so yes I know I didn't have a video for you last weekend but don't worry I have come through with an amazing video for you today phrasal verbs were through also thank you to the sponsor of today's video skill share you can improve your English in the best way possible by learning a new skill in English for free for two months by using my link in the description or skip to this time in the video to learn more first pronunciation say these words with me and practice tough though through thought thorough truth I'm kidding that's not a word let's practice with the sentence this one my plan didn't work I thought it through thoroughly though I thought it through thoroughly though now you say it I'm sure you are perfect that's for you [Music] okay first I need to explain that phrasal verb you don't know that one okay well this phrasal verb it's a bit flexible basically basically it means someone really needs something you give it to them for example oh hey I I heard you needed a phone charger so I brought you one from home are you legend thank you so much what am i whenever I need a phone charger he always comes through or maybe someone really needs your help and you support them for example she was very very sick and her friend brought her soup every day really took care of her so she really needed his support and he gave her support he really came through for her notice that we used for she can simply say I needed support and he really came through but to be specific she's saying he really came through for me so if you put the person or the receiver of the support you need for for me for the person also also notice this isn't for something small for example like we go for coffee and you pay for me it's very nice but that's not exactly to come through for me no if we go for coffee and I'm like oh my god I forgot my wallet I don't have any money I'm so sorry I'm worried I really need some help here and you because you're amazing you say don't worry I've got these coffees and here's some money so you can get home in that case you come through for me because it's something I really really need in another context perhaps more common context you know when you send someone a message and your Wi-Fi goes down your Wi-Fi stops working and you're not sure if your message sent to the person or not you want to know hey did my message send to you you'll ask this hey I sing you a message did it go through did it send did it go through but when you talk about receiving a digital message text email application form hmm no I didn't receive anything nothing came through go through it sends come through you receive the message a really common use of a verb Plus through it means movement in the middle of something for example oh my god to get here it was so busy I walked through the streets and I had to push through a bunch of people so you walk in the middle of the streets you push in the middle of a bunch of people you can change this verb and that changes how you move run through the streets walk through the streets jump through the streets dance through the streets if you really want to nice and easy you change this verb you changed the type of movement another way that the verb with through works is you want to explain to or show someone what is going to happen for example at an event at a meeting or you have plans or a list of things are going to happen you want to explain that to someone for example a colleague at work wants to know what is going to happen at tomorrow's meeting they might say can you run me through tomorrow's meeting in other words can you explain to me all the things that are going to happen other ways you can say this exact same thing can you talk me through can you walk me through or can you go through in this case we go through don't put me or an object in the middle so can you go me through tomorrow's meeting that doesn't make sense but can you talk me through can you walk me through tomorrow's meeting again all of this means can you explain to me or can you show me what's going to happen tomorrow at the meeting at this event for this plan and you can kind of understand the differences there are little differences between the verbs this from the context you know it means explain and the verb changes how you explain for example run me through that's fast okay so explain quickly talk me through explain using your words walk me through maybe not necessarily with your words maybe it means show me show me what's going to happen go through that's more general it could mean talk it could mean show just basically explain to me what's gonna happen so he could reply yeah yeah give me five minutes I'll go through everything in detail these next few verbs plus through imply a bad experience a bad time a difficult situation for example to go through I know go through has so many meanings but in this context go through means you have a difficult situation in general a very bad experience for example this person has a bad illness or someone she knows has died she feels really bad it's a bad situation use go through to describe the situation for example oh she's really going through a tough time two things one going through I've used the continuous because she is she is really going through a tough time second tough it means difficult pronunciation tough I feel bad for her she's really going through a tough time I'm sorry I'm going through a lot at the moment um she could even be specific about what the bad situation is for example you break up with your boyfriend girlfriend whatever you could say I'm sorry I'm really sad I'm going through a breakup now when you hear that someone is going through something it's not something small like a cold it's probably something more serious so just to keep that in mind so let's imagine this guy last year he was very very sick maybe he had cancer that's quite serious we could say last year he went through a lot I mean the man had cancer but what happened next he got better now he's completely fine so when someone had like a very serious illness then they get better and now they're fine we say yeah he had cancer last year he went through a lot but who he pulled through and he's fine so to pull through yeah it means you had something bad but that's finished and now you're great you pulled through and finally if you cause someone else to have a bad situation then you put them through something for example he broke up with his girlfriend on her birthday that is terrible that's terrible he caused her to have a bad situation a bad experience so her friend will say how could you put her through this in other words how could you cause her this bad situation um actually this is not always that you cause someone else to have a bad situation it could mean that you creates a bad situation for yourself if this happens they just broke up he put her through some heartbreak but then he's all like Oh take me back I still love you and she's like yeah of course because whoever I agree why are you getting back together don't put yourself through this again in other words she is saying don't give yourself that bad situation again the next one you have a plan with you mates your friends to go on holiday then you are about to book the tickets to fly then you mate text you hey sorry I can't go anymore something came up boom so if you have plans but those plans fail we say that those plans fall through so if a friend asks aren't you going on holiday no not anymore the plans fell through practise this vocabulary in the comments tell me about a time when you had plans but they fell through what happened why who's to blame who's the bad friend the next one okay if you've in this video then you already know that see-through means when someone lies to you you understand their lies you don't believe it for a second for example yeah of course I love you I love only you in fact I would never even look at another girl I love only you you're my angel my princess please everyone sees through your lies and finally my favorite one to sleep through now you're asleep and some noise is happening but you don't hear it you continue to sleep in the middle of this noise oh my god how did you sleep through that last night those two they were banging all night more commonly it's with your alarm oh my god oh my god I slept through my alarm now be careful we don't separate this it's not I slept my alarm through no we don't separate that I slept through my alarm I slept through all the noise last night I slept through the storm so also maybe you noticed that some of these phrasal verbs have multiple meanings like go through that has a few different meanings but don't worry with the context people will understand you also maybe you noticed that I like to tell teeny tiny creative stories in my lessons to help you learn the vocabulary better I think being creative is super
