| Text | The phrasal verb "to stop by," in this podcast, means to go somewhere for a short period of time, usually informally: "Professor Samuels, may I stop by your office tomorrow to ask you some questions about the homework?" The phrase "to stop in" has the same meaning: "Could you please stop in the post office and buy some stamps on your way home?" The phrase "to stop over" means to have a layover, or to need to spend some time in an airport before getting on another airplane: "We have to stop over in Houston before we can fly on to Portland." The phrase "to stop up" means to block something so that other things cannot move through it: "If you put all that food down the sink, you'll stop up the plumbing." |
