Phrasal verbs - exercises
If you really want to learn dozens of English phrasal verbs, you have to do some exercises. Reading a list, even 20 times, is not enough. The method used here is much more effective than passive reading, because by doing some exercises you need to prove that you actually remember the verb, the particle (preposition) and the meaning. So, have a good look at the list of phrasal verbs and then complete all the exercises that come with the list. (You have to do the exercises in the correct order from 1 do 4.)
If you notice that a given list includes phrasal verbs that are too easy for you, skip it and find something more difficult (Soon, there will be more lists to choose from.) If you know only half of the phrasal verbs listed, you should do the exercises! Good luck!
