Phrasal verbs (also known as compound verbs or multi-word verbs) are verbs plus prepositions or adverbs that can be treated as a complete semantic unit. They often have meanings that are different to the base verb they feature. An example is "put on", as in, "He put on a new shirt." This worksheet features 15 phrasal verbs that are separated from their accompanying prepositions. Students must join the verbs to the correct preposition by drawing lines to match the pairs.
Practice the subject-verb-object word order in positive sentences. Starts easy but becomes more difficult. Final sentences include indirect objects too.
Simple past and present perfect (have + past participle) verb forms for some common irregular verbs. After students have finished matching the simple past and present perfect verb forms, instruct them to write some example sentences using both the simple past and present perfect tenses. e.g. "In the last month I have seen three whales in the bay." "Yesterday I saw a great movie."
