-prepositions all idiomatic, very few rules to follow

 

Phrasal verbs- extremely valuable! solid gold!

verb + preposition

-Phrasal verbs are the heart of English. If you want to know English well, you should learn phrasal verbs.

 

 

Phrasal Verbs

Phrasal verbs are two or three-word verbs usually consisting of a verb plus a preposition or two. 

 

verb + preposition

 

Phrasal verbs are the heart of English. The more you know phrasal verbs, the more natural your spoken and written English will sound.

 

Adding a preposition to a verb can completely change the meaning of the verb.  For example, “speak to” and “speak for” have very different meanings.  So too do “look up to” and “look down on”.  The meanings of phrasal verbs are idiomatic, which means their meaning is in the culture not in the dictionary.

 

One verb: look (v)

look + prep

look at

look for

look after

look up

look up to – respect somebody, admire  Scott really looks up to his math teacher, Ms Chen.

look forward to – anticipate, waiting with a good feeling, being filled with expectation (positive)   I look forward to seeing you.

look down on – think poorly of someone, do not respect them  My mother usually looked down on my friends.

 

 

- common verb “talk”

talk to

talk with

talk over  She always talks over me. I don’t like being interrupted all the time. Sorry for talking over you.

talk for/speak for

talk about- gossip, tattler- cannot keep a secret

talk out – discuss somethin fully, especially to resolve a conflcit between two people    The husband and wife had to sit down and talk out their differences.

 

 

Here are some URLs for webpages that have lists of hundreds of phrasal verbs.  You probably know many of them already:

4.    borrowing words from a story , putting them into your paragraph,

essay

“Bullying”

“a part pf growing up”

Borrow words from a text. Incorporate the words into our writing. Include the words in our sentence.

“a part pf growing up” – put this inside your sentence

 

When I was a kid growing up, dealing with bullies was thought as a normal “part of growing up”. However, these days, peoples’ opinons of bullying have changed.

 

Kids are now being taught “to stand up” for each other when bullying occurs.

 

When kids have each others’ backs, bullies have a harder time to “harass their victims” because they may be facing several people rather than just one person.

 

STEPS

1 Read the story/ text.

2 Underline good words and phrases that you may want to use as quotations.

3 When you write your paragraph or essay, you can sprinkle in quoted words and terms.

sprinkle – a little bit

 

 

·      Talk about plagiarism – copying without “”

·      Incorporate quoted material into your sentences.

·      Not copying sentences

·      borrow/quote just 2-3 words, 3-4 words

·      no long quotations, long quotations are no good for short answers

EF5 paragraph – 125-150ww

EF6 -150-200ww

- a few 3,4,5 short quotations (2-4, 3-4 words each)

 

If you are writing a 10-page paper, you can use longer quotations.

For this class, Eng10,11,12 – stick to several short quotations

·      This is a skill that must be practiced and perfected

 

HOMEWORK

Choose a short 2,3,4-word section from “Bullying” or “The Rosa Parks Story”

Incorporate that short quotation into your own sentence.

 

e.g     “The Rosa Parks Story”

“protest her arrest”

The members of Rosa’s church were incensed/angry by her arrest;

they met that night to brainstorm ways that they could “protest

her arrest”. They decided on a peaceful bus strike.

Please email me your example(s). Tomorrow, we look at the examples you came up with.
