Phrasal Verbs:
- verb+particle(s) combinations that have a single meaning, possibly distinct from the verb alone

Put your coat on. = Wear your coat. (“put on” is a phrasal verb with “on” as a particle)
Put your coat on the chair. = Place your coat there. (“put” is a verb and “on” is a preposition)

The stress of phrasal verbs is either on the particle or more or less the same on both words.
	(Like compound nouns, you still pronounce the full vowel in the unstressed word.)
---
Many phrasal verbs can be made into nouns by removing the space and changing the stress.
take off / takeoff
work out / workout
check in / checkin
check out / checkout
hand out / handout
print out / printout
---
Other (non-phrasal) verbs and nouns also differ only in pronunciation:
record
present
produce
conduct
increase
decrease
(unit/unite)

Handout p. 45-46 exercise 8 in pairs
---
produce (n) - ‘o’ sounds like /o/
product, project (n) - ‘o’ sounds like /ɑ/ (the “short O” sound)
“That product is in our produce section.”
---
Initialisms - abbreviations that include the first letter of each word
(The pronunciation rules apply to any time we say a list of letters and digits: IV = intravenous, mp3 “empethree”, hbu = “how about you?”)
---
(Some people say acronyms are only the ones pronounced as words: NASA, scuba, radar, OPEC, UNESCO, etc.)
---
p. 47 exercise 9 - Practice pronouncing these initialisms

Many TLAs (three-leter acronyms) have more than one possible meaning depending on the context.
DMV = DC / Maryland / Virginia
DMV = Department of Motor Vehicles
