A long alphabetical idiom list doesn’t stick, and most people give up on it within a week. This guide organizes idioms and phrasal verbs by theme, by separability, and by communicative function, three different angles on the same small set, so the pattern sticks instead of the list.
What’s inside:
– An idioms bank of 25 idioms organized by workplace theme, each with meaning, example sentence, and a register note flagging which ones are fine in a meeting and which sound too casual with a client
– A separable phrasal verbs section covering which phrasal verbs allow the object between the verb and particle
– A communicative function section organizing expressions by what they do
– A full worked dialogue between two colleagues discussing a delayed project
– A 15-question gap-fill practice exercise with a complete answer key
File Type: PDF (.pdf), 8 pages
Topic & Level: Idioms and phrasal verbs, B1-C1+
Special Features: 3 organizing systems in one guide (theme, separability, function)
