English phrasal verb - “Take off (on someone) 🚶🏼🧍🏻 Take Off vs. Take Off (On Someone): What’s the Difference? Take off means to leave or depart quickly. It doesn’t carry any negative meaning. It’s just about leaving, whether it’s a vehicle or a person. Examples: “The plane took off at 9 AM.”“She took off without saying goodbye.” However, “take off (on someone)” means to abandon or leave someone suddenly or unexpectedly, often in a hurtful way.  Examples: “He took off on me when I needed help.”“She just took off on her friends.” “Take off” is neutral and it just means to leave. “Take off on someone” is much more personal, negative and refers to being abandoned by someone. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix ➠@GrammarCards ➠@EnglishGate ➠@StoryPage
