How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

Ten phrasal verbs carry the lesson: look at, find out, turn off, pick up, hold on, log on, hang out, drop off, run into and get up. Each is given its meaning, then written twice, once in ordinary spelling and once as it sounds when the consonant moves onto the vowel, and then set in a sentence. Four practice tips close the page.

How to use this resource:

Say each pair aloud, the spelled form first and then the linked form, so you hear what changes. Then say the full sentence and keep the join inside the phrasal verb. Because these ten verbs come up constantly at work, the phrases are worth learning as single chunks rather than as two words. Use the recording tip at the end to check your own joins.
