Common mistakes

Using this adjective in a sentence

• An adjective describes a noun and normally sits in front of it: a narrow road.
• After a linking verb it moves to the other side of the verb: The road is narrow. The two sentences mean the same thing.
• Short adjectives take -er and -est for comparison (narrow, narrower, narrowest); longer ones take more and most (more expensive, most expensive).
• Words ending in -ed and -ing often behave like adjectives: an interesting book, the missing file.

Where this word sits in the grammar

Phrasal Verbs (upper_intermediate level)

The meaning of a phrasal verb is not the sum of its parts: "give up" ≠ give + up. Context decides meaning: "break down" (stop working / lose control).

The rules in short

• 1. Examples: give up (quit), look after (take care of), put off (postpone), turn down (refuse), come across (find by chance).
• 2. Separable: turn the light off / turn off the light.
• 3. Inseparable: look after the children (not "look the children after").
• 4. With pronouns, separable verbs must split: turn it off (not "turn off it").
• 5. Meaning is often idiomatic — learn as vocabulary.
