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