In this fifth part of our phrasal verb online course, you will learn 10 more English phrasal verbs by watching online videos and completing quizzes.

What to do first

It's simple, first watch each of our short YouTube videos on phrasal verbs (which you will find listed below or on our YouTube playlist for this 5th part of the course). In each video you will see two examples of the phrasal verb being used. In each the meaning is the same. From these examples guess what the meaning of the phrasal verb is (you will be told its meaning at the end of the video).

You don't have to watch all of them in the same day, watch them whenever you have time to do them.

  1. KNOCK DOWN
  2. DEAL WITH
  3. LOOK DOWN ON
  4. PULL OUT
  5. LEAD TO
  6. POP OUT
  7. JOT DOWN
  8. COUNT ON
  9. TELL OFF
  10. SHUT DOWN

Remember that in English the same phrasal verb can have many different meanings! So guess its meaning only from the context which it is used in the examples, not the individual words which make up the phrasal verb.

If you want to learn more about what to do when watching the videos, read our article about using the phrasal verbs videos.

Then do the quizzes here

After watching the videos, come back to this web page and do the below quizzes. Both of them are on the 10 phrasal verbs which you watched in the videos.

In the first exercise, you have to choose which of the 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.

After doing this, go to the 6th part of the phrasal verb course to learn and remember more.
