More phrasal verbs for nannies and babysitters — grammar practice for childcare English.
The second set of childcare phrasal verbs covers the ones that appear in the less routine but equally important situations of babysitting and nanny work: the conversations about children's behaviour, health, and development that parents take very seriously. Act out, come down with, take to, grow out of, open up — each of these describes something specific about a child's experience, and using the right one in the right context is the difference between a parent who feels well-informed and one who is mildly worried by an imprecision that wasn't meant to worry them at all.
Choose which of the three prepositions goes with the verb in each sentence.
EXAMPLE: I'll take out (on, out, off) the trash.
