Welcome to B2 Upper Intermediate Vocabulary! I am Teacher Sopheak. Today we are tackling one of the most confusing parts of English: phrasal verbs that have more than one meaning.
When my students in Battambang manage logistics for tours or hotels, they quickly realize that a phrase like "pick up" changes completely depending on if they are talking about heavy luggage or a VIP guest at the airport. Let's master these dual meanings.
