Master natural English expressions that native speakers use every day! Phrasal verbs (verb + preposition combinations like "turn down" or "look after") are essential for fluent English but challenging to learn. This tool makes practice fun and effective with daily structured lessons.
Start by reading the phrasal verb's meaning and video context. Each day features a new verb with multiple real-life examples showing different usage scenarios. Pay attention to both formal and informal contexts (e.g., "turn down" can mean reject OR reduce volume).
Study 4 carefully crafted example sentences that show the phrasal verb in different contexts (work, daily life, relationships). Notice how the meaning stays consistent but the situations vary. Read each example out loud to practice pronunciation.
Answer 3 fill-in-the-blank questions by typing the phrasal verb. You can type with or without spaces (both "turndown" and "turn down" are accepted). Get instant feedback with detailed explanations for incorrect answers.
