00:00:10,599 --> 00:00:14,480
Friday with a quick one point lesson to help you

4
00:00:14,599 --> 00:00:18,640
learn a new phrasal verb and sound more natural when

5
00:00:18,839 --> 00:00:22,519
you speak. By the way, if you want to see

00:00:22,559 --> 00:00:26,039

00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:33,079
English Michael on YouTube. Today's frasal verb is chip in.

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,479
When you chip in, it means you contribute money, effort,

9
00:00:38,759 --> 00:00:44,320
or help towards something, especially when everyone gives a little

10
00:00:44,679 --> 00:00:49,320
to make something happen. For example, at the office, we

11
00:00:49,439 --> 00:00:53,439
all chipped in to buy a birthday gift for our manager.

12
00:00:54,119 --> 00:00:57,399
And last weekend my friends chipped in to rent a

13
00:00:57,439 --> 00:01:01,439
cabin in the mountains. And at home, my neighbors and

14
00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:05,040
I chipped in to help our elderly neighbor clean up

15
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,959
his yard. It was a nice way to do something together.

16
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:15,239
And here's a pronunciation tip. Chip in sounds like chip

17
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,760
in the p at the end of chip links within,

18
00:01:20,359 --> 00:01:24,719
so it sounds like chip in chip in. So how

19
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,439
about you, When was the last time you chipped in

20
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,879
for something, maybe a gift, a party, or a project.
