Common Phrasal Verbs 1

This 12-question quiz introduces common English phrasal verbs, those everyday combinations of a verb and a small word.

You pick the phrase that fits each gap, in sentences like Lindsay doesn't want to ___ her studies. and A good mother always ___ her children's needs., so it is great for sounding more natural in conversation.

The tricky part is that the little word can flip the meaning entirely, so looking for something is nothing like looking after it, even though only one word changes.

Recommended level: intermediate.
