This week's question comes from Rose who wants some help learning phrasal verbs.

She noticed that some phrasal verbs have similar endings, such as off, out and away, and wonders whether this means phrasal verbs with these endings have similar meanings.

Finn said that unfortunately phrasal verbs with similar endings can mean very different things.

For example both these phrasal verbs end in off.

Kick off 開始

Clock off 下班

But they mean very different things. Kick off means to begin, while clock off means to finish working.

Tricky?

Sadly there are few shortcuts to learning phrasal verbs. But Finn offers three learning strategies to help you.

Here they are:

1. Learn new phrasal verbs in a sentence.

Put off 推遲

Sheila hated going to the dentist so she put it off and put it off, until she couldn't put it off any longer.

Do you put off going to the dentist?

2. Try to learn words that go together with your phrasal verb.

Put out 熄滅

Cigarette, fire. To put out a cigarette. He put out the fire.

3. Learn phrasal verbs in groups, for example:

3.1 By first verb - GO

Go out 離開，出去

Go away 離開，外出

Go off 不再喜歡，變質(zhì)

3.2 Or by ending - OUT

Chill out 放松一下

Freak out 抓狂，瘋掉了

Hang out 閑蕩

3.3 Or by theme - USING THE PHONE

Hang up 掛電話

Call back 回電話

Hold on 稍等

We hope this helps you with learning phrasal verbs. If you have any other questions, please email them to questions@chinaelt.bbc.co.uk
