7. TO MAKE UP What can make up mean? It can mean three things (even more, but let’s stick here for now). Its first meaning is ‘to create’ (to make up a story). Examples: Let’s make up some topic for our party Stop making up excuses. It’s not true. I just made it up. It can also be a noun meaning ‘the cosmetics’. It is what I am trying to wear on my face in this weather! You can say ‘to put on make-up’, ‘to wear make-up’, ‘to remove make-up’ etc. Examples: I am wearing makeup at this moment. And another meaning of ‘to make up’. I’ve already talked about it in one of my videos. To make up means ‘to become friends again after the fight’. When you have a fight, it is to fall out. But when you stop having troubles in relationships, it’s to make up. Examples: We fell out a week ago, but we have already made up. = ‘we are friends again’. They argue a lot, but they always kiss and make up. 8. TO MAKE OUT One of the meanings of this extra-popular phrasal verb is ‘to understand from listening’ or ‘to see in the dark’, to be able to understand and see. Examples: What did you say? I couldn’t make it out. She can’t make out what he is saying. I am not sure it was him. It was difficult to make him out. There is no word for it in English, you can only express this idea with the help of this phrasal verb. 9. TO FILL IN / TO FILL OUT There are two different versions of the phrasal verb meaning ‘to complete’. In British English, we will say to fill in. Please fill in this form. Can you fill in this form? In American English, we will say to fill out: Can you fill out this form? I need to go and fill out my visa application. 10. TO GIVE UP And the last but not the least. It’s one of the most used phrasal verbs in English. To give up means ‘to stop’ but it’s more emotional. You give up when you stop trying. Examples: I’ve given up learning German. Don’t give up trying to make money online. One day it will work! I didn’t know you gave up yoga.
