Hi everyone...
I just wanted to ask how I could use the phrasal verbs "give out" and "come up with". Anyone who can help me I would appreciate it... See ya! |
give out:
1. to distribute: he gave out the books to all the class
2. (informal) to fail: the brakes have given out
3. to make known: to give out notices/information
come up with:
To bring forth, discover, or produce (something), especially when pressured or challenged.: came up with a cure for the disease;
to suggest or think of an idea or plan: She's come up with some amazing scheme to double her income. |
