Phrasal verbs are usually two-word phrases consisting of verb + adverb or verb + preposition. Think of them as you would about any other English vocabulary. Study them as you come across them, in the context, rather than trying to memorize many at once.

These phrasal verbs will help you sound like native- speakers, both at work and in your personal life. You can easly learn them by coping them on sticky notes and sticking them around your kitchen, until you learn them by heart. It’s a tried and tested learning technique. Trust me.

Be ready for another set of new vocabulary from me soon:) Stay tuned.
