I'm going to describe a situation where we would use this phrasal verb and I want you to guess whether point out means a do something quickly, b indicate or comment or c recommend something. All right you can post your guess in the comments to this video. Let's say I'm talking to my friend and my friend is going crazy. She's really upset and really worried because she read an article on Facebook that says a new scientific study found that her favorite food is actually really bad for for your health and it might even cause cancer. So now my friend is really worried about her health and she's wondering if she has cancer because she has eaten a lot of this particular food. In this situation I would point out that she shouldn't believe everything she reads on Facebook because it might not be true. So maybe she should do a little bit more research before getting really worried about her health. Based on this example, what does it mean to point out a, b or c? Post your answer in the comments and I will reveal what's correct in just a moment. Point out means b to indicate or comment. This phrasal verb is a little difficult to give a really specific definition for but the verb but the verb point by itself is a physical action that means to do this with your finger. It's a physical action that we use to call attention to or indicate some object. Now point out refers to verbal communication. So when we point something out it means we call attention to a particular fact by speaking. So in this example, when my friend was really worried, I pointed out I commented or called her attention to the fact that not everything written on Facebook is true. So now that you know what it means to point something out, try to use this phrasal verb in your own English. Post a sentence and try to use it. I look forward to reading your comments.
