Mix and Match Movers

Students pair verb stems with particles to create correct phrasal verbs, then write original sentences showing correct usage. This activity teaches how verb-particle combinations form new meanings not always predictable from the individual words. Students practice constructing phrasal verbs and applying them in context, reinforcing vocabulary and grammar knowledge. The creative sentence-writing component helps learners demonstrate full understanding of each phrasal verb’s meaning.
