Phrasal Verbs and Nutrition this week

Last week we started to talk about phrasal verbs.

Phrasal verbs have two or more words, usually a verb and a preposition. Together they may mean something quite different from each word separately. For example, "look up" means "research; it does not mean look at the sky or ceiling.

The first group we learned about was separable phrasal verbs. This group needs to separate the verb from the preposition when a pronoun is used. For example, call up, call him up. When a noun is the object, it can go in the middle or after the the phrasal verb. For example, call up John or call John up.

Here's a dictionary of phrasal verbs.

We also started to talk about nutrition by speculating about some facts and playing a game.
