Hello everybody! *Hi

I'm sure that all of you do love Phrasal Verbs :mrgreen:
In this topic, I'm going to add short episodes ; each one contains a phrasal verb. What you've to do is to explain the meaning of it, after that I'll add some notes about it then I'll write down a new one and so on *sla
So this topic is going to enrich our phrasal verbs and let us know how to use them properly :wink:

I brought them from a very good reference. The BBC 8) We can share this valuable material and practise our English together :wink: Cheating is not allowed at all :mrgreen:

Well, here we go

Series 1

FRED AND BETTY: IS THIS THE END?


Fred and Betty have been dating for years. They have always been a very happy couple... or have they?

Episode 1: Betty's angry


Betty: Fred, I found out about you and that other girl. How could you do this to me?!

Has Fred really got another lady? Surely not!!!

We'll see in the comming Episodes :mrgreen:

So who 'll tell us what does 'find out about' mean? *ممم

عبير,

It is a very important topic; but it seems that the Artenians prefer to participate in "Art-en Cafe" Section. Maybe they find it more 'useful' than here. :mrgreen:

Anyway, I'm going to be the first one to participate.

It seems so :mrgreen: (unfortanately)
Ala Al-Ibrahim, فارس,
You are the most welcome in this topic *1 *1
Thanks a lot for participating. I think Fares's answer is more accurate but also Ala's is right in this context :wink:

Well, Here is the explanation :wink:

Find out about
Meaning: if you find out about something, you discover a fact or information that you did not know before, often because someone was keeping it secret.

Grammar: This phrasal verb needs an object. You can not separate the verb from its particles.

He found out about the theft - RIGHT

He found the theft out about- WRONG
He found it out about - WRONG

He found out it about - WRONG

Example sentence: Jonathan didn't find out about the missing money until the police wrote to him.

Synonyms: discover, catch on to, detect, unearth


Now let's move to Episode 2

Episode 2: Not Guilty!

Fred: Betty, you've got to believe me! I would nevercheat on you Betty!
Does Betty believe Fred?
