English Phrasal Verbs: What You Need to Know

An invaluable reference book for learners who need to master this notoriously difficult aspect of the English language. The Cambridge International Dictionary of Phrasal Verbs provides clear and simple explanations of 6,000 phrasal verbs current in British, American and Australian English today, along with thousands of example sentences showing phrasal verbs used in typical contexts.

If you’re a high-intermediate to advanced student of English as a foreign or second language, and you sometimes feel like giving up on phrasal verbs, you’re not alone. Phrasal verbs can be a nightmare for EFL/ESL students of all ages and levels, and the lists of phrasal verbs with meanings and examples you find on the Internet aren't always useful.

English phrasal verbs are notoriously difficult to learn, but this colourful, entertaining book contextualises them in a memorable and supportive way. Phrasal Verbs in Context presents over 300 phrasal verbs in the context of a humorous story in cartoon form which sustains the reader's interest and concentration. Learning is promoted and reinforced by a series of vocabulary and preposition exercises that practise and recycle individual items.
