Phrasal verbs are very important in the English language. Although they consist of two or more words- usually verb and preposition combinations- they act as if they were one word. Phrasal verbs can be separable (I turned the volume up), inseparable (I have to look after my brother) and intransitive (I showed up late). For more explanation see the glossary. One way to use these is to give a daily crossword (five days a week). Each section has five crosswords and if you teach one or two of the more difficult phrasal verbs per day, by the end of the week, the students will be able to do the crosswords with no problem AND they will get sufficient review.
