 Re: is there any other possibility for learning phrasal verbs besides by heart
My 2 cents:
Printed daily newspapers tend to use a lot of phrasal verbs in their headlines, at any rate more frequently than do other media. (And certainly more frequently than the everyday spoken language). This is particularly the case in the U.K., I'd venture to say.
Just keep in mind that "newspaperese" makes almost a dialect by itself...
(or should we rather call it 'headlinese'...), but is worth geting aquainted with anyway, as reading newspapers in a target foreign language is a proven way to consolidate one's vocabulary (you stand a good chance of repeated exposure to certain words as long as the topic is on public agenda, as well as a good chance of hearing them repeatedly spoken in context by natives and in radio/TV programmes). |
