We all have friends who support us through life and make it fun. Let's learn some new phrasal verbs when we talk about friendships.

1. Hit it off
To form a connection with someone when you meet them for the first time (this could also be said about relationships)
Eg: I met Kevin last Christmas and we hit it off immediately.

2. Get along
To have a good bond or understanding
Eg: I get along with friends really well but not with my little cousin.

3. Count on
To rely or trust
Eg: I can always count on Rehan to help me when I am in need.

4. Stand by
To support you, especially during tough times
Eg: I will always be grateful to Sienne for standing by me when I was in crisis.

5. Rub off
when someone's qualitiies pass on to you mostly because you spend time together.
Eg: Patrick's politeness has rubbed off on me ever since we've been friends.
(Also note that this can be used in a negative tone. Someone's bad qualiities might rub off on you as a result of spending time with them.)
