Jack
You’re listening to the A-Z English podcast.
00:00:15
Jack
Welcome to the A-Z English podcast. My name is Jack and I’m here with my co-host social. And today we are going to do a language tips episode and we’re going to do some 3 phrasal verbs that use the verb do.
00:00:30
Jack
And the first one is to do away with Xochitl. What does it mean to do away with something?
00:00:39
Xochitl
You will know something.
00:00:40
Xochitl
Is to get rid of it.
00:00:44
Xochitl
Essentially so. Ohh, did you hear that McDonald’s did away with the Mcrib on their menu? Ohh, no. That was my favorite menu item. It’s basically McDonald’s. Discontinued or got?
00:00:50
Jack
Right.
00:00:57
Xochitl
Rid of that product.
00:01:00
Xochitl
Yes, I think that’s essentially what it means.
00:01:03
Jack
I have a good one. We did one A-Z English news story and then we quit so we could say we decided to do away with A-Z English news, you know.
00:01:17
Xochitl
Right. Yeah, it is. In this current events is no more. We have done away with it, yeah.
00:01:22
Jack
Right.
00:01:25
Jack
Yeah, we, we quit it to quit. Something do away with it.
00:01:29
Xochitl
It said something to get rid of something. Discontinue something. Yeah.
00:01:32
Jack
Right.
00:01:33
Jack
Exactly. Now what about do over to do do something over?
00:01:40
Xochitl
Do something over is to give it another shot. As we were talking about in our sound very episode. Give it another try or just simply do it again and usually you want to do over when you fail. So let’s say you’re on cheerleading tryouts.
00:01:59
Xochitl
And you, you know, we’re supposed to do some kind of flip in the air and instead you tripped and fell flat on your face. And they’re like, OK, you’re out of here and you’re like, no, give me a do over. I swear I can do it this time.
00:02:11
Xochitl
That would be.
00:02:13
Xochitl
A do over.
00:02:15
Jack
Yeah, a do over right and that would be a noun, right? Because that’s a thing, like the thing that you do. And then if we want to use it as a verb, you have to put something in the middle between do and over. So if you, if you if I gave you a homework assignment and then you gave it to me and I looked at it and I go.
00:02:30
Xochitl
Right.
00:02:32
Jack
This homework assignment is not good enough. You need to do it over means you need to do it again. Do it over. Yeah, good. OK.
00:02:42
Xochitl
Right, right.
00:02:44
발표자
Alright, I.
00:02:45
Jack
Yeah, like that cause we use both, right? A do over is really like when kids are playing games and stuff, there’s like no do over do over do over, yeah.
00:02:51
Xochitl
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that’s really cute. One. Yeah. It’s. We haven’t said one time. It’s like the multiverse. Idioms are like the multiverse of.
00:03:01
Xochitl
English because there’s many different meanings to 1 idiom sometimes, which I think is neat.
00:03:07
Jack
All right, so so I’ve got one more for us here. This one is do without what does it mean to do without something?
00:03:15
Xochitl
To do about something is to make do, or essentially to substitute it. You’re OK without that, so in the.
00:03:26
Xochitl
Episode or an episode where we talked about song lyrics where Ariana Grande is talking about breaking free from her relationship. She can do without that relationship. She’s better off without that relationship. UM, another example would be, let’s say that you’re cooking something and you don’t have any garlic powder.
00:03:47
Xochitl
Anymore. But you have fresh garlic, so you just mince that and add it to the dish you did without the garlic powder because there was something else to substitute.
00:03:57
Jack
Again, I’ve got one sentence here. It’s like we forgot to buy milk, so we’ll have to do without it for tonight. You know, it’s like, yes, tonight we have to do without the milk because we forgot to buy it. We don’t have it. So, you know. And you could also, sometimes you could say, like, you know.
00:03:58
Xochitl
So this.
00:04:17
Jack
You know, like, like I’m trying to think like, if you’re eating dinner with someone or something or you, your, your mom packs you a lunch for school or something. And she says, Ohh, no, I don’t have any more apple juice. And you say that’s OK, mom, I can do without. I can do without it.
00:04:36
Xochitl
Right.
00:04:38
Xochitl
Well, I don’t need it. I don’t need it. We’re OK for tonight. We don’t need it for tonight. Let’s just get on with it without it.
00:04:48
Xochitl
