M4 Phrasal Verbs (Quizlet & Google Drawings)

When learning English, it is essential to understand and use Phrasal Verbs. But what exactly are they?

The essence of Phrasal Verbs

Phrasal verbs are two or three words that act as a completely new verb with a meaning which is different from those orginal words. We should never try to undersand a phrasal verb by translating each separate part. Remember: the meaning of a phrasal verb is not the translation of each part into your mother tongue. 

For example, eat out is a phrasal verb that means to go to a restaurant, which differs from the definition eat and out alone. Of course, you can go to a restaurant and have only a drink or eat inside the restaurant!

  • You can conjugate phrasal verbs into every type of verb form. For instance:
We eat out on Fridays.             (Present Simple)
We ate out last evening.         (Past Simple)
Are you eating out tonight?   (Present Continuous)
Have you eaten out yet?         (Present Perfect Simple)

  • Phrasal verbs are used in informal everyday language. They are very common in informal emails, text messages and everyday conversations. However, they are not to be used in formal writing or in formal interactions.

  • Now, let's learn about Phrasal Verbs!

According to Anderson (1976) and Winograd (1975), our declarative knowledge is knowing about something while our procedural knowldege consists of knowing how to do something.  You can do so, by answering key questions about your English learning process. 1.
