PARTY TIME!

Funky Phrasals brings you some useful ways of talking about a party.
To make things easier, we have broken the phrasal verbs down into two parts.

• to come over
• to join in
• to get down

VICKI:Let’s have a BBC Learning English party!
MATT:Yeah, why don’t you come over and join in?
VICKI:Even if you can’t come over here, you can still join in with our party!

MATT:Oooooh I like this song Vicki – come on – let’s dance!
VICKI:This is a great song to dance to. And the lyrics even say ‘get down’ which means to dance.
MATT:Yeah it’s quite informal and you hear it a lot in songs, especially in American English. Hey - look at Paul, he’s really getting down.

Part 2

• to put on
• to get something in
• to eat up
• to drink up

 VICKI:Hey Matt). Why don’t you put another CD on so we can dance a bit more?
MATT:OK. I’ve just bought a new party CD. I’ll put that on now!

VICKI: Mmmm – this party food is delicious. But did you get enough food in for all of your guests?
MATT:Oh yes, I went shopping yesterday and bought lots of food for the party. Eat up! There’s plenty more….
VICKI:Thanks! It’s great - I’ll have no problem eating this food up – it’s lovely!
MATT:And if you drink up, I’ll go and make you another cocktail!
VICKI:You’re a great host Matt. Hang on then and I’ll finish it.
