Hey everyone!
I've got some phrasal verb practice for you today!
Do you know what these phrasal verbs with 'turn' mean?? 😁✋
Turn into has one meaning, but the rest have multiple meanings.
Here are some dialogues to illustrate the differences. 😀😀
Definitions are written at the end. 😊😊
1.
- Could you turn down the music, please? It's way too loud.
- Okay, but could you turn up the air-conditioning? It's so hot in here!!
2.
- So then he said that we couldn't meet anymore and that we should stop texting...
- But didn't you say that he showed up at work yesterday??
- Yes! He just turned up and acted like nothing had happened and then he asked me when I was free for dinner!!
- How weird!
3.
- How did your second job interview go?
- Pretty well. They offered me the job!
- Congratulations!! When do you start??
- I don't! I turned it down! Apparently, I'd have to move to Sweden after training to cover a position there and I don't want to move.
- Sweden? They never mentioned that!
- Exactly.
- That's too bad.
4.
- Haven't you turned on the television yet? The show is about to start!
- Oh, I forgot! Let me turn off the oven first so I don't burn dinner.
- Don't worry, I'll do it!
5.
- How was your date last night?
- Well, he was really nice and... so polite. I never thought I'd be turned on by someone's manners before!
- Does that mean you'll be seeing him again?
- Yes, definitely!!
6.
- Why are you back so early? I thought you were spending the day at the beach?
- I was, but I got so turned off by the amount of people there... and there were really big waves as well.
- Oh, that's a shame.
- Not only that, I was turned off by how dirty the beach was. So many people left litter in the sand and it really pissed me off!
- That's terrible.
7.
- Where are you going? I told you to turn off at the exit and you just passed it!!
- You never said to turn off there!! You said to turn off at the last exit before the bridge!
- That was the last exit before the bridge!!
- I don't believe this!! Now we have to circle around somehow!!!
- Don't turn on me! I told you where you had to go!
8.
- What have you got there?
- New toys! Look!!
- Wow! That's so cool! You turned that horse into a giraffe! How did you do that?
- Isn't it awesome? Look at this one! You can turn a cube into a sphere!!
- These toys remind me of Transformers. They were toy cars that turned into robots!
- Oh, I remember watching a movie about them!
