Mastering phrasal verbs will help you understand conversations in English and speak naturally with English speakers.
Today I would like to introduce to you five common phrasal verbs:
1. to be cut out for something: to have the necessary qualities/ability to do something
I tried working as a doctor, but I eventually quit. I wasn't cut out for it at all.
2. to lie in: to stay in bed after the normal time for getting up.
If I don't have any plans for the day, I like to lie in.3. to be/stay caught up: to know all the latest information.
I read magazines to stay caught up on all the latest gossip.
4. to set up (something): to establish a business or organisation
She set up the company with her high school friends.
5. to show up: to arrive
He showed up to the appointment an hour late.
Now, it's your turn!
- Do you like to stay caught up on recent international events?
- Are you an early riser, or do you like to lie in?
- Do you usually show up early for appointments?
- Have you ever tried to do something you weren't cut out for?
- If you could set up any kind of business, what would it be?
Here are some tips for learning phrasal verbs:
1. Write down phrasal verbs that you see in books or hear in movies. Even better, write the whole sentence - this will help you understand the context in which native speakers use the phrasal verb.
2. Find out the meaning by talking to a native speaker or looking in a dictionary. Some dictionaries also have example sentences to help you use the words correctly.
3. Practice using the phrasal verb in conversation and/or writing.
4. Review regularly.
