they thought,
thought, thought, and they came up with a plan.

But you can also use it with
other things, not just ideas.

So, I have a project but I don't have enough
money for this project, so I ask my friend

to help me out, maybe talk to some of his wealthy
friends, and maybe sell them on the idea.

And to my surprise, he came up with the
money, means he produced it or he found it.

He was able to get this money.

So: "come up with", thought or actual
thing, usually money we use it with.

"Come up with the money", and we would say
"the money" more than "a money", obviously.

Okay?

"Come up against".

So: "come up against" means you
suddenly face an obstacle or you...

Or a struggle, something...

Some sort of problem, but
usually it's an obstacle.

Now, this could be physical.

I'm walking along a hiking
trail and suddenly there...

Or it's not suddenly, but before a
tree fell over and blocked the way.

So I came up against this tree, and now I
have to figure out how to get around or over

it, etc.

More commonly we talk about this
in terms of abstract ideas.

So, I am trying to run for President of
my country and I thought: "Okay, easy.

Everybody loves me.

I don't really have
much competition."

But suddenly the opposition party
put in a candidate and I've...

I have to come up against him.

Basically I have to come up against a worthy
opponent and now I have to fight, and I have

to struggle to continue
on where I'm going.

So that's come up against
something not good.

"Come across", again, there's the literal one,
means come across something, so basically

move.

But again, I'm...

Somebody is coming
across to my side.

But more commonly: "to come across"
and we usually use it with "as".

If someone comes across as something else,
it means he or she appears to be something

that maybe he or she is not.

Okay?

So I met this person the other day, met him
for the first time and he really came across

as a friendly guy, but then later I found
out that he's really not a very nice guy at

all.

He's a...

I can't use the word here on the video, but
there's another word for him that he actually is.

So he came across as friendly, but
in reality, not very friendly.

Okay?

"Come around" also
has a few meanings.

One, basically if I want to...

Somebody is trying to change my opinion, or
I want to change somebody else's opinion,

okay?

So I persuade this person to think that my
position is better, and I convince, and I

talk and I talk and I talk, and finally
this person thinks: "Yeah, you know what?

Maybe you're right."

So he came around, he came
to my side of the argument.

"Come around"-sorry-can also mean if you're
passed out and somebody's trying to revive

you, they give you some smelling salt or they
throw water on your face, and you come around.

"Oh.

Oh, where am I?

Oh, okay, I know where I am."

I came around, I regained
consciousness, I regained my bearings.

Okay, that's "come around".

Now, a little bit more
casual use, if I say...

I see a friend of mine, I haven't seen him for
a long time and I say: "Yeah, I live just

over down the street.

Come around sometime".

"Come around" means visit
in a very casual way.

"Just come around.

Whenever you're ready,
come to my place."

"Come out".

Now, a few meanings here.

"Come out" basically means just step outside
of something, so come out of the house.

"Come out.

Come out, let's go play
tennis", whatever.

"Come out", the
more common use...

And you might have heard:
"Come out of the closet".

So, this is basically a gay person, or a lesbian
person, or a LGBQT, I'm not sure how many

letters there are now, but if somebody
comes out, means they reveal their secret.

They don't hide anymore.

So, before we say they were hiding in the
closet, and then they came out of the closet,

means they made it public that they
are gay, or lesbian, or whatever.

"Come out with", if I say...

Somebody's trying to tell me something and
I'm very impatient, I say: "Just come out

with it already."

Just say it.

Come out with, say what's
on your mind, don't...

Don't wait.

Okay?

Now, if I also say...

I invite my friend to come out, so I say:
"Yeah, I'm going out with my friends to a

movie next week.

Why don't you come out?"

Basically: Come with us.

Okay?

That's basically what it means, it
means go out and have a good time.

"Come apart", so "apart" means separated,
so "come apart" basically means something

falls apart or is destroyed.

So, for example, my shirt, if somebody pulls
on it, it will come apart, it will fall apart.

But we can also talk about
a person's emotions.

So if a person has just...

Has come apart, it means
he or she lost control.

They just lost their
emotional control, they...

Something happened, or maybe they're having a
nervous breakdown, but we say they've come

apart, they've lost control,
like their inside...

Their emotional insides
are destroyed.

Okay.

Let's move on.

"Come on", again,
a few meanings.

"Come on!" means hurry up.

"Come on already, let's go.

Come on, come on."

So this is a very common use of the
word "come on", to hurry somebody up.

But another meaning is somebody, like, let's
say tells me a story, and he says: -"You know,

I won the lottery.

I won 100 million dollars."

-"Come on!" means like: "Really?", or "I
don't believe you", or "You're joking".

That's another meaning
of the word "come on".

Another meaning is more
of a sexual nature.

If I go to a bar and I come on to a
girl, means I'm trying to get with her.

Okay?

I'm maybe saying some things to her,
maybe trying to touch her a little bit.

Usually it's not a good thing.

It's not a positive meaning of the word "come
on", and sometimes we just say it as a noun,

it's: "a come-on".

"Come-on" is one word, basically meaning somebody
trying to get something from somebody else,

man or woman, could go both way.

"Come into", when you come into something,
and again, like the most common is money:

"Come into some money",
what does that mean?

Basically means you inherit or
somehow you found or managed to get.

So, my friend's grandfather passed away last
week and it was very sad, but suddenly he's

come into some money,
means he inherited.

Now he has a little bit of money
that he didn't have before.

You can also say: "Something
comes into fashion".

If something comes into fashion,
it becomes fashionable.

So, fashion is more of an idea or a circle
that everybody tries to live in, and something

comes into fashion, means everybody's starting
to use it, everybody's starting to think it's

popular and like it, etc.

We can also say: "Come into use",
it's basically the same idea.

So, 20 years ago the internet was just starting
to come into use, but now it's everywhere.

So: "come into use", starting to become
more and more popular as something to use.

Okay, so now we
have: "come over".

Now, for some reason I get asked
about this one all the time.

People don't know what
"come over" means.

It's very simple.

It means: Come over here.

So if I say to somebody: "Why don't you
come over sometime?" it means: Come visit.

I'm inviting you to come visit me
wherever I am, usually my house.

So...

But you can also call somebody
on the phone, say: "Hey.

What are you doing?

Nothing?

Oh, can I come over?"

Technically it should
be: "Can I go over?"

but everybody just
says "come over".

It means: Can I visit?

Very simple, that's really the
only meaning to "come over".

Now, "come in" has
a few meanings.

The literal meaning means come
in, means come in from outside.

So it's cold outside,
I say: "Come in.

Warm up a little bit."

So: "Come inside".

Now, if you go to a store and you say: -"Oh,
I heard there's a new book by this author.

I want to buy it."

-"Oh, it hasn't come in yet."

Basically means it hasn't arrived, so like
fashions, or like new technology, if you go

to a store to buy a new phone or whatever, your
model hasn't come in yet, it hasn't arrived

in stock.

Now, we also use it, for
example, in sports.

In a race everybody's racing and I finish the
race, but I didn't win, I came in third place.

So, basically in what position
you finished the thing.

Your sports team didn't finish at the top of
the league, but they came in second which

is not bad at all.

Another meaning for "come in", we
also sometimes say: "Come in handy".

If something comes in handy
it means it's very useful.

"Oh, this is a good pen.

This will come in handy when
I'm trying to write my notes."

Right?

So it comes in
handy, very useful.

Now, another meaning that's sometimes a little
bit confusing, if you say to somebody: "Here's

a situation.

We need to...

We need to fix this, and
that's where you come in."

It means: "This is where
you play your role."

So I'm just going to
write this for you.

This is where you come in, this is
where you start doing what you do.

Right?

But you can talk about anything, like,
it doesn't have to be a person.

So we're talking about the government and
we have an election-excuse me-and we have

all these candidates, and there's always going
to be a problem of who gets the most coverage,

that's where the media comes in.

Okay?

So that's where the media enters this
discussion, enters this equation.

The media will play a role in deciding
who gets more coverage on TV.

Okay?

So that's basically
"in", and we've come...

I've looked at all of these, and
let's go a little bit of a review.

And I just remembered, I just came across
another meaning to "come across", okay?

"Come across" also means to find by
accident or to discover something.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that one before,
but I just came across it right now as I was

looking.

If you're walking along the street and you
come across a wallet, you pick it up: "Oh",

you find out who it belongs to,
and you return it to them.

Or if you're reading a newspaper and you come
across some very important information, so

you discover this information and you use
it for whatever you need to use it for.

But now we're actually really good, I've come
across all the meanings that we need to use.
