Introduction, 1000 Phrasal Verbs in Context is designed to help intermediate to advanced learners of, English improve their knowledge of phrasal verbs. 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 ‘a’, followed by a set of quiz questions that test, them. The second section has phrasal verbs beginning with the letter ‘b’, followed by, another set of quiz questions, and so on., chop up, , Could you chop up some vegetables and put them in the soup,, please? There’s a knife over there., , Let’s chop those old, boards up and use them, as firewood., , ✍, , chop up sth, chop sth up, ,  see also: cut up, , Fig 1. Table presenting the phrasal verb ‘chop up’ (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.g. ‘chop up sth’/ ‘chop sth up’), • references to related phrasal verbs (e.g.  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 verb’s 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 you’ve worked out what it means, see if the meaning, fits the second sentence as well. If it does, you can be fairly sure that you’ve found the, correct meaning. If it doesn’t, study both sentences again and see if you can get the correct, meaning. If you really can’t figure out the meaning, or if you’re not sure whether the, meaning you’ve 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. 2)., , Governmentadda.com, , chop up, , Could you chop up some vegetables and put them in the soup,, please? There’s a knife over there., , Let’s chop those old, boards up and use them, as firewood., , chop up sth, chop sth up, , ✍ The cat is hungry so I’m chopping up some meat, ,  see also: cut up, , for her., , cut into small pieces, , Fig 2. 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 ‘missing word’ 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. 3). 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.g. ‘chop’) or the particle (e.g. ‘up’)., , 1000 Phrasal Verbs In Context © Matt Errey 2007, www.teflgames.com/phrasal_verbs.html, , 4

Some of the questions testing phrasal verbs beginning with ‘c’ (from p. 32), , The quiz questions can be used in several ways.

You can also do the quiz questions just, after you’ve 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 you’ve 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.
