| | Re: two- word verbs first of all thank u for your paying attention to me and my topic. what i want you to do is to share me your points of view regarding my topic especially if you know that my thesis is a contrastive one between my mother tongue and english. do not you think that other subjects are to be referred to and i wonder whether there is nothing irrelevant. i want you to know that i have to write no less than 90 pages in my thesis.

| | Re: two- word verbs hi all,
regarding your question about chapter 11. actually it is not chapter 11; it is topic number 11 within chapter 1 and it is not used before as it seems to you since idioms is a different subject which has a relation with phrasal verbs. meanwhile, the idiomatic use of mwvs has something to do with meaning. |

| | Re: two- word verbs Other than phrasal verbs being idiomatic in meaning, I am sure that idioms themselves needs a section. Could you give me an idea of what you would include because I have a feeling the section might not be necessary.  |

| | Re: two- word verbs If your supervisor says so, do it, but I am still not convinced that it is necessary. It is hard to givemuch further advice from just the titles, and vague ones. If you could give a brief outline of a section, it would be much easier to comment.  |
