portmanteau = a word formed by combining parts of two (or more) other words

swogging = swimming + jogging
brunch = breakfast + lunch
frenemy = friend + enemy
Spanglish = Spanish + English
(blog = web + log)
smog = smoke + fog
pokemon = poketto + monsuta (pocket + monster)
---
Language focus: phrasal verbs
verb + particle, with a (sometimes very) different meaning from the verb alone

clean / clean up
fill / fill up
dry / dry out
finish / finish up / finish out
- often “out” and “up” as particles add the meaning of “completely”

Put your hat on the table. - put (verb) + on (preposition)
Put your hat on. - phrasal verb “put on” (“on” is a particle)
---
p. 71 part 5 - Which of these is not a phrasal verb?
“come out of” is a verb with prepositions = “leave” or “exit”

I came across a bridge.
phrasal verb meaning: I discovered a bridge (during my hike, for example).
verb+preposition meaning: I went over a bridge to come here.
---
separable phrasal verbs = phrasal verbs with an object that can come between the verb and the particle
Put on the shoes. = Put the shoes on.
Put them on. - Pronoun objects must go between the verb and the particle.

inseparable phrasal verbs = phrasal verbs with an object that can’t come between
I came across something interesting.

three-word verbs with two objects:
He took us up on the invitation.
---
part 7 - With a partner, put the objects in the correct positions in the text
1 get over this (“get over” is inseparable)
2 setting them up (“set...up” is separable)
3 hit on it (“hit on” is inseparable)
4 fell back on some salsa music
5 getting out of dangerous situations (three-word verbs with one object are (almost?) always inseparable)
6 carrying them out (“carry...out” is separable)

get over = overcome, move past
set...up = establish, arrange
come about = happen
hit on = come up with / discover through inspiration
fall back on = rely on again or as backup (if something else goes wrong)
take off = ascend (possibly figurative: to become very popular or successful)
(“get out of” really isn’t a phrasal verb)
carry...out = do, practice, go through with
---
part 9 - Put the words in the correct order with your partner
1 I’m thinking of taking up Pilates. / taking Pilates up.
2 It took me forever to get over it.
3 He set it up last year.
4 We couldn’t get out of it.
5 The doctor is going to carry out some tests on my knee.
6 How did you hit on that idea?
7 Don’t throw that away!
8 It takes me back to my childhood.

Sometimes separating a separable phrasal verb is not bad grammar but bad style:
Turn the light in the garage over your mom’s car on.
-> Turn on the light in the garage over your mom’s car. (meaning is clearer with “turn on” together)
---
BREAK
---
p. 71 part 10 - First make sure you understand all the phrasal verbs, then ask and answer the questions with your partner.
1 set...aside = reserve
2 go in for = be interested in doing
3 take...up = start to do (especially as a hobby)
4 keep up with = follow, stay updated, know the latest information about
5 join in with = be together with
6 put...off = delay, postpone, procrastinate
---
verbs with “out” and “off”:

get out = leave from “in” somewhere
get off = leave from “on” somewhere

take out = remove from “in”
take off = remove from “on”

cut out = forcibly remove from “in”
cut off = forcibly remove from “on”
---
podcasts = downloadable “radio” programs from the Internet, which can be about any topic you like
---
p. 73 part 14 - Discuss one of the topics with your partner.
---
“get back on the horse” = return to doing something after something bad happened (like getting back on a horse after being injured while riding)
out of left field = from a very unexpected direction
in the ballpark = approximately
