English Detective #62 Common Phrasal Verbs Apr. 5, 2016 April 05, 2016 |
![]() EnglishHints has a number of pages that teach and practice phrasal verb use and common individual verb phrases. (See Phrasal verb use and the pages it links to.) If you’re studying English on your own, especially try the memory games. You can play them as a form of Solitaire, and keep track of the time you need to match them. Try to beat your best previous time. I finally finished an inexpensive packet for teaching phrasal verbs in ESL classrooms. It includes 7 mini-lessons (20 minutes to 1/2 hour) with explanations, examples, and practice for just under 100 phrasal verbs total. It introduces 12-13 new phrasal verbs a day for most days, and gives extensive review activities for about half of them, with memory games to practice 32. Check it out at Common Phrasal Verbs. For even more phrasal verbs, see English Club’s Phrasal Verbs List (about 200) or their list of 2000, linked from it. I’m curious. Do you already teach phrasal verbs (or if you’re learning English, have you already studied them?) You can just reply to this email with a ‘yes’ or ‘no...’ Thanks! A note if you get gmail: Have you missed any issues of English Detective? if you find English Detective in your Promotions box, you can move it to your Primary box (if you want) by clicking on it and dragging it there, then clicking Yes when asked if you want to always get it in the Primary box. P.S. If you are not already getting English Detective, you can subscribe by completing the form here. (It's free!) Also, you can reach me by mail at 1752 Driftwood Drive, El Centro, CA 92243, USA. |
