More phrasals

Do you avoid using phrasal verbs?

We know they can be tricky... Do they take an object? Do they separate? And what exactly do they mean?

Especially if you're a speaker of a Latin (or Romance) language like French, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese, you might prefer to use what we call a cognate - a word in English which comes from the same root as the word in your language. 

But before you do that, do watch Tim and see if he can help.

Summary

Compare these words:

Spanish abandonar

French abandoner

Italian abbandonare

Portuguese abandonar

They are all related to:

English abandon

This is quite a formal word in English. It's good for writing academic essays or formal reports, but not so good for everyday speech.

Instead, we often use to give up, which is a phrasal verb that means something very similar. 

Here are a few more:

tolerate = put up with

blow up = detonate

put off = postpone

throw up = vomit

leave out = omit

speed up = accelerate
