Three things that make phrasal verbs easier<\/h2>\n

1. Learn the preposition with the verb.<\/strong> \u201cWeigh in on<\/em> a topic\u201d, \u201csign off on<\/em> a budget\u201d, \u201cloop someone in<\/em>\u201d. The small word is the part people forget.<\/p>\n

2. Learn the noun form.<\/strong> In writing, you\u2019ll often use the noun: \u201ca quick catch-up\u201d, \u201cthe project kick-off\u201d, \u201ca follow-up email\u201d, \u201cwe got some pushback\u201d.<\/p>\n

3. Notice where the object goes.<\/strong> With many phrasal verbs, a pronoun goes in the middle: \u201cloop her<\/em> in\u201d, \u201cturn it<\/em> down\u201d, \u201cwalk you<\/em> through\u201d. \u201cTurn down it\u201d is a common mistake.<\/p>\n

Are phrasal verbs too informal?<\/h2>\n

Mostly no. \u201cFollow up\u201d, \u201creach out\u201d, \u201csign off on\u201d and \u201croll out\u201d are standard business English, in email and in documents. In very formal writing, such as contracts or a board report, you can swap a few for single verbs: contact<\/em>, approve<\/em>, postpone<\/em>, resolve<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Want to see these in action? Most of them appear in our lists of meeting phrases<\/a> and corporate jargon explained<\/a>. In WorkWords, each one has its own card with an example and audio, and comes back for review on a spaced schedule so it sticks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Thirty phrasal verbs cover most of what happens at work: starting (kick off), communicating (reach out, loop in, follow up), deciding (weigh in, sign off on), fixing (iron out, hash out) and finishing (wrap up).
