Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Identify the correct phrasal-verb form of "run" to match a described real-world situation.
Distinguish transitive from intransitive phrasal verbs and separable from inseparable object placement, using "run" as the model verb.
Use multiple meanings of "run" -- literal and metaphorical -- correctly in original written sentences.
Teaching tips
Share the Google Apps version and have each student select "Make a copy" so they work in their own file rather than editing one shared document, per the resource's own access instructions.
Introduce the transitive/intransitive grammar page before Exercise 3, since that exercise directly tests the classification it explains.
Use Exercise 4's conversation questions as a speaking warm-up or closing activity once the written exercises are checked against the answer key.
Skills covered
Grammar analysis -- students classify sentences by transitive/intransitive and separable/inseparable phrasal-verb structure in Exercise 3.
Applied sentence writing -- students compose original sentences using target phrasal verbs in Exercise 2's image-labelling task.
Spoken fluency practice -- students answer ten open conversation questions using idiomatic "run" expressions in Exercise 4.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource

Each entry on the definitions page labels the sense as Literal or Metaphorical and gives a model sentence, for example "run over" shown as both a driving accident and going past a time limit.
What does Exercise 3 ask students to identify?
Which of four transitivity categories -- separable by choice, separable by obligation, inseparable, or intransitive -- best classifies each of eight sentences using "run."
