Tips to play better

  • 💡 Phrasal verbs rarely translate literally — think about the meaning of the whole phrase, not word by word.
  • 💡 Pay attention to the particle (up, on, off, out) — it completely changes the verb's meaning.
  • 💡 Start on basic: the most common phrasal verbs come first, and the vocabulary gets more advanced from there.
  • 💡 Many phrasal verbs carry more than one meaning depending on context — if the first option feels off, think of a different use of the verb.
