Mix and Match Movers

This worksheet is designed for students in Grades 5 and 6 to strengthen vocabulary, grammar, and sentence-writing skills through hands-on practice with phrasal verbs. Students pair verb stems with particles to form correct phrasal verbs, then write original sentences that demonstrate accurate meaning and usage. This approach helps learners see how verb-particle combinations create new meanings that are not always predictable from the individual words.
