Section Two ~ Form-Talk 119 ~ Phrasal Verbs 1 ~ Dialogue Practice ~
1) Phrasal verbs are composed of two or three words. 2) They usually have a meaning different from those two or three words separately. 3) They are often used in everyday speech and have this form:
phrasal verb = verb + adverb/preposition/noun
Example questions:
Q1: Where do people sometimes have to queue up/ line up? How long? Popular restaurants. It's amazing how long people are willing to wait for a meal.
Q2: Do you watch when the cashier rings up your items? Why? No. I'm usually too busy arranging the items in my bags. Costco is a nightmare.
Q3: What is usually sold out during your favorite holiday? Do you notice? Dunkin Donuts. On most holidays the selection is meager. An unintentional diet.
Q4: Who do you like to shop around with? Why? I like to shop around with people with lots of money. Someone rolling in cash.
Q5: How much time do you compare prices in supermarkets? Why/Why not? Minimal. I check the reduced prices (vegies) and choose quality with other products.
Q6: Have you ever tried out a car or any other 2nd hand item? Did you buy it? I tried out a motorcycle in high school. It was a Honda. I bought it. It was 500 bucks.
Q7: Have you ever turned down an offer? What were the circumstances? I turned down a job teaching kindergarten. Ummm… It was too "audio-intensive".
Q8: How often do you try on clothes? Where? Is it stress free? When I buy clothes at a tailor shop I get measured. Then, I should try them on.
Q9: Is it difficult to pick out gifts for family and friends? Explain. Yes. It's a burden to second guess what people will enjoy. I buy them dinner instead.
Q10: Are you able to bring down the price if you haggle? Tell a tale. All the time. Vegetables on the street. I usually get an extra onion or tomato if I smile.
