144

Today I've got 101 really useful phrasal verbs for you and we'll look at that in just

a moment now the ones I've chosen are for intermediate and advanced students

so I won't be covering one such as SIT DOWN, GET UP, WAIT FOR because at this

level you should already know them. Also I haven't done many directional

phrasal verbs such as WALK AWAY and GET ON because these you can work out from

the context. Now the ones I've chosen are more difficult to work out from the

context. For each one I'll give you an example and there will be a

definition below so study them well use them and it will really boost your

vocabulary so I hope you like it and let's go
