  • Hey, everybody.

  • Welcome to another phrasal verb episode.

  • I hope you're all doing great, and I hope that you're ready to learn a couple new phrasal verbs.

  • So the two phrasal verbs that we're going to look at today are be cut out for and be in on.

  • I'm not going to do all of the be phrasal verbs.

  • The ones where it's be and then like a phrase after it.

  • I'll do some of them.

  • But I feel like some of these be phrasal verbs feel more like adjectives.

  • They don't feel as much like phrasal verbs as just the other ones that don't have be in them.

  • Because obviously, when there's a be, then the phrase after it is like describing the person or the subject, so it feels more like an adjective phrase.

  • But technically, these are phrasal verbs, so I'm going to include some of these.

  • Like, we'll look at these two today.

  • We'll look at some in the next episode, but I won't go through all of the ones with be.

  • We'll look at the ones that I'm most interested in teaching you.

  • Okay, so first, let's look at be cut out for.

  • So this phrasal verb means to be suitable or have the necessary qualities for something.

  • For example, I could say he's just not cut out for that job.

  • So here what I'm saying is that he just doesn't have the necessary qualities for that job.

  • He just doesn't have what it takes to do well in that job.

  • He's not suitable for it.
