Episode description

A phrasal verb is a combination of a verb + preposition that has a specific meaning.

Sometimes the meaning of the phrasal verb is quite different from the meaning of the regular verb by itself!

I often see students make mistakes by mixing up regular verbs and phrasal verbs. Here are some common verbs and phrasal verbs in English, and the situations in which each one should be used.

One of the best ways to learn phrasal verbs - and remember them - is in context. My Phrasal Verbs in Conversation Course can help you do that.

Each lesson is based on a dialogue, so it's easy to see how the phrasal verbs are used naturally.

There are also quizzes and practice exercises to help you put the phrasal verbs into practice.
