974 - Find vs. Find Out - Phrasal Verbs in a Minute | Happy English

Is it find or find out? A lot of English learners have this question.

Hey there! It’s Michael here, and welcome back to Phrasal Verbs in a Minute from Happy English. I’m here every Friday with a quick one-point lesson to help you learn a new phrasal verb and sound more natural when you speak.

So yeah, find or find out? Find means to locate a thing.

• I just moved here last year and I'm still trying to find a good pizza shop.
• I found my wallet. It fell behind my desk.

Find out means discover information.

• I found out that my grandfather was a pastry chef.
• Janna found out her boss is gonna quit the company.

So remember, you find a thing, but you find out information.

How about you? What are you trying to find? What have you found out recently? Let me know in the comments, and remember to follow or subscribe so you don’t miss the next Happy English Podcast and next week’s Phrasal Verbs in a Minute.
