Hi everyone! Welcome back to another English learning podcast. Today, we're going to talk about the phrasal verb "end up". This is a very common phrasal verb in English, and it's important to learn how to use it correctly if you want to sound more natural.

So, what does "end up" mean? Well, "end up" is used to describe a situation where you do something that you didn't plan or expect to do. It's often used to describe an unexpected outcome or result of a situation.

Let me give you some examples:

1."I was planning to go to the park, but I ended up staying home all day because it rained."
2."She was trying to find a new job, but she ended up getting promoted at her current job."
3."We were lost in the city and ended up in a neighborhood we'd never been to before."

As you can see, "end up" is used to talk about something that happens unexpectedly, often as a result of circumstances beyond our control.

Another important thing to note about "end up" is that it's always followed by an "-ing" verb. For example, "I ended up watching a movie" or "We ended up eating pizza for dinner."
 
So, that's it for today's podcast! Practice using "end up" in your own conversations, and see how much more natural your English sounds. Thanks for listening, and have a good one.
