About Our ClassScreen English Summer

2012We will watch a popular American sitcom in order to

1.Learn English phrasal verbs*2.Learn English idioms3.Improve our listening skills4.Discuss interesting things

*Our main focus this semester is learning and using phrasal verbs. Phrasal verbs make up an important part of the English language. Knowing their meanings and usage means you will help you improve your communication skills.

Phrasal Verbs?Phrasal verbs are idiomatic expressions that use verbs (i.e. to give) and prepositions (i.e. up). Separately “to give” means “to allow someone to have” and “up” is a direction word. However, together, “to give up” has a completely different meaning. “To give up” means “to quit”. Phrasal Verb

MadnessEach preposition creates a different

meaning!

Give away – tell a secret,; distribute something freelyGive back – to return somethingGive in – to stop doing somethingGive in to – agree to do something you dislikeGive it up for – to applauseGive off – emit pollution or something unpleasantGive out – to collapse or fall downGive up – to quitGive sb up – to surrender to the police

Types of Phrasal VerbsThere are four types of phrasal verbs. Knowing the types will help you

understand how to use them.

Intransitive (int)These don't take an object.Example: “They had an argument, but they've made up now.”

Nonseparable transitive (non)The object must come after the preposition.Example: “They are looking after their grandchildren.” Separable obligatory transitive (sob)The object must come between the verb and the particle:Example: “The quality of their work sets them apart from their rivals.” Separable optional transitive (sop)The object may come between the verb and the particle, but doesn’t have to:Example: “We need to call off the show.” “We need to call the show off”

PracticeMake a sentence with each phrasal verb. Pay attention to the kind of

phrasal verb it is.

Give out (int) – to collapse or fall from weakness

The building gave out.Give in to (non) – to agree to do something you dislike

I dislike giving in to others.Give up (sop) – to quit

Everyone should give up smoking.You should give drinking up.

Give sb up (sob) – to surrender sb to the police

He gave himself up last week.
