phrasal verb: verb + particle (usually looks like a preposition or adverb)
Phrasal verbs are verbs of more than one word (usually 2, sometimes 3).
“turn on” has a meaning that doesn’t include the meaning of “turn”
If you clean up after dinner, it means you clean everything that you used for dinner.
If you fill up your car (with gas), it means you fill the tank completely.
If you fill in a form or fill out an application, you do the same thing.

take off clothes = remove clothes
the airplane takes off = the airplane goes up from the ground

get on the bus / get off the bus (you tell the cat to get off the table)
get in the car / get out of the car (you tell the cat to get out of the box)

p. 110 part 4 - with a partner, try to figure out the meaning of these phrasal verbs
1 c - Children were taken away from their parents.
      The government took children away from their parents.
2 d
3 a
4 e - similar to “go extinct”
5 g
6 h
7 b
8 f
part 5
1 pick up
2 get together
3 die out
4 write it down
5 pass on
---
Write it down.
Write some information down.
Write down some information.
*Write down it. (WRONG)
If the object is a pronoun, it must go in the middle of phrasal verbs which can be separated.

Take it away.
Give it up.
Write it down.
Pass it on.
Pick it up.
Set it up.
(All of these can be separated. “get together” and “die out” are intransitive = they have no object)

I recommend books and movies for young adults: Harry Potter, Twilight, Hunger Games, Divergent, etc.
They usually have stories that are more interesting to adults, but language that is easier than adult books.

p. 112 part 1
part 2 - are the statements true or false?
part 3
First, you need to…
The first thing you’re asked to do is…
Next, the form is sent…
When you’ve completed the online enrollment form…
Then send us payment.
After we’ve received payment…
Once you’ve enrolled…
Having done that, you need to… = When you finish that, you need to…
At the end, click “enroll now”.

1 - Fill out the form.
2 - Send us payment.

Fill out the form. After that, send us payment.
“after” is a preposition, so we must say “after _____” (can be a noun or a sentence)
We will continue after lunch.
We will continue after we eat lunch.
