Phrasal verbs — Vocabulary words for kids

Word tip

Verb + small word = new meaning — “the small word (up, off, after …) changes what the verb means”

1. Treat the verb and the small word as one unit with its own meaning.
2. Use the sentence to guess the meaning: “The match was called off because of rain” = cancelled.
3. Changing the small word changes the meaning: look after (take care of), look up (find in a dictionary).

Use it for: Natural spoken and written English, phrasal verb questions in Class 7–10 tests, and competitive English.

Worked example: Fill the gap with the right small word: The match was called ___ because of rain. → off
