It can be used as a self-study guide by learners, or the material can be used by teachers in their EFL/ESL classes. The book presents over 1,000 phrasal verbs in alphabetical order. The first section has phrasal verbs beginning with the letter ÔaÕ, followed by a set of quiz questions that test them. The second section has phrasal verbs beginning with the letter ÔbÕ, followed by another set of quiz questions, and so on.
Could you chop up some vegetables and put them in the soup, chop up sth chop up chop sth up please? ThereÕs a knife over there. LetÕs chop those old ✍ see also: cut up boards up and use them as firewood. Table presenting the phrasal verb Ôchop upÕ (from p. 22) Each phrasal verb is presented in its own table (see Fig.
1), and each table has: ¥ two example sentences, one with the phrasal verb colour-highlighted ¥ patterns of usage (e. Ôchop up sthÕ/ Ôchop sth upÕ) ¥ references to related phrasal verbs (e. see also: cut up) ¥ space to write your own example sentence (under ✍ ) ¥ space to write your own notes (under ✍ or ) You may have noticed that there is no definition. This is because one of the best ways to learn phrasal verbs is to see them in context, and then figure out the meaning for yourself.
It seems that if learners do this, they can get a clearer idea of the meaning, and a better understanding of how the phrasal verb is used, than they would by just memorizing a definition or a synonym. But figuring out a phrasal verbÕs meaning by seeing just one example of its use can be difficult, so in this book you are given two example sentences. To learn a new phrasal verb, start off by reading the sentence in which the phrasal verb is colour-highlighted. When you think youÕve worked out what it means, see if the meaning fits the second sentence as well.
If it does, you can be fairly sure that youÕve found the correct meaning. If it doesnÕt, study both sentences again and see if you can get the correct meaning. If you really canÕt figure out the meaning, or if youÕre not sure whether the meaning youÕve come up with is correct or not, you can look the phrasal verb up in a dictionary. If the dictionary gives several meanings, make sure you find the one that fits the context in both the example sentences.
Then you can write notes in the table to help you to remember it if you like (see Fig. Could you chop up some vegetables and put them in the soup, chop up sth chop up chop sth up please? ThereÕs a knife over there. LetÕs chop those old ✍ The cat is hungry so IÕm chopping up some meat see also: cut up boards up and use them cut into small pieces for her. Write your own example sentences and add your own notes.
Your notes can be written in English, or in your own language if you prefer. You can also make up and write your own example sentences. This will help you to remember the phrasal verbs, and it will also help you to remember how to use them correctly. If possible, have a teacher or a fluent speaker check your sentences for you.
Over 1,000 quiz questions are also included. All the questions are in the Ômissing wordÕ or cloze format. A sentence is given in which one word is missing, and you have to figure out what the missing word is (see Fig. You are shown where the word fits in the sentence, and told how many letters it contains.
In all the questions the missing word is part of a phrasal verb, either the verb (e. ÔchopÕ) or the particle (e. 1000 Phrasal Verbs In Context © Matt Errey 2007 4 www.com/phrasal_verbs.html 36 Jenny looks a bit sad. Do you think a movie would cheer her _ _ ?

Some of the questions testing phrasal verbs beginning with ÔcÕ (from p. 32) The quiz questions can be used in several ways. You can test yourself before studying to find out which phrasal verbs you need to learn. You can also do the quiz questions just after youÕve studied some of the phrasal verbs in order to check your understanding.
The questions can also be used for revision. A couple of days after youÕve learned some of the phrasal verbs, do the questions that test them again. Keep doing them every few days until you get them all correct. Answer sheets are provided at the back of the book (pp.
145- 149), and you can check your answers in the Answer Key (pp. You can also find two appendixes at the back of the book. 154) is a small selection of recommended phrasal verb dictionaries and study guides. 155) is a collection of links to various online resources, including dictionaries, grammar notes, interactive games and phrasal verb quizzes in various formats.
