Phrasal Verbs for TRAVEL: "Drop off", "Get in", "Check in", "Check out", and "Pick up"

Hello. Today we are going to talk about Travel. If you like traveling or have plan going on a vacation this will be very helpful to you. We are going to learn some very important verbs, they're all phrasal verbs. Phrasal verb many times we use when we're talking about travel. Phrasal verbs are when verbs added by a preposition. 

When you see a verb and a preposition together that's a phrasal verb. Today, I'm going to give you example of  phrasal verbs they all have the verb such as get get in, get up, get on, get over, get away and  there's tons of them. 

Each of these actually can have multiple meanings too. One of the most difficult parts about English is learning phrasal verbs because they have the preposition. It can change the meaning of the verb. Prepositions are words like on/off, up/down, over, away, etc. So you'll notice them in a very common  conversation. You can write them down too but in general when people talk, they often use phrasal verbs.  They're very important especially when you're talking about going on a trip with your friends or family. 

1. Drop off

"Drop" is the verb, and "off" is the preposition. Together drop off is a phrasal verb. What does this mean? When you drop someone off, it means you're taking them to a place and then you leave them there. For example,  maybe your friend needs to go to the airport, so you drive them to the airport and you drop them off at the airport.

This means you take them there and you leave them in that place. So, they don't come home with you and they stay there. Another example, I have a friend named Frank and when Frank goes travelling we drop Frank off at the airport. 

We drive Frank to the airport. He has all his luggage his suitcases and then we say to Frank goodbye or say have a nice trip. You can also use drop-off in a lot of other situations such as when you were a child maybe your mom or dad dropped you off at school. This means that they took you to school and then once you got to school they would say goodbye to you and they would leave. You notice that the name it's in the middle. You actually can separate and put the name of somebody between the verb and the preposition. 

2. See off

It's similar to "drop off" but it's a little bit different. Sometimes your family or  friends are going away for a long time maybe they're going on a vacation or a trip. So you want to see them off, it means you want to say goodbye to them such as at the airport or train station or maybe at their house. You say goodbye before somebody goes off on a vacation. 

For example, we see Frank off because Frank is going to Australia. So we go to the airport because we want to say goodbye to Frank. When we see Frank off (another way to say we say goodbye to Frank) on his trip all. Similar to drop off, you can also put Frank between the verb and the preposition. Another example you can say to see our mother off, we see our father off ,we see our friend off. So this is the way you use this phrasal verb. 

3. Take off

Our next phrasal verb is very important when we're talking about the airport. If you've ever been on an airplane you should know this word "take off".  The meaning of take off is when the airplane leaves the airport and flies away we could say that the airplane takes off. The opposite of lands is takes off. To take off means that the airplane goes up into the sky. You sometimes see people say the plane takes off at seven o'clock. In this case takes and off  are together and added by the plane (noun) we can not separating them. 

4. Get in

This also has to do with the airplane. It is when plane arrives at an airport. For example Frank's plane gets in at 9:00 p.m. We can also use this for a person. When you say Frank gets in at 9:00 p.m. We could also use this for train such as Frank's train gets in at 9:00 p.m. We use it a lot when we're talking about transportation like planes and trains. 

5. Check in

Check in check in and check out are very important when you stay at a hotel or a hostel. When you check in this means you register at the hotel. For example, I want to stay at a hotel, I want to sleep at the hotel, so I should go to the hotel and there's somebody at the front desk and I say to them I would like to check in.

The the opposite of this is check out. This is when you leave the hotel and you pay them the money for your stay. Maybe you go to the hotel for five days and when you leave the hotel you pay for those five days that's when you check out.

6. Set out

When you set out it means you start something. Such as start a journey or you sometimes start a road or trip. It's the beginning a journey or a trip. For example, imagine Frank at the hotel and he wants to go on an adventure. He wants to explore maybe he wants to explore Sydney. So we can say Frank set out early to explore. 

This means that Frank starts his journey early. If you've ever gone on a road trip where you drove your car somewhere very far or maybe have drove your car for three days to go somewhere you can say every day we set out early or we set out late so this means we began our trip early or we began our trip late so set out means to start a journey.

7. Pick up

There's many different meanings of the word pick up. You can pick up the phone or you can pick something up with your hand. In this case, it's a little bit different when we're talking about travel. When talking about about pickup here, you get someone from a place and then you take them to another place. For example, when Frank arrives at this city, I will pick Frank up from the airport and take Frank home. 

Usually you pick somebody up with your car and you take them somewhere else. Such as Michelle picks Frank up in her car from his long trip in Australia so it means she picks him up with her car or she takes him from the airport to his house.
