How to learn phrasal verbs

Phrasal verbs in English are often a stumbling block for those who study it. At the same time, modern English is full of these structures, which makes them not only the study of standard task, but also a kind of key to the practical development of the language.

Phrasal verb - an unusual thing: it's not just a verb, and the verb with a preposition (or "postposition"), With the whole essence of design lies precisely in its "tail". If you put - it "put"Then put up - it is quite another, a put off - the third. Sometimes the base verb phrase can catch value, and sometimes it is almost impossible. In general, everything is difficult and it is not clear, but need to learn and use, as modern English imagined without them is almost impossible. The most common way - cards. On one side write phrasal verb, on the other - the translation, and went: first look at the original, try to remember the translation, then check yourself. If it turned out postpone card aside. If you did not work, we come back to it later. Then complicate the task: look at the translation, the English-language version of the recall, then - as already described. The method is convenient because a pack of cards, you can take the metro, tram, lunch and even view the wheel while standing in traffic jams. The second way - to teach groups of sheets. That is, take the verb put, write down 5-10 phrasal verbs on its base with the most practical in terms of the use of translations (put up, put off, put on, put down, put forward.) and teach the list, covering first translations, then the original to check yourself. It is also possible in this method to transfer cards mode. The third way - the study of the thematic groups. This is the most creative, because it is based on imagination and visual perception. We select the phrasal verbs on the topic "journey": Take off - "blast off", Set off - "hit the road", See off - "see off" and so on. Then - two versions: teach a sheet or groups (and here and work!) Draw a picture to the airport, airplane taking off, and the mourners inscribed in the corresponding elements of the image we selected verbs. This method is especially good because it involves visualization, image playback (all you write yourself), and in addition, created with his own hands is remembered much better. Happy learning!
