  Assalamualaikum hi. Welcome to today’s lesson. A phrasal verb is a verb that has two or sometimes three words. The first word is a verb and the second (and third) is an adverb or preposition. Many phrasal verbs unfortunately have more than one meaning, like a lot of verbs. For example, take off has several meanings, including: remove clothing, e.g. Take off your jacket and sit down. leave the ground, e.g. The plane took off on time. subtract, e.g. They take off $50 from the original price. OK, now that you know what a phrasal verb is, it’s time to do some exercises. Do go to this google form : https://forms.gle/oqRGEzYVBjRgFXTW7 Read the notes and answer all the questions.  Your attendance will be taken through the submission of the form. All the best!
