Phrasal verbs practice for babysitters and nannies — grammar exercise for childcare workers.
Phrasal verbs are one of the most reliably tricky areas of English for non-native speakers — and in childcare English, they're everywhere. Wake up, calm down, pick up, drop off, look after, act up, settle down — these are the verbs of daily childcare, and parents use them constantly without thinking about how opaque they might be to someone who learned English through more formal channels. This exercise builds fluency with the phrasal verbs that babysitters and nannies encounter most, using childcare-specific examples that make the meanings concrete and the vocabulary genuinely memorable.
Choose which of the three prepositions goes with the verb in each sentence.
EXAMPLE: I'll take out (on, out, off) the trash.
