Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Define and correctly use 11 distinct 'break' phrasal verbs, including multiple meanings for verbs like 'break down' and 'break into.'

  • Select the correct 'break' phrasal verb form to complete a narrative based on context.

  • Use 'break' phrasal verbs in original spoken or written sentences, including personal conversation responses.

Teaching tips

  • Cover the two definitions pages before the exercises, since several 'break' phrasal verbs (e.g., 'break down,' 'break into') carry multiple unrelated meanings that students need to distinguish during the fill-in-blank story.

  • Introduce the transitive/separable grammar explanation before its multiple-choice exercise, since the exercise directly tests the separability categories just defined.

  • Use the conversation-topics exercise as a speaking follow-up after the written exercises are checked against the answer key, to move from recognition to spontaneous production.

Skills covered

  • Phrasal verb definition and meaning discrimination — students learn 11 'break' phrasal verbs, several with multiple distinct meanings depending on context.

  • Contextual gap-filling — students select the correct phrasal verb form to complete a multi-sentence narrative.

  • Conversational production — students form original spoken responses to ten personal questions using 'break' phrasal verbs.
