PHRASAL VERBS THROUGH SONGS: TAYLOR SWIFT 'LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO'

Hello, everyone!

We are on day four of our Phrasal-verbs-through-songs week, and today we are looking at a pop song from late last year: Taylor Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do." The phrasal verb we're looking at in this song is TO MOVE ON. 

There are several definitions of this phrasal verb. Two can be used with the context of this song. 

Definition 1 (related to emotion): to accept that a situation has changed and to be ready to deal with new experiences (usually life after a relationship is over).

Definition 2 (related to activities or attention): to start a new activity or change the focus of attention to something else. 

Lyrics:
The world moves on, another day, another drama, drama
But not for me, not for me, all I think about is karma
And then the world moves on, but one thing's for sure (sure)
Maybe I got mine, but you'll all get yours

Example 1: After the divorce, Tom needed three years before he finally moved on. Now, he's dating Sarah and he's happy.

Example 2: When Jim's wife died, he said it felt like the world moved on without him. He was left with memories and no chance to make new ones without his love.  

Example 3: The workers first focused on the building's roof, then they moved on to repair the windows. 

Example 4: After students pass the Cambridge FCE, many move on to study for the Cambridge CAE. 

This phrasal verb is intransitive.

That's all for today. Tomorrow, we are looking at another pop song, and one that probably everyone knows: Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn."

Have a great day!
