English Phrasal Verbs Book 2
About this ebook
To speak a new language, you need vocabulary. You need words, phrases, key sentences, and idioms. To speak a language really well, you need a lot of vocabulary, and you need to know the different meanings for the vocabulary.
One of the most difficult parts of English is a special vocabulary group called phrasal verbs. Phrasal verbs have two or three words. The first word is usually a very common one-syllable verb like take, come, put, or go. The second part is usually a preposition or adverb like off, up, in, or away. These parts together have a new meaning. You can know the meaning of take and the meaning of off, but take off has a different meaning.
The goal of this book is to help you learn the most frequent phrasal verb with their most important meetings. Instead of long vocabulary lists, each lesson in this book teaches you only three phrasal verbs, with meanings and many useful examples. There are also many short exercises for you to practice the phrasal verbs in a very direct way. They can be completed in a day, a week, or as much time as you need.
