Lesson 191--pull oneself together




This phrasal verb is only used with pronouns ending in -self (himself, yourself, herself etc.)  It means recover, feel better, become calm and focused.  It is quite a useful phrasal verb.

e.g. After panicking, he pulled himself together and carried on.

       Pull yourself together, or we will lose the game.

       They pulled themselves together and got back to work.
