Camp Phrasal Verbs 1
Phrasal verbs exercise for summer camp staff — common multi-word verbs used at camp.
Vocabulary in context
Phrasal verbs are the silent grammar of natural English — the multi-word verbs that native speakers use so automatically they don't even notice them. For non-native speakers working in an English-language camp environment, they can be a source of constant mild confusion: you understand most of a sentence, but not quite all of it, because the phrasal verb in the middle means something different from the sum of its parts. This exercise focuses on the phrasal verbs that come up most in summer camp communication — sign up, head out, look after, break up, deal with — building the kind of automatic recognition that makes briefings, instructions, and conversations feel fully comprehensible rather than mostly comprehensible.
Choose which of the three prepositions goes with the verb in each sentence.
EXAMPLE: I'll take out (on, out, off) the trash.
