Using This BookThere are thousands of phrasal verbs in English. Some are very common. Some are rare. Some have more than one meaning. g. This book practises over 700 with more than. 1,000 meanings.

Phrasal verbs can be organisedThis book organises them in different ways - by particle, by verb, and by topic. The more different ways you meet these verbs, the more you will learn.

If you are learning English in classYour teacher can only spend a small amount of time teaching you phrasal verbs. You must spend time at home learning them for yourself. The more you study at home, the better your English will become.

If you are learning English on your own without a teacherit is better to do a little at regular intervals, rather than a lot at one time, and then nothing for weeks.

If you do not understand the meaning of a verbDo not worry! See if the context of the verb can help you to understand its meaning. Look the verb up in the Mini-Dictionary at the back of this book or in your own dictionary. Study the example and try to write your own sentence using the verb. This will help you to remember what the verb means and how it is used.

If you are studying for an examinationYou can use the special organising pages and Your Personal List at the end of the book. Cover part of the page and test yourself.

Getting Started

i What is a phrasal verb?A phrasal verb is a verb plus one or two particles.

Here are some common verbs: bring, get, go, put, take, turn.

T L i c a r e s o m e c o m m o n p a r t i c l e s : up, down , out , in , o f f , on . S o m e t e a c h e r s c a l i t h e m p r e p o s i t i o n s o r a d v e r b s , b u t i s e a s i e r t o t h i n k o f t h e m a s a l l ` p a r t i c l e s ' .

Here are some exampIes of phrasal verbs:

bring in go offtake out get on with

To understand what a phrasal verb is, let us look at the verb GET:

GET as an ordinary verb: Can you get me a

glass of milk?

GET with one or two particles to forni phrasal verbs:

GET IN: The window was open. A thief got in and stole the video . (enter)

GET ON WITH: We don't get on with our neighbours. (We aren't friendly to each other.)Please get on with your work. (Please continue with your work.)

Mit can see that some ~sal verbs are easy and some are more difficult tounderstand. WOrking tbrougli the exercises in this book help you understand these verbs and timi,. meanings.

2 Where does the particle go?

Very often the particle comes immediately after the verb, bui this is not always true.

Particle immediately after the verb:The cat stayed on top of the wall and only got down at meni times. (descend)

Particle after the object:This terrible weather is getting many peopIe down. (making them depressed)

Particle before or after the object: Did you get down all the

"Fin gelling tert. geliing me down."

If the object is a pronomi, the particle comes Did you get it clown?

Smoke from the lire in the kitchen set a lire alarm off. Mr and Mrs Newton and their two ehildren managed to get out throueh a window. ()ne man in the nats iipstairs was watching TV and hadn't realised what was happening. 1-le had the shock of his lire when firemen broke in and told him to leave immediately.

Annoyed by telephone salespeople? Don't put up with them any longer! Whenever one rings you up, you should ask them to bold on because you have to consult sorneone. You then simply carry on doing what you vere doing before. When you rettori after about ten minutes, you should find that the caller has hung up.

4 What do phrasal verbs mean?It is often possible to understand what a phrasal verb means by looking at its particle. As you do the exercises in this book, try to notice patterns of meaning and build up lists based on these patterns. Although it is not always possible to finti a pattern, thinking about the meaning of the particle will help you to understand and rernember the phrasal verbs you meet.

Below you will see some of the meanings of the six most common particles used with phrasal verbs.

UPAn upward movement:We left early, just as the sun was coming up.

An increase, an improvement: Sales have gone up in the past year.

Completing, ending:We used up all the eggs when we made the calce.

Approaching:A taxi drew up just as we were thinking of calling one.

DOWNA downward movement:The teacher told the pupiis to sit clown.
