Imagine that you recently accompanied a group

of travellers on a trip involving several means of transport. Write a short account of the trip using as many of the words above as you can.

Task 4. Phrasal verbs (two-part verbs). Study the following information.

Two-part verbs are formed by combining a verb with preposition (or particle) to change its meaning:

I get up at 6 o’clock.

The plane takes off at 7.30.

A verb can be used in the same sentence as a preposition without, changing its meaning: I took the book off the table. In this case, ‘take’ and ‘off do not make a two-part verb.

The same combination of verb and particle can have more than one meaning:

The plane took off (leave the ground).

He took off his jacket (remove).

I can take 5 per cent off the price of a ticket (discount).

Phrasal verbs can be separable. The object can be placed between the verb and the particle:

The travel agent sorted out her itinerary (sort out-organise).

The travel agent sorted her itinerary out.

The object always goes at the end if the verb is inseparable:

A tour guide will look after the group.

A tour guide will look after them.

Some verbs have three parts:

The holiday didn’t live up to our expectations.
