Phrasal verbs - part II
2012-01-10
Now that you know how important it is to learn phrasal verbs, here are some tips on how to learn them:
1. Read and listen. When you see or hear a phrasal verb you don’t know, write it down. But do not only write down the verb and the preposition, write the whole sentence. Understanding the context is what will make it possible for you to use the phrasal verb in the future.
2. Find out the meaning in that specific context. Look it up in a dictionary and decide which definition fits best in context.
3. Practice it in conversation and/or writing, for learning consolidation.
4. Study your list of phrasal verbs and keep adding to the list.
