about when a student asked me for a textbook to help her learn the meanings of common phrasal verbs I had nothing to offer The only textbook focusing on common verbs that I could give her contains not one phrasal verb — it teaches arise but not get up, awake but not wake up, seek but not look for Phrasal verbs are verbs, not idiomatic curiosities There is no logic to classifying take over with take the bull by the horns Phrasal verbs are an essential part of spoken and written English at all levels, and no student who hopes to master the language can afford to overlook them Although this textbook is intended primarily for high-intermediate to advanced students, ambitious students at lower levels will benefit from it as well Only some FOCUS sections may prove to be a little beyond them; otherwise, there is nothing to prevent any student from studying the definitions and examples and attempting the exercises A vocabulary textbook should provide mechanics as well as meaning Students want to know more than what a word means — they want to know how to use it correctly The importance of mechanics is the reason for the emphasis on the prepositions required when some phrasal verbs are used transitively and for the inclusion of reviews of points of grammar not specific to phrasal verbs Prepositions are the glue that holds English together, but many students falter when using newly learned verbs because they not know that a preposition is also required, or if they do, which one This aspect of English is not given the attention it deserves because it is difficult to teach — there are no rules that govern when a preposition, or which preposition, is required, and no teacher likes to say "You just have to remember." The hope of the latter feature, the discussion of points of grammar not specific to phrasal verbs, is that combining practice with phrasal verbs and practice with a variety of grammatical structures will increase not only the student's confidence in the knowledge of phrasal verbs but also his or her willingness and ability to use them in a wider range of situations There is inevitably a degree of oversimplification That phrasal verb particles are sometimes prepositions and sometimes adverbs is mentioned only once No purpose is served by differentiating between them, and the overlap between the two is confusing to the student Phrasal verbs are not identified as transitive or intransitive because this is dictated by logic Less common meanings of some phrasal verbs have not been included Adverb placement is presented and illustrated in simplified form without discussion of the different types of adverbs — doing so would have gone beyond the scope of this textbook iv THE ULTIMATE PHRASAL VERB BOOK Student And no differentiation is made between recognized adjectives derived from past participles and past participles with adjectival meaning The adjectival use of past participles (both phrasal and nonphrasal) is an extremely important aspect of spoken English — something every student of English should be familiar with — yet the dividing line between true adjectives derived from past participles and passive sentences employing past participles with adjectival meanings is illdefined and problematic Native speakers of English regularly use past participles in superficially passive sentences with purely adjectival meaning Whether the past participles are verbs or actually adjectives is of no concern to the native speaker and is entirely irrelevant to the student of English Rather than distract the student with an unnecessary element of confusion, both are referred to as participle adjectives throughout this textbook The exercises in this textbook are intended to reinforce meaning and mechanics A cloze exercise always comes first, followed by exercises focusing on sentence structure and the FOCUS discussion Last are exercises that ask the student to answer questions or write original sentences There is a good deal of review built into this textbook Every section contains two or more exercises requiring the student to refer back to a previous section in order to review a phrasal verb, participle adjective, or noun When a phrasal verb has two or more meanings, it is intentional that no help is provided to the student in determining which meaning applies; students have to review them all and figure it out for themselves I have tried in this textbook to imitate the form and content of everyday English If occasionally the register and subject matter of some examples and exercises seem not quite right for formal discourse, that is deliberate Students need to learn formal English, of course, but since most people speak informally most of the time, students need to gain familiarity with the syntax, usage, and content of the informal English they read and hear every day at work, at school, at home, and on television TO THE STUDENT Phrasal verbs are combinations of ordinary verbs like put, take, come, and go and particles like in, out, on, and off They are a very important part of everyday English Every student of English needs a basic understanding of the most common phrasal verbs and also of common nouns and adjectives made from phrasal verbs Most phrasal verbs are nor informal, slang, or improper for educated speech or formal writing Exactly the opposite is true — most phrasal verbs are acceptable at all levels of spoken or written English In fact, for many of the phrasal verbs in this textbook, there is no alternative to the phrasal verb — there is no other way to say it v ... part of a phrasal verb In other words, the phrasal verb minus the particle In the phrasal verb pull over, pull is the verb and over is the particle The adverbs and prepositions in phrasal verbs are...
