Phrasal Verbs: HANG OUT vs RUN AWAY 🤙🏃

M

Hey! I'm Mia 👋

Your phrasal verbs coach
What's up, everyone! I'm gonna teach you phrasal verbs the way we actually use them in real life. No fancy stuff, just the real vibe from someone who lives on the streets, at the murals, hanging out with friends.

What we're learning today

HANG OUT

Spend time together, chill, socialize

RUN AWAY

Escape, flee, get away

Mia's tip: These two phrasal verbs are practically opposites! One is about staying together, the other is about getting away. Got it? 🎯

HANG OUT

/hæŋ aʊt/

To spend time together in a casual and relaxed way

🇧🇷 Sair, ficar junto, curtir

Usage contexts

🏙️ With friends (socializing)
🎮 No specific plans
Casual places (park, café)
💬 Informal conversations

Real examples

1 Casual invitation

"Wanna hang out after school?"

2 Current moment

"We're just hanging out, doing nothing special"

3 Past habit

"I used to hang out at that skate park"

Mia's tips

Super informal! Use with friends

🚫

Don't use in formal contexts

💡

Can use without saying where: 'Let's hang out!'

'Hanging out' = doing it right now

RUN AWAY

/rʌn əˈweɪ/

To leave/escape quickly from a place or situation

🇧🇷 Fugir, escapar, dar o fora

Usage contexts

🏃 Physical escape (running)
😰 Avoiding problems
💔 Escaping situations
🚪 Leaving everything behind

Real examples

1 Literal escape

"He ran away from home when he was 15"

2 Metaphorical

"Don't run away from your problems"

3 Avoiding confrontation

"She ran away from the conversation"

Mia's tips

Opposite of 'hang out'

🎭

Can be literal or figurative

😬

Implies avoiding something uncomfortable

🏃‍♀️

Always involves movement/distance

Time to practice! 🎯

Let's see if you got the difference between these two

Situation 1

"Dude, let's _________ at the park this afternoon?"

Situation 2

"She _________ from the conversation when they asked about her ex"

Situation 3

"We used to _________ at that diner every day"

Mia's tip: Think of it this way - "hang out" is when you WANT to be there, "run away" is when you WANT to leave. Simple as that! 💜
