Elicit answers from different students around the class. Answers Students’ own answers EXAM SKILL Particles in phrasal verbs Explain that the particle adds extra meaning to the verb in phrasal verbs. Sometimes understanding the meaning of the particle can help you to work out the meaning of the phrasal verb. Students read the information. 2 Students complete the exercise. Have them compare in pairs before you check answers in open class. Answers 1 up 2 up 3 up 4 off 5 off 6 in 7 down 8 off LANGUAGE NOTE In this exercise, students see two types of phrasal verb: • Intransitive (with no object), e.g. What time does the plane take off ? Let’s set off . They turned up early. When do we check in ? The car broke down. Speed up! • Transitive verbs whose object is either after the verb or after the particle, e.g. I’ll pick the car up at six. / I’ll pick up the car at six. If the object is a pronoun, the object must come between the verb and the particle, e.g. I’ll pick him up / drop him off at six. (NOT I’ll pick up him at six.). Refer students to the Vocabulary reference, page 151, for more information on phrasal verbs.
