Instructions are pretty straight forward.

  1. Show students first slide of phrasal verbs with take. They try to guess the meanings in pairs.
  2. Show them slide 3 with all the definitions. They match the definitions to the phrasal verb.
  3. Slide 4 is the answers. Students check their answers.
  4. Remaining slides contain sentences examples.

Follow this link to a flashcard set of the sentences examples on quizlet.com

What you do after with the phrasal verbs is up to you, maybe a composition using as many as possible or games using the flashcard set.
