Updated to reflect questions found on the most recent ESL tests, this book presents 400 common phrasal verbs as they are used in everyday English. Phrasal verbs are verbs combined with prepositions or adverbs. Familiarity with phrasal verbs and understanding their use as nouns (breakup, showoff, etc.) or adjectives (spaced-out, broken-down, stressed-out, and many others) is essential to ESL students. Updated information includes: the most commonly used phrasal verbs; activities and examples that reflect our current technology and the world around us; an expanded introduction for the teacher with a thorough breakdown and explanation of phrasal verbs; and, a discussion of separable and inseparable phrasal verbs in Unit I, and more. This book’s hundreds of examples in context and hundreds of exercises will be extremely useful to ESL students who are preparing for TOEFL or who simply wish to improve their English.

This book has been written as a learning aid for EFL students (English as a Foreign Language). It is geared towards upper-intermediate and advanced students, and the first half goes over the most common verbs (e.g. come, bring, put, and make) while the second half runs through the most common prepositions (e.g. up, down, with, and on). The phrasal verbs are grouped together to make them sink in quicker. Multiple images are included in every chapter to draw out the various shades of meaning and to make the words easier to memorize. Each chapter has at least one vocabulary table, one micro-text, one short exercise, and several striking images. At the end of the book, the vocabulary is revised in a number of exercises for antonyms and synonyms. For learners who are hungry for extra resources, there is a playlist on YouTube with almost 100 video lessons (‘Learn Phrasal Verbs’) that focus on the same vocabulary. This coursebook, combined with the videos, is ideal for self-study, but it could also be used in the classroom.
