250 phrasal verbs. 25 real-life situations. 750 example sentences. One clear page per verb.

Phrasal verbs are the biggest gap between a learner who is technically correct and a learner who sounds natural. You can pass an exam and still not know what "put up with", "get away with" or "come down with" means — because nothing in the words tells you. They have to be learned one at a time, in the situations where people actually use them.

That is exactly how this book is built. The 250 most useful phrasal verbs in everyday American English, grouped into 25 situations you will meet this week: mornings, work emails, money, travel, health, arguments, shopping, socialising, deadlines and more.

Every verb gets the same clear page: a plain-English meaning, three example sentences, a grammar label (separable, inseparable, intransitive or three-part) so you always know where the object goes, a usage note on register and second meanings, and the mistake learners actually make — shown wrong and right.

Every unit ends with a ten-question test. That is 250 practice questions, with a complete answer key and an A–Z index of all 250 verbs at the back.

For learners at B1–B2 who can already hold a conversation but still sound like a textbook.
