[0:00]Hello and welcome everyone to my YouTube channel. Today we are going to discuss some common phrasal verbs under the title call. Let's begin with meaning and usage with suitable examples. Before moving towards the particular phrasal verbs, let me tell you that how phrasal verbs are combined, what type of parts of speech are being used when they come together, they make phrasal verbs. The very first thing is verb and preposition they make phrasal verbs verbs and adverbs they make phrasal verbs. And apart from that, phrasal verbs do not carry literal meaning. I mean, they don't have literal meaning.
[0:44]Call on call on your literally meaning it carries always meaning. Is the meaning it will be figurative. It will not be literal. These are two three things that we need to know about phrasal verbs. One how they are formed what are their components how are they combined which parts of speech are used as I told you verb and preposition verbs and adverbs these together form phrasal verbs. And they do not have literal meaning they always take figurative meaning, okay so this is a slight test that how they are formed. Let's talk about the phrasal verb call off what is the meaning of call off call off means cancel something. When you have meeting when you have certain arrangements Let's say nowadays suppose we say that exams are going on and weather is bad and all of a sudden you know flood happen government or the authorities have to call off the exams. So students would say that exams have been called off due to bad weather it is the real example or daily life or the routine example when you can use by using the phrasal verb call off. In this way we beautify our language so simply we say that cancel the exams we can say that exams have been called off the meaning of call off phrasal verb call off is to cancel something. If we use it in simple language in simple Urdu if it is said then call off means to cancel something for time being or when its announcement happens or not okay meaning there is a difference in it. Postpone is a different thing call off postpone means that it has been moved forward it is expected that a date will come call off means to cancel it a new date may or may not come that program may also be dismissed. Now why does this happen when do we use call off when you have to cancel something you have to end a program that I was going to Karachi but it rained or the weather is bad or there is no transportation or I can say that due to unavailability of transportation I can not go I may not travel to Karachi therefore I have called off my program to Karachi. Or you can also say that exams have been called off due to bad weather as I gave an example earlier so in this way we will use this phrasal verb call off in routine life. Now come to the call forth call forth the meaning is simple but let me add one thing in it. The meaning is to evoke or bring out a reaction or feelings so it means that something which is not tangible which is invisible and but yet it exists like feelings reactions so reactions are I mean you can not gauge a reaction but we can say that they were angry they were you know very loving so there are so many reaction. So reactions don't have you know tangible or solid shape but it could be feel so this is the meaning of uh call forth. If you take the example, the speech called forth a strong emotional response. I see when your responses when your reactions based on feelings and emotions okay. So that is called call forth. If I put in a simple words in in domestic in Urdu our Urdu language. So we will say call forth that its meaning is to bring something into existence and that existence should be such that we cannot touch it. In most cases it will be like this that it should come in the shape of feelings in the shape of response in the shape of reaction, okay like it was given in this example. that the speech called forth a strong emotional response or response. So you react to something, okay, then we will say call forth. It can come through someone's speech, it can come through someone's letter, just as many revolutions have come through speeches. So this is a reaction, things change, governments topple down. So we can say that there we can use this phrasal verb call forth in routine life. Now come to the phrasal verb call for call for has a very simple meaning to demand or require something. If we go towards examples the situation calls for immediate actions or in routine life we can use another example by saying that your misbehavior or your conduct your code of conduct required explanation so we say that your misbehavior demands required explanation why it is happening why you behave like this.
[5:47]So explanation is needed when something is needed something is required we use the phrasal verb call for and if we put in a in simple language in Urdu we can say that किसी की जरूरत हो किसी चीज की डिमांड की जाए तो उसके लिए हम फजल वर्ब यूज करते हैं कॉल फॉर जिस तरह से रिसर्च पेपर्स में भी लिखवाया जाता है ना जब कोई पेपर्स की डिमांड की जाती है कि कॉल फॉर पेपर तो पेपर की नीड है पेपर की रिक्वायरमेंट है कि हमें जो जनरल में पब्लिकेशन करवानी है तो आपके पास अगर रिसर्च पेपर है तो आप रिसर्च पेपर हमें भेज सकते हैं तो किसी चीज की नीड की अनाउंसमेंट करने के लिए भी हम यह कहते हैं कॉल फॉर So simply it is understood there are two types of usage in this phrasal verb call for to demand something to have a demand for something or to have a requirement for something. Now come to the phrasal verb call out there are two meanings or two usage of phrasal verb call out. One is to shout something loudly and the other one is to tell to challenge some something or someone let's take the example the very first example she called out his name in the crowd so means she was calling out her name his brother names in crowd means loudly there was a crowd so it was not possible for her to to call her brother's name silently or in a modest wise. So she called out means loudly and the other one is he was called out for cheating so it needs it demands you know a little bit explanation so let me explain it that he was called out for cheating means somebody has caught someone while he or she was cheating and she or he was caught out and now she or he was required or demanding to explain his position why she was cheating so she or he is under trial so she was called out for cheating. I hope this makes sense. If we put in in Urdu language in call out to call out has two usages in phrasal verb. One to shout something loudly to call someone loudly or we can say that the teacher called out the students names, obviously loudly that roll number so and so or by taking names so it will mean called out or call out. And the second example is that if you catch someone red-handed cheating or doing something that is not socially acceptable or not in the code of conduct then you will say that his behavior or his action has been challenged, as it was said in the example that he was called out for cheating so he was called out that why were you cheating, like the examiners caught him or anything else that is not socially acceptable or considered bad, then we can also use this phrasal verb called out for that. The other phrasal verb is call on call on has also two meanings or two usage as a phrasal verbs. First one is to visit someone and the other one is to request someone to speak or to do something so if you take the example first example is I called on my friends or I called on my brother yesterday so I visited my brother I met up my brother yesterday. So in this way to the other usage of call on the teacher called on Ali to answer so the teacher asked Ali to answer certain question or to do something. So that is another usage of call on. If I say in Urdu that the call on will have two types of meanings two types of usages. One is that you go to meet someone you visit someone, meaning you have a meeting with someone then you can say you can go anywhere you can meet your brother or whatever you want to use friends meet you go to their house to meet them.
[10:15]So we call that call on that yesterday I called on my friends called on my brother so in this way it will be used to meet someone to meet a person we use this phrasal verb call on and the second meaning and the second usage is that someone any person anyone says something to someone that you say like this then we will also use this phrasal verb call on for that as I gave an example that the teacher called on Ali to answer so the teacher asked Ali to answer this question or to explain this thing or to explain this situation. So there will be two such uses of call on the phrasal verb.
