How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

Twenty-five business phrasal verbs are numbered and given one by one, each with a grammar type, a short meaning and a workplace example sentence. Several verbs appear twice where they carry two distinct meanings. A video lesson opens the page, and closing sections cover where phrasal verbs are most often heard and how to look one up in a dictionary.

How to use this resource:

Read the twenty-five with the grammar type in view, since that tells you whether the object may sit between the verb and the particle. Where a verb is listed twice, compare the two examples before deciding which meaning you need. Watch the video for the same verbs spoken aloud. The closing advice points you to business emails and to films with a work setting.
