PHRASAL VERBS FOR SUMMER (COVER-UP)

Welcome to our third Phrasal-Verbs-for-Summer day, everyone! Today we are learning the phrase TO COVER UP. 

Definition 1: To conceal. In the context of summer, it can mean to wear more clothing over a bathing suit, for example.

Example 1: I have to cover myself up before we go into the restaurant. 

Example 2: No one has to cover up on this beach. It’s a nude beach!

NOTE: the word for the dress that women wear over their bathing suits is called a COVER-UP. Now you know why.

There is also another definition for this phrasal verb that you might want to learn too.
