15 PHRASAL VERBS with meanings you can’t guess!
Want to *beef up* your English skills? Native English speakers love to talk about food and to use food images to express ideas. This includes using phrasal verbs where the verb is from food, eating, or cooking. But the meaning of the phrasal verb in total often doesn’t have to do with food at all. In this lesson, we’ll look at some of these phrasal verbs, including "duck down", "clam up", "beef up", "chew out", "swallow up", "chicken out", "chew over", "veg out", "boil over", "cut up", "milk for", "fish through", "pan out", and more! Watch the video, then take the quiz: www.engvid.com/15-food-phrasal-verbs-with-meanings-you-cant-guess/
