Phrasal Verbs (continued from yesterday)
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:
-200 phrasal verbs

-Several hundred phrasal verbs

These are excellent
resources for self-directed study.
Cornerstone characteristics
of a good adult learner:
1.self-motivated-
the drive/impulse to learn comes from inside
2.self-directed- you decide what you’re going to focus on,
your spotlight
3.self-evaluating- being
positive but critical of your own work
4.self-correcting-
making the changes that you know that you should make
This kind of learning
takes maturity and some wisdom.
Make a plan. Pick a
small amount of material to focus on for a week/ two weeks. Just focus on that.
e.g. mandolin – tune
“Red-Haired Boy”
guitar – 50s style
rock and roll
pedal steel –
focussing on major and minor pentatonic scales
Phrasal verbs
Many of these you
will know already. There are hundreds more to learn. Don’t feel overwhelmed-
just learn a few new ones each day/week. Use them in your talking and writing.
Building up your
familiarity with phrasal verbs will help your English sound natural and
authentic.
It is worth the time
that put into it.
Passive vocabulary
vs active vocabulary
passive vocab –
words you understand
active vocab – words
you use
Good use od out time:
growing our active vocabulary.- focus on phrasal verbs
e.g.
I am going to Surrey. ok, sounds fine
I am heading for
Surrey. ten times as natural sounding, really authentic
Ossie is heading home now.
We should head home soon.
home / downtown no preposition
Maria went to
Burnaby. Maria went home. Maria went downtown.
Maria went to home.
XXX small error
*prepositions are
tricky because there are very few rules about usage
prepositon usage is mostly
idiomatic, idioms
PHRASAL VERB head
for – going in a direction
There are a lot of
them. Good news: you know a lot of them already.
Use them! Start
using them!
Passive and active vocabulary-
We always can understand more than we can say.
Our passive vocabulary can be quite large.
Our active vocabulary is much smaller. Our challenge is to
make it
overhand (prep) – throw a ball, arm over the height of your

shoulder
