Learn Phrasal Verbs in American English

Learn to Use American English Phrasal Verbs to Help You Speak More Naturally

Welcome to the Phrasal Verbs in American English Course. In this course, you will learn the meaning and usage of the most common phrasal verbs in English. 

A phrasal verb is a combination of a verb & a preposition used as an idiom, like “put out.” Put is the verb, and out is the preposition.  In everyday English, especially conversational English, we prefer using phrasal verbs. Both of the following sentences are correct, but the first one is more commonly used: Please put out your cigarette. Please extinguish your cigarette.  

The course is divided into different sections. The first section is my original course lessons to help you learn 120 phrasal verbs. The next three sections have phrasal verbs with multiple meanings, phrasal verbs based on a particular verb, and phrasal verbs related to a particular topic. All together, you'll learn over 200 phrasal verbs in this course. For each phrasal verb that you study, there is: 

• An explanation of the meaning and usage. 

• A reminder of whether the phrasal verb is separable or not separable. 

• Example sentences showing how the phrasal verb is used.

The bonus section has additional phrasal verbs, also common in American English.

To help you learn and master these phrasal verbs, this course has: 

• Video lectures

• Quizzes

• Practice Exercises

• Downloadable pdf files and mp3 audio files that you can use to study and practice anywhere.

By learning phrasal verbs you'll sound more natural when you speak English and you will better understand what native speakers say when they talk with you.
