In this online course through watching online videos and completing quizzes, you will learn the meaning and remember 200 commonly used phrasal verbs in English. In each part of the course you will learn 10 different phrasal verbs.

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 7th 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. BACK OUT
  2. TURN OUT
  3. TRY OUT
  4. FALL OUT
  5. GO ALONG WITH
  6. LOOK LIKE
  7. KNOCK OUT
  8. COME UP WITH
  9. PULL OVER
  10. RIP OFF

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 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 8th part of the phrasal verb course to learn and remember more.
