To speak a new language, you need vocabulary. You need words, phrases, key sentences, and idioms. To speak a language really well, you need a lot of vocabulary, and you need to know the different meanings for the vocabulary. One of the most difficult part of English is a special vocabulary group called phrasal verb. Phrasal verbs have two or three words. The first word is usually a very common one-syllable verb like
take, come, put,
or
go
. The second part is usually a preposition or adverb like
off, up, in,
away
. These parts together have a new meaning. You can know the meaning of
take
and the meaning of
off
, but
take off
has a different meaning. The goal of this book is to help you learn the most frequent phrasal verb with their most important meetings. Instead of long vocabulary lists, each lesson in this book teaches you only three phrasal verb with meanings and many useful examples. There are also many short exercises for you to practice the phrasal verbs in a very direct way. They can be completed in a day, a week, or as much time as you need.
