And today we're gonna talk about 10 phrasal verbs for business. So let's go

The first phrasal verb is step up step up means to move up or to level up

Usually to some kind of new challenging position or to a challenging project

So I want to step up and do more for my company or I want to step up and take on this project

There's a nuance of a challenge a move upward a promotion perhaps and new challenges new

Responsibilities so in a sentence the new CEO really stepped up on this project great

The next word is the opposite step down to step down

Often means to resign or to quit one's job, especially at the higher levels of business

so a CEO might step down from his position or her position if they've made a big mistake or if the company has had

Problems so sometimes this can mean resign

Sometimes this means just moving to a lower position in the company

You can you'll have to look into the specifics of the situation

To figure out exactly the meaning but step down means to go to a position of lower

Responsibility. So in a sentence following multiple serious mistakes the government official stepped down

The next expression is measure up measure up is a word or a phrasal verb that we use to mean compare

We say how does something measure up or does this measure up to?

Equal to item B is item a better than item B

This is a question or a word that we use to ask how one thing compares to another thing

So like how does candidate a measure up to candidate B is a question of comparison between these two these two items

Or does this project measure up to our past work?

In other words is this project equal to or is it comparable to our past works?

So measure up is used when comparing two things

So in a sentence, how does the new plan measure up to our past ideas?

The next expression we've talked about step up step down now. We'll talk about step aside. So step aside

It doesn't mean necessarily to move up in in position or to move down in position

But step aside means just temporarily to remove someone or to remove yourself from a situation

But maybe in a very crowded space like let's step aside and have this

Discussion you can use that in a business meeting as well - step aside is to remove

yourself from a main group or from one situation

Temporarily mmm. That's how we use step aside

So in a sentence the company feels you should step aside like please move away from this project

The next expression is swoop in swoop in so we use swoop for example with birds

We can say the bird swooped in but in a business situation

it's somebody usually someone a person or maybe a team that

Suddenly joins the company or suddenly joins a project and maybe makes a lot of changes

so for example a a consulting firm might swoop in to a situation or might swoop in to a project or

Maybe the boss swooped in to the meeting and made a lot of changes. So these

These sentences these are situations where something

suddenly happens by a one person or by a group of people in another sentence the consultant swooped in and changed around our

The next phrasal verb is shake up shake up means to make a lot of changes at one time or two maybe change

Atmosphere or to change a company feeling this can also be applied to situations

Outside of work like maybe art for example other industries

manufacturing industry it means to make changes for so one person or one group makes changes so you could say for example

Smartphone industry when it introduced the iPhone so it means to make changes or to bring about new change in a sentence

She really shook up our department with her innovative ideas

The next expression is come online come online. So this is interesting

Of course, you're watching this video presumably probably on the internet online right now

But the expression come online means become able to use something

Usually publicly or at least within your company

So when a new project comes online, it means it's it's now available

It can be used or it can be purchased. We typically use this expression for some kind of service

An application or something that other people can use so come online means become available

Come online means become available in a sentence then our new service is going to come online at the end of the month

The next expression is expand into expand into so we can use expand into to mean moving

More or moving to another place or to another industry with your business

operations so we can use perhaps a country or a region after this expression or we can use an

Industry name after this expression so you can say we want to expand into China

We want to expand into Japan with our business or you can say we want to expand into the electronics industry

We want to expand into the service industry

You want your company to move in expand into so in a sentence. We'd like to expand into some other markets

The next expression is to bring about to bring about means to make something happen to cause something to happen

We often use this to talk about change. I can be positive or it can be negative

I feel I tend to use this more in a positive situation, but that might just be me

So to bring about means to cause something or yet to make something happen

In a sentence, don't you think we should try to bring about change in our company?

Take on the next expression is take on so take on if you if you can kind of make a visual

With this phrasal verb, you can take something and attach it to yourself to take on

something but this thing you're taking is

So to take on something it has the nuance of a challenge or a new responsibility

It's something that is generally seen as positive

But perhaps could be maybe a lot of new work or a big new project. For example

So I might say I want to take on some new

Projects this year or you could use it outside of business like in a kind of aggressive

Situation like like I tried to take on a really big guy at the club, but he punched me so

You could use this too, but it has the nuance of challenge ever every time you use it

So in a different sentence I was asked to take on more

That's the end. So those are 10 - phrasal verbs for business
