The Meaning of Carry On

To carry on is to behave in a particular way. For example, he carried on as if nothing had happened despite the criticism. There's another use of carry on which is kind of related to both of what we've said already, but slightly different. To carry on without any object, you don't add anything after it. Remember to look at different meanings of phrasal verbs that you're learning and pay attention to if you can separate the particle from the verb.
