RnR Grammar

I mentioned this in the show, but just to have another recap….

We had the phrasal verb ‘end up’ today, when Charlie said ‘ended up in hospital’. Notice there is no verb after this, BUT if there were a verb, it would be in the -ing for.

For example, she could have said “I ended up going to hospital”. Remember, if you don’t know the grammar behind a word, then you don’t know the word baby! 👊
