Professional Tip

. Always learn phrasal verbs together their opposite when there is an obvious one, e.g. sit down/stand up. Record them together too.
. It can also help to learn the non-phrasal equivalent at the same time too when there is an obvious one, e.g. stand up = rise.



10 Match these phrasal verbs to their opposites from 1-16. Write them next to the right picture in Vocabulary Builder 16C.

land put away put down take off turn on turn up



11 Test yourself. Say what the people are doing in the pictures 1-16.
Example: She's handing in a form.

Professional Tip

. It's easy to make a self-test chart, like the one below. To learn new phrasal verbs, write an example, leave out the particle, then write the particle at the end of the line.
. Cover the particles and test yourself until you can remember them all easily.
