First of all...Please no one jump down my throat for answering....Antonio said:Hi Group,
The following phrasal verbs, they all mean the same thing, or they have their differences in meanings?
Hi Antonio;Antonio said:Hey DDT no problem man, we're all here to learn. Thank you for censored that for me. I'II always keep that in mind, that everytime I post a swear word that I don't know and I wanna know. I'II censor myself to not hurt someone's feelings or to not be offended by the or my post.
Anyway moving on, te gato, mentioned that is phrasal verbs mean to have sex and to have fun. Can someone please, using this phrasal verbs, give me an example for to have fun.
By the way, their are other synonymous to use this phrasal verb with the same meaning or not? Please let me know, if there are more.
Antonio;Antonio said:Thank te gato, but I mean synonymous similar to this phrasal verbs, are there more in English or only this ones that I posted in this thread?
I remember one day, I was eating pizza with a friend, and the pizza was too hot, that the guy who served the pizza said to me "No fooling around" what was he traying to imply?
Antonio;Antonio said:te gato, thank you for all your answers, I really appreaciate that. I know that I made a huge mistake, that why, I said to DDT sorry, and it won't happend again, I promise, and take my word for it, I'II censored all the posts, that include swear words and so on.
Sorry for that again, if you got offended, my apoloigies to you also. If you have more synonymous of this phrasal verbs or if you know the meaning of what I posted above, please let me know.
Antonio, I don't think you are getting the "big picture" here.Antonio said:Hi Group,

Antonio, I AGREE that it is necessary to find out what things mean. The problem with swear words is a complicated one.Antonio said:Gaer, take it easy, as I was saying previuosly in my last post. I'm very sorry that people got offend by this thread. DDT helped me out to censor part of the F Word, I'm really sorry about that, I promise that I'II censor every swear word that I post from now on, and take my word for it.
But as you know, I gotta learn this word, it is necessarily and helpful in some situations. That doesn't mean, I'm gonna say it all the time, only when it is necessarily to use it, in the right time and in the right place. My main question was this, is there in English more phrasal verbs that have the same meaning or not?
Most 12 year-olds know more bad words than WE do! That's the problem. They have to pretend they don't know them, and we have to pretend we don't KNOW that they know them! But I just love it when one of my students goof and use something "bad". My standard reply: "If you use it, I get to use it too, so if you tell you parents on me, I'll tell them YOU said it FIRST!"Sharon said:(Sigh.)
Yes, there are, but they are all rude. I don't think anyone easily offended would have read this far. I don't think there are any words a twelve year old wouldn't know, so there is also:
farting around
dicking around
pissing around
I can't think of any others.

That paragraph was very good! Only one typo and an extra comma.Antonio said:gaer, thank you for pointing out my mistakes in grammar. Yes, I do recognize that grammar is not my stongest part of English. But everytime I write something, for some reason, I make less and less grammatical mistakes.
Absolutely. I would NEVER discourage anyone from trying. And I would never discourage anyone from asking questions. But some people don't always listen to the answers before they ask MORE questions.Before I was worse, to be honest with you. But the greatest part, is that, at this point, I'm still learning like you, in the same boat.
I agree, but I will repeat that it is necessary to understand them. It is not necessary to USE them. And it's dangerious to do so until you know what you're doing. Trust me. There is nothing more embarrassing than trying to sound "cool" when you end up saying something insulting, by mistake.As for idioms and slang, well you have many, and you use them a lot all the time. If I don't ask questions, how can I learn? Because some vocabulary are not listed in the books.
I assure you Germans have accents just as much as people who grow up speaking only French or Spanish!Antonio said:Sharon and Gaer, thank you for all your comments. I'II work on my grammar from now on, but if I make a few mistakes, I won't bother if you correct the few mistakes that I made, because as I was saying previosly, we're all here to learn in the first place.
Gaer, to answer your question about idioms, I honestly think that English and Spanish have a lot of idioms in common, of course, a few of them change a bit. But in most of the cases, their are pretty much the same thing, and I feel identify with the lenguage, because I feel confortable using it. Sometimes I feel, like I'm talking in Spanish instead of English.
As for German, I understand that German and English are pretty similar in grammar and pronunciation. So I think, that the real reason why Germans don't have accent when they talk in English is because of their own lenguage. As simple as that, for French people is the other way around and you can still feel their accent but for German people in most of the cases not.
