Phrasal verbs can confuse learners. Here are three essential ones:
-
Take off – remove or depart (He took off his shoes / The plane takes off at 8 PM).
-
Take up – begin a hobby or activity (She took up painting last year).
-
Take over – assume control (The manager will take over next week).
Activity: Make one sentence for each phrasal verb about your own life.
Takeaway: Focus on three high-utility phrasal verbs at a time — better than memorizing a long list.
