Phrasal Verbs - English Grammar Exercises

Phrasal verbs are like a secret code in English. They are a combination of a verb (like "look," "get," or "put") and a small word called a particle (like "up," "on," or "off"). Together, they create a completely new meaning that you usually can't guess from the individual words!

Mastering phrasal verbs is the key to sounding natural and fluent. In this section, you'll learn common daily phrasal verbs, the difference between "separable" and "inseparable" types, and how they change based on context. Get ready to practice with 25 real-world exercises!

Separable vs Inseparable

Some phrasal verbs can be "split" by the object. For example, you can say "Turn off the tv" or "Turn the tv off." Others, like "Look for," must always stay together. You can't say "Look my keys for."

Tricky Cases

Watch out for common mistakes when using Phrasal Verbs. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and how different contexts can change the correct form. Some patterns might seem similar but have important differences.

Remember that context matters. The same sentence structure might work differently depending on whether you're talking about the past, present, or future, or whether you're making a statement or asking a question.
