TO THE TEACHER
The inspiration for The Ultimate Phrasal Verb Book came 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 do 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
ill-defined 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.
