Transcript: Hello, and welcome to Speak American English with Lyman Holton. My name is Lyman Holton. In this lesson, we’re going to talk about another American English phrasal verb. Are you ready? Let’s begin. “run after” The phrasal verb “run after” is used when we talk about trying to get to something or someone quickly. Instead of saying “The boy chased our cat.” We could say “The boy RAN AFTER our cat.” Here are a few examples of how to use “run after” in sentences: “Don’t expect me to keep RUNNING AFTER you for your signature all the time.” Why don’t you just sign everything at one time, and not make me crazy? It was a classic accident. The boy rode his bike across the street. “His dog RAN AFTER him and got hit by a car.” It was very sad. I was really lucky this morning. “I was RUNNING AFTER my bus and it actually stopped for me.” That’s never happened before. I guess I really should start leaving my house a little earlier. You know, you’re starting to get on my nerves. “You need to stop RUNNING AFTER me for every little thing you need.” What’s your name anyway? Do you even work here? I need to ask you a question. “Why is it that pretty girls are always RUNNING AFTER you?” I don’t understand. Now, please don’t take this the wrong way, but you are fat, short, bald, smelly, broke, and kind of stupid. So, please tell me, is it just your personality? My dog jumped over our fence again. “I had to RUN AFTER him for two hours,” before I finally caught him. I think I’m going to get a cat. “That guy has been RUNNING AFTER me to buy a car from him for weeks.” I think I’ll wait a few more days before I tell him that I don’t have a driver’s license. I’m trying to decide if that’s cruel or funny. In our next lesson, we’ll cover another American English phrasal verb. Goodbye for now. Phrasal Verb - Run After - Video 40
