Product description
From the author
Explore phrasal verbs with move through definitions, examples and four exercises: meaning matching, sentence completion, grammar-pattern classification and conversation.
The download contains an eight-page lesson PDF, a one-page key for exercises 1–3 and a two-page Google Apps access guide. A linked Google Slides version provides answer-entry fields. The nine conversation prompts allow personal responses.
The supplied terms permit completing answers and sharing with your own students, but prohibit changing other content or redistributing the resource beyond them.

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'
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
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
Skills covered
Phrasal verb vocabulary — students explore ten definition groups through literal or metaphorical examples.
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.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
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.
