Hi,

the best way to learn phrasal verbs is to use them in a sentences, isn't it?

I wrote some sentence with phrasal verbs and it would be nice if someone could check them:

I am sure our secretary sent off the order last week.

turn down
If we do not sign the contract until next Monday the offer is going to be turned down.

turn up
We turned up at our accommodation at midnight.

come across
I came across a very interesting article about your company.

take down
One of your customer form Italy called in yesterday and I took down the most important point of our conversation.

ask around
I met a group of old school friend’s in the city and asked them around.

play up/break down
I put the recorder on but I did not played up, after trying it three times it broke down.

bring up
Our English teacher is always bringing up boring topics.

sort out
I sorted out all possibilities and now I know what I am going to do on Monday morning.

mess around
Be careful with our new college he is always messing around!

put off/call off
The meeting is put off again. I give you the advice to call it off because the people are not interested in it.

look down on
Sandra is looking down on me because my family background is poor.

do away with
I used to play computer games but I did them away some month ago.

come up with
