Discuss interesting things *Our main focus this semester is learning and using phrasal verbs. Phrasal verbs make up an important part of the English language. Knowing their meanings and usage means you will help you improve your communication skills. Phrasal Verbs? Phrasal verbs are idiomatic expressions that use verbs (i.e. to give) and prepositions (i.e. up). Separately “to give” means “to allow someone to have” and “up” is a direction word. However, together, “to give up” has a completely different meaning. “To give up” means “to quit”. Phrasal Verb Madness Each preposition creates a different meaning! Give away – tell a secret,; distribute something freely Give back – to return something Give in – to stop doing something Give in to – agree to do something you dislike Give it up for – to applause Give off – emit pollution or something unpleasant Types of Phrasal Verbs There are four types of phrasal verbs. Knowing the types will help you understand how to use them. Intransitive (int) These don't take an object. Example: “They had an argument, but they've made up now.” Nonseparable transitive (non) The object must come after the preposition. Example: “They are looking after their grandchildren.” Separable obligatory transitive (sob) The object must come between the verb and the particle: Example: “The quality of their work sets them apart from their rivals.” Separable optional transitive (sop) The object may come between the verb and the particle, but doesn’t have to: Example: “We need to call off the show.” “We need to call the show off” Practice Make a sentence with each phrasal verb. Pay attention to the kind of phrasal verb it is. Give out (int) – to collapse or fall from weakness The building gave out. Give in to (non) – to agree to do something you dislike I dislike giving in to others. Give up (sop) – to quit Everyone should give up smoking. You should give drinking up.
