Using This Book
There 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 organised

This 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 class

Your 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 teacher

it 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 verb

Do 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 examination

You 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.
TLic are some common particles: up, down, out, in, off, on.
Some teachers cali them prepositions or adverbs, but is easier to
think of them as all `particles'.
Here are some exampIes of phrasal verbs:
bring in go off
take 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:
"I don't lltittk they gel nu ve?) , ILVII,"
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.)
see that some ~sal verbs are easy and some are more difficult to
Mit can
understand. 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 information? "Fin gelling tert. geliing me down."
(manage to malie a note of it)
Did you get all the information down?
If the object is a pronomi, the particle comes Did you get it clown?

thinking about the meaning of the particle will help you to understand and rernember
