Ok, so this was the second podcast I ever recorded in my life, but the information here is almost like a phrasal verbs masterclass. Almost. I intentionally did not go into more detail; I don't want to scare you away! There is a reference photo at the bottom of this description that will be useful to copy into your notebook or save.

In this episode we discuss:

Why are phrasal verbs confusing (multiple meanings, used with pronoun IT and therefore no context within the sentence, connotation (the feeling behind it, is it negative or positive, etc,) THERE ARE SO MANY, and finally, they have specific usage and classification (transitive, intransitive.)

  • How to learn them!
  • Specific websites that are useful for this, linked above. Not all dictionaries (I’m looking at you, Cambridge) tell if phrasal verbs are transitive or intransitive.
  • Other tips for learning phrasal verbs, such as mindset.
