Default Re: Studying phrasel verbs?!!!!

Take it easy, dude! There are several phrasal verbs -thousands and thousands-, but just some of them are used nowadays. I mean you haven't got to learn all of them. So this is my advice: try to read books or press in English and make a list of those which are used.
Related to how to remember them, make useful sentences with those phrasal verbs you think are popular enough.

Above all, do not attempt to remember a long list of phrasal verbs in one go.
This takes some time. So give yourself some time.

Best regards,

Adrián.

Dipizz is right- take is slowly and don't get worked up about them. You can consult our list and test yourself here: http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/phrasal-verbs/
