Hi everybody. Let's imagine what you have to go to an interview and that you'd been told to bring a copy of your resume...when you get there and are in front of the interviewer, to let him know that you have the copy with you, what could you say: I have brought the cv over/ around/ in. Maybe the only verb "to bring" is enough, but if you wanted to use a phrasal verb, which preposition would associate with "bring" in this context and why? Thanks

Why would you need a phrasal verb when "I have brought my CV as requested" is perfectly sufficient?

well, since I've studied these three phrasal verbs but I cannot decide which one to use in this kind of situation, for this reason I'm asking it to a native, to know which one he would use. ;-)

any suggestion?
 
Being more patient would be a very good idea. Not only is there no need to chase answers after such a short period of time, but you also need to be aware that it is Sunday and in much of the world, that is a day for us to rest!

First of all, I wouldn't call any of them phrasal verbs. It all depends on the meaning. I would only call a phrase that contains a verb a "phrasal verb" if it were an idiom. That said, using only the verb "bring" would be best in this case.
