English Phrasal Verbs (Extended)
An extended course of English phrasal verbs for B2–C1. The first half is built around the most frequent base verbs (do, make, get, take, give, come, put, run, set, keep, go, turn, bring, see, play, draw, call, hold, lay, bear, let, work, be), the second around particles (up, down, in, out, on, off, over, through, around/about, with, for, to, of, back, away, at, by, into, after, against, together, as). Separate units cover the syntax of phrasal verbs, the language of movement and road vocabulary, and antonym and synonym clusters. The course insists that a particle carries a stable meaning of its own: once you grasp the logic of up/down/out/off, you start inferring what unfamiliar combinations mean instead of memorising them as a list. The syllabus (scope and order of topics) follows Dave Nicholls, «Visual Phrasal Verbs» (2019); all explanations, examples and exercises were written anew for this course.
No practice tracking: the units of this course carry no exercises, so the server cannot count your work — however much you study, completed units will stay at zero. It does not stop you learning from the material, and a course like this is closed by passing the exam.
