1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: I love my watch. It's not a Rolex or anything

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,559
like that, but it was handed down to me by

3
00:00:07,599 --> 00:00:11,599
my grandfather. He was a teacher too, and I remember

4
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:15,560
him telling me stories of how he would hand out

5
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:19,559
the exams to his students, wondering how many of them

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:25,600
would hand it back with all the correct answers. What

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:26,839
a nice memory.

8
00:00:30,239 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: Welcome to another Happy English podcast, coming to you from

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,759
New York City. And here's your English teacher, Michael.

10
00:00:38,359 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: All right, thank you Jan, and thanks everyone. It's Michael

11
00:00:43,039 --> 00:00:47,600
here from Happy English and I help people speak English better.

12
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:53,439
And this is Happy English Podcast Episode seven eighty four.

13
00:00:54,320 --> 00:01:00,240
Hand frasal Verbs. Today we have another phrasal verb English

14
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:07,040
lesson to look at six phrasal verbs with hand. I

15
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,120
really love helping you learn phrasal verbs because they're so

16
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,840
common in everyday English and using them will make your

17
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:21,519
English sound more natural. The first one is hand back.

18
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:27,000
Hand Back means to return or pass something to someone

19
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,159
by using your hands. Like if a classmate asks to

20
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:36,480
borrow your pen, you can say something like this, yeah,

21
00:01:36,599 --> 00:01:40,280
you can borrow my pen, but just remember to hand

22
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,560
it back. Oh, I just remembered I have a few

23
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,519
books that I need to hand back to the library.

24
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:54,680
Hand back. You can hand back something or hand something

25
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,879
back like the teacher handed back are exams and surprisingly

26
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,480
we all did okay. Have you ever gotten something from

27
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,159
an older brother or sister, or maybe one of your

28
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:13,479
grandparents passed something along to you. In that case, you

29
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:18,240
can use hand down, which means to give something to

30
00:02:18,479 --> 00:02:24,759
someone younger or to a successor. And usually you hand

31
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,759
down something that's valuable or something that has sentimental value,

32
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,319
like this necklace was handed down from my grandmother to

33
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,400
my mom. I think a lot of jewelry gets handed down,

34
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:47,639
don't you. Bob's dad handed down his old guitar to him.

35
00:02:48,039 --> 00:02:51,840
Next up, we have three phrasal verbs that talk about

36
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:57,840
how we give something to others. Hand in, hand out,

37
00:02:57,879 --> 00:03:04,199
and hand off. Hand In means to submit something like

38
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,960
homework or a report. I'm sure when you were a student,

39
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,520
you probably heard a teacher say something like, don't forget

40
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:20,120
to hand in your assignment by Friday. Hand in it's

41
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:25,719
a more conversational way to say submit. Are you ready

42
00:03:25,719 --> 00:03:30,280
to quit your job? If so, you need to hand

43
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:35,280
in your resignation letter to the boss. On the opposite

44
00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:40,080
side of hand in, we have hand out, hand out

45
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:45,000
means to distribute something to a group of people. Like

46
00:03:45,919 --> 00:03:49,520
going back to that classroom example, you can say that

47
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,759
the teacher handed out the quizzes at the start of class.

48
00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:58,719
Sometimes here in New York City you can find people

49
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:03,439
handing out sam something like just the other day there

50
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,159
was someone handing out small packages of cookies. They were excellent,

51
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,639
by the way. In a similar way, we have hand off,

52
00:04:13,039 --> 00:04:17,399
which means to pass something to another person by hand,

53
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,160
like at the business conference, after I was done with

54
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:27,439
my presentation, I handed off the microphone to Sarah so

55
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,639
she could address the crowd. During a relay race, the

56
00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:36,959
runners need to smoothly hand off the baton to their teammate.

57
00:04:38,959 --> 00:04:43,439
Oh and speaking of sports, in American football, the player

58
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,079
known as the quarterback hands off the ball to the

59
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:52,319
running back during the game. The last one is hand over.

60
00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:56,680
Sometimes you need to give something to someone when you

61
00:04:56,759 --> 00:05:02,240
don't want to, but you have no choice. In these cases,

62
00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:08,079
you can use hand over. Handover means to give something

63
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:14,759
reluctantly or unwillingly, like when the police stopped my car.

64
00:05:15,319 --> 00:05:19,240
The officer told me to hand over my driver's license

65
00:05:19,439 --> 00:05:26,399
and registration. Then he handed me a speeding ticket. Oh

66
00:05:26,439 --> 00:05:30,120
my goodness. Now I'm going to have to hand over

67
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,319
a lot of money to pay the fine. Next time,

68
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,680
I'd better drive slowly. Keep in mind, the best way

69
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,560
to remember vocabulary like this and any other word or

70
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,959
phrase in English is to take that word or phrase,

71
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,639
write it in a sentence that's true for you or

72
00:05:51,319 --> 00:05:56,240
true in your world, and then memorize your sentences. Hey,

73
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,279
