  Hey, everybody.

• 00:01

  Welcome to another phrasal verb episode.

• 00:04

  I hope you're doing excellent.

• 00:07

  I'm glad to be back and recording because I was on vacation for a little bit, and I'm going to talk a little bit about that in a couple normal podcast episodes.

• 00:22

  So you'll hear about that soon, I believe.

• 00:26

  Uh, I always forget what order I'm releasing these episodes in, but in a couple normal episodes, you'll hear about my trip.

• 00:37

  But today we're gonna focus on a couple more phrasal verbs.

• 00:43

  So the first one we're gonna look at is band together, and the other one is ban bang up.

• 00:53

  And this one is usually used in the passive voice, like to be banged up or to get banged up.

• 01:03

  Okay, so let's start with band together.

• 01:08

  Let me first define this phrasal verb.

• 01:12

  To band together means to join together as a group in order to be able to do something better.

• 01:21

  Okay.

• 01:22

  For example, I could say, let's band together to solve this issue.

• 01:29

  So here I'm saying that we should join together, we should put our efforts together in order to better solve this issue.

• 01:41

  It will be better than if we didn't do it together.

• 01:47

  Okay, so that's band together and then bang up means to damage something badly.

• 01:57

  And like I said, you'll usually hear this in the passive voice.

• 02:02

  For example, my car got pretty banged up from the accident, or my car was pretty banged up from the accident.

• 02:13

  This just means that my car got pretty damaged.
