All of the phrasal verbs here have appeared in this course - including the grammar presentation. keep bump turn bring take x 2 get look pick sneak on into with x 2 after x 2 off x 2 up x 4 Note: As there are thousands of phrasal verbs in English, further practice on the Internet would be difficult. The best thing to do is learn the phrasal verbs we've used here and as you come across more when you read or learn English, write them down and try to learn them too. Don't try and learn too many at one time and BEWARE - many have more than one meaning ('pick up' has about 15 meanings!) so stick with the meanings you see. At this level of English a phrasal verb dictionary would not be useful - a normal dictionary is fine. 1. I wish I could .............. (3) you but you’re just too fast! 2.
