Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Distinguish literal and metaphorical meanings of phrasal verbs built on 'move,' such as the literal 'moved out' versus the metaphorical 'moved on from a job'
Match each of the eleven target phrasal verbs to its correct definition
Complete sentences by supplying the correctly formed phrasal verb in context
Classify a phrasal verb's grammar pattern as transitive-separable, transitive-inseparable, or intransitive
Use the target phrasal verbs in original spoken responses to open-ended conversation prompts

Teaching tips

Introduce the literal/metaphorical distinction first, since several phrasal verbs (e.g., 'move up,' 'move down') carry a concrete meaning and a separate figurative one used for rankings or promotions
Exercise 3's grammar classification is the most demanding section; review the transitive/intransitive and separable/inseparable explanations on the preceding page as a class before assigning it independently
Save Exercise 4's conversation prompts for a speaking-focused lesson, since they ask students to generate original responses rather than practice fixed forms
The included solutions page covers Exercises 1 through 3, so comprehension exercises can be checked quickly and class time reserved for reviewing Exercise 4 responses together

Skills covered

Phrasal verb vocabulary — students learn eleven 'move' phrasal verbs in both literal and metaphorical senses through example sentences.
Definition matching — students match all eleven phrasal verbs to their correct meanings in Exercise 1.
Contextual gap-fill — students select and correctly form the right phrasal verb to complete eleven sentences in Exercise 2.
Grammar pattern analysis — students classify each phrasal verb as transitive-separable, transitive-inseparable, or intransitive in an 8-question multiple-choice exercise.
Conversational application — students use the target phrasal verbs to answer nine open discussion questions.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Does the exercise set only cover vocabulary, or grammar too?

Both — after the definitions, matching, and gap-fill exercises, Exercise 3 has students classify each phrasal verb's grammar pattern as transitive-separable, transitive-inseparable, or intransitive.

Is a solutions page included for every exercise?

A solutions page covers Exercises 1 through 3 — the matching, fill-in-the-blank, and grammar exercises. Exercise 4 is a set of open conversation questions meant for discussion rather than a single correct response.
