Phrasal Verbs and other multi-word verbs

Phrasal verbs are part of a large group of verbs called "multi-word verbs". Phrasal verbs and other multi-word verbs are an important part of the English language. Multi-word verbs, including phrasal verbs, are very common, especially in spoken English. A multi-word verb is a verb like "pick up", "turn on" or "get on with". For convenience, many people refer to all multi-word verbs as phrasal verbs. These verbs consist of a basic verb + another word or words. The other word(s) can be prepositions and/or adverbs. The two or three words that make up multi-word verbs form a short "phrase" - which is why these verbs are often all called "phrasal verbs".

The important thing to remember is that a multi-word verb is still a verb. "Get" is a verb. "Get up", is also a verb, a different verb. "Get" and "get up" are two different verbs. They do not have the same meaning. So you should treat each multi-word verb as a separate verb, and learn it like any other verb. Look at these examples. You can see that there are three types of multi-word verb:

look direct your eyes in a certain direction

You must look before you leap.

single-word verb

look after take care of Who is looking after the baby?

multi-word verbs

look up search for and find information in a reference book

You can look up my number in the telephone directory.

look forward to

anticipate with pl

look direct your eyes in a certain direction

You must look before you leap.

Multi-word verbs The plane has now taken off. Look at these pictures. He thinks he can get away with

everything.

Multi-word verbs …are multi-word combinations that comprise relatively idiomatic units and function like single verbs. 3 main types: Phrasal verbs: verb + adverb particle Prepositional verbs: verb + preposition Phrasal-prepositional verbs: verb + particle + preposition

passives—present, past, future, and modal

Used to

I was asked on Pal Talk recently how to use used to and would.

If we say something used to happen we are talking about repeatedevents and actions in the past, usually things that happened a long time ago and are now finished.To express this we can use either used to or would.•When I was young I used to play with my dolls. = When I was young I would play with my dolls.Of course I no longer play with dolls!•We used to go out a lot in the summer.Implies that we no longer go out much.If you want to talk about repeated states or habits in the past, you must use used

to, you cannot use would : :•My dog used to bark at cats.•I used to smoke.•I used to be an administrative assistant.•I used to live in England.You should use 'use to' without a d in sentences when it follows 'did'or 'didn't' (don't worry too much about this because lots of people get it wrong).The question form is ‘Did you use to…?'. When asking a closed question you put did/didn't in front of the subject followed by use to, you cannot use would.•Did you use to go out with my sister?•Did they use to own the company?•Didn't we use to go to the same school?

Also when asking questions about states in the past you cannot usewould.•What sort of things did you use to like when you were young?. In the negative you cannot use would without a change in meaning.•I didn't use to play with my dolls.If I said I wouldn't play with my dolls. It would mean I refused to play with my dolls.•We didn't use to go out much in the winter months.If I said we wouldn't go out much. It would mean we refused to go out much.!Note - The general rule is when there is did or didn't in the sentence, we say use to (without d) when there is no did or didn't in the sentence, we say used to (with d).

My grandfather and his friends used to play with marbles

They used to play hide and seek

He used to listen to the radio

They used to travel by horse

He used to collect stamps

2 Timesharing Have you ever heard

of timesharing vacations?

Yes? No? What do you know about them? Discuss

the question. Then, read the article quickly and

check your answer.

Until timesharing came about, most Americans used to have only two main alternatives for taking vacations:

rent a hotel room with constantly increasing rates,

reservation hassles, and none of the comforts of home

or own a resort home or condominium which costs a

lot of money and which you would probably use only a couple of weeks a year.

But that has changed with a new type of business—

timeshares. With timeshare ownership, you arrange to

buy a vacation home and sell 51 weeks of the year to 51

other owners. This means that everyone involved can

afford a nicer place as the cost is divided between lots of

people. Annual expenses are much less because they are

shared and the apartment is occupied all year, which

also reduces costs.

With another form of timeshare, clients buy a

week for life in a resort. They and their families can

use this

during the lifetime of the owner. The

timesharer pays

maintenance costs and utilities (water,

electricity, and

telephone). With some companies, the

timesharer can

exchange his or her week for a week in

another resort,

or even rent the week out if he or she doesn’t

want to

use it.

3 Clinching a saleListen to the conversation between Ben Brown ofWorldwide Vacations and Mr. Turner, a client, andanswer the following questions.1 Where did the client see the information aboutthe timeshare?2 Who have the Turners talked to?
