2º Bachillerato: Phrasal Verbs

Phrasal verbs are very important in the English language.  Although they consist of two or more words- usually verb and preposition combinations- they act as if they were one word. Phrasal verbs can be transitiveseparable (turned the volume up), inseparable (I have to look after my brother) and intransitive (showed up late).

 

Try the following activities, but don't panic! Some of them do not appear in your list!
