" The use of phrasal verbs (with tests)"

ГУО «Средняя школа № 6 г. Жодино» Республика Беларусь Учитель английского языка Коледа Светлана Михайловна The use of phrasal verbs (with tests) Phrasal verbs are an important feature of the English language. Their importance lies in the fact that they form a key part of everyday English. Not only are they used in spoken and informal

English, but they are also a common aspect of written and even formal English. Understanding and learning to use phrasal verbs, however, is often a problem and there are many reasons for this. The meaning of the phrasal verb often bears no relation to the meaning of either the verb or the particle which is used with it. This means that phrasal verbs can be difficult both to understand and to remember. Besides, many phrasal verbs have several different meanings and their

grammatical behaviour is often unpredictable. Sometimes it is difficult to understand whether a phrasal verb is transitive or intransitive and where the object of a transitive phrasal verb can be placed. Some phrasal verbs can only ever be used in restricted grammatical forms or restricted tenses. Many phrasal verbs have several different syntactic patterns. Sometimes it's difficult to explain the meaning of the phrasal verb, it's impossible to remember typical

subjects and objects used with them. So we've chosen this topic to make this aspect of English easier. To begin with we've made up a plan: - To interview 100 pupils and ask them: 1. What are phrasal verbs for? 2. Is it important to learn phrasal verbs? 3. What phrasal verbs do they use very often? - To choose 30 phrasal verbs and analyze them. - To find their synonyms. -

To translate them from English into Russian. - To read the book "The Green Years" by A. Kronin and find out what phrasal verbs are used very often, often, sometimes and seldom. - To make up 10 tests for our pupils to use phrasal verbs. Having interviewed 100 pupils we've learnt that phrasal verbs are used because they: a) enrich our speech (62%) b) show the level of our knowledge (20%) c) bring in diversity ( 18%) 62% 20% 18%

Enrich our speech Show the level of our knowledge Bring in diversity Answering our question if it is important to learn phrasal verbs practically all of the interviewed pupils told us that it is very important to learn phrasal verbs. ( 80% ) Some of them told that it is necessary to learn them ( 12% ), and some of the pupils told that it is useless because it is impossible to learn them. ( 8% ) 80% 12% 8%

It's very important to study phrasal verbs. It's necessary to study phrasal verbs It's useless to study phrasal verbs Having checked our results we decided to make up a fairy tale to see later if the pupils would understand the context of it without knowing the meaning of some phrasal verbs. Once upon a time, there lived a boy whose name was Willy. Willy was interested in English but he couldn't learn phrasal verbs by heart.

Sometimes he got bad marks because of his poor knowledge. The teacher often got at him. "What a lazy boy you are!"- She would say. "Why don't you get down to learn phrasal verbs?" One day the boy was doing his homework. His task was to make up some sentences. Trying to remember some phrasal verbs he fell asleep.

Some time later, he woke up under a big tree in a strange valley. He was alone. Suddenly he heard a strange voice calling his name. An old man, dressed in old-fashioned clothes, was trying to carry a barrel and asked Willy to help him. Willy agreed. They took the barrel to a cave. After that the old man gave him a drink from then barrel.

Having drunk something from this barrel the boy saw unusual creatures. Willy guessed they were grammar drills because different rales were written on their clothes. The creatures brought him before the King whose name was Make Out. The King was very glad to see Willy. For his help he organized a ball and invited a lot of guests. In the evening Willy made friends with princes and princesses whose names were

Set Out, Come Back, Bring Up, Come Across. But they were very different and Willy couldn't remember all of them. Dancing and playing games Willy remembered many of them and even made up a poem. Once upon a time There lived a kitten. He was very noisy, He was very little. He didn't like to do out, He didn't clean his house.

He was very lazy To hunt a little mouse. The mouse was very cunning. She worked on in her hole, She went by a sleepy kitten And drank all milk from bowl. But she was getting fatter She wanted to get back. But on the way back home She had another snack. She felt her stomach aching And got through a little hole,

But it was very narrow, And the mouse was like a ball. So half of her was outside, Another - in her house. And suddenly the kitten Found out the little mouse. But as he was so little As little as the mouse He could squeak only two times. And ran off from the house. And as the mouse was frightened

Her body became thin, Her face was very funny, It even was blue-green. All the quests smiled and had a lot of fun because Willy had used their names in his poem. The King gave Willy a reward. Now he could use many of the verbs because they were his friends. When Willy woke up, he was sitting at his table and there were no sentences in his exercise book.

He began writing. He could do it easily because he knew the verbs well. Willy understood the proverb: "

of these phrasal verbs according to the context ( 8% ) and some pupils didn't understand it at all. (21%) 71% 21% 8% Understood the context of the text and the meaning of phrasal verbs. Guess the meaning of phrasal verbs according to the Context. Didn't understand the text. Our next step was to ask the pupils what phrasal verbs they use in their speech. Having collected and analyzed the results we found out that:

The verbs to look, to take are used very often. The verbs to give, to go are used often. The verbs to get, to come are used sometimes. The verbs to be, to run are used seldom. Very often Often Sometimes Seldom To look To give To get To be To take Togo To come To run According to our results, we decided to analyze the verbs the pupils use in their speech. We not only analyzed them, but found the synonyms and translated them from

English into Russian. Of all phrasal verbs we chose 30 verbs to analyze. It was not an easy task to translate them but we did our best to overcome this difficulty. We understood the importance of this task as to use phrasal verbs correctly it is necessary to know how to translate them. Having analyzed our phrasal verbs we found out that some of them are used with a lot of particles and of course have many different meanings.

But some of our phrasal verbs are used with only a few particles. So we've come to a conclusion that some verbs are difficult to remember and use, and some of them are easier to understand and to use in our speech. Many phrasal verbs have several different syntactic patterns. Sometimes it's difficult to explain the meaning of the phrasal verbs. It's impossible to remember typical subjects and objects used with them.

We were so interested in the subject of our research that we decided to see how our phrasal verbs are used in different books. As an example we took the book "The Green Years" by A. Kronin. Having read the book and found the verbs, which were used in the book more often, we compared them with the verbs, which are used by our pupils more often. Used by pupils Used in the book Very often to look, to take to come, to get, to give, to be, to look

Often to give, to go to turn, to stand Sometimes to get, to come to hold, to keep Seldom to be, to run to break, to pull If you look at our diagrams you'll see that according to our research there's a big difference between the existence of the particles and their use in the book "The Green Years" by A. Kronin. We analyzed the context of the book "The Green Years" and made a conclusion that the verbs, used in the book, helped to develop the

idea of the book, they enriched the speech of the main characters. With the help of these verbs and their particles the book was filled with unforgettable feelings. The verbs helped to show deep relationships between two boys, their real attitude to life. At page XXIII you can read some sentences from the book and see the use of the phrasal verbs at page XXVI.
