SPEAK NATURALLY: THE 8 PHRASAL VERBS YOU MUST KNOW TO UNDERSTAND NATIVE SPEAKERS

** Do you ever feel confident with English grammar, but struggle to understand native speakers? **

One reason for this is that native speakers use phrasal verbs all the time in everyday conversations, films and podcasts. They are an important part of natural English and learning them is an essential step towards becoming fluent.

This workbook teaches 8 very common phrasal verbs that native speakers use every day and that you should master if you want to improve your understanding and speak more naturally:

• Bring up

• Point out

• Find out

• Figure out

• Catch up

Each phrasal verb has its own page with a clear explanation, natural example sentences, grammar and usage notes, and common learner mistakes to help you use it correctly and confidently. In addition, every page includes practice exercises and speaking questions to help you put what you have learned into practice.

At the end of the workbook, you'll find a mixed exercise section and a complete answer key to review and review everything you've learned. This is where real progress happens, helping the language stay in your long-term memory.
