Today I went through another two lessons in the intermediate phrasal verbs book. I found a few unknown ones I have yet to hear about, so I've got to learn a lot more before embarking on a new career. I wouldn't have done anything about this deficiency without completing the CELTA course. I might have skipped the subject and focused on the higher-level phrasal verbs, which would have been silly. I'm on the right path with my plan, so there is nothing to be worried about for now. Step by step, I'll go through the books I intended to study from.
Anyway, let's see which were the phrasal verbs I had some issues with:
- to drive at - to try to explain something to someone,
- to drum something into someone - to teach something to someone by repeating it many times (frequently),
- to drown something out - If a loud noise drowns out another noise, it prevents it from being heard,
- to take in -
- to allow someone to stay in your home,
- to take somebody to a police station to ask them questions,
- to make someone believe something that is not true, as in deceive or cheat,
- to make something smaller,
- to allow something in through a hole,
- include,
- understand the meaning or importance of something.
Well, this is it for today. I'm about to nip down to the living room to get my plum dumplings and devour them before anyone can say, 'BURMA!'. Then another session of learning and memorising awaits me...
