In the YouTube videos Phrasal Verb Daily, numbers 11 to 20, you learnt the meaning or a meaning of the following 10 English phrasal verbs:

  1. DROP OFF
  2. END UP
  3. GIVE UP
  4. HEAD TO
  5. CARRY OUT
  6. TAKE PART
  7. PUT UP WITH
  8. STAND OUT
  9. BREAK DOWN
  10. MAKE OUT

To make sure that you don't forget what each of these means or can mean (because some have more than one meaning), do the online exercises/quizzes below.

In the first exercise, you have to choose which of the above phrasal verbs is correct for the sentence. Use the context of the sentence(s) to help you decide which one is correct.

In the second exercise, you have to match each of the 10 phrasal verbs to their meaning (e.g. 'to leave a bus, plane or train').

In both exercises, you should only use each of the 10 phrasal verbs once.

P.S. If you haven't watched the YouTube Videos for these, I would recommend you do this before doing these exercises (click on the phrasal verb in the above list to watch it). It will help to make doing the exercises easier and make sure that you remember them.
