Conversational Phrases Answer Key

In this worksheet, students transform formal sentences into more conversational language by replacing formal verbs with appropriate phrasal verbs. Each original sentence contains a verb commonly used in academic or professional writing, and students must supply a natural-sounding phrasal verb that preserves the meaning. This exercise strengthens students’ ability to adapt tone and register for real-life communication. It also increases familiarity with high-frequency phrasal verbs used in spoken English. By rewriting all ten sentences, learners practice precise vocabulary choice, style awareness, and syntactic flexibility. The task encourages students to understand nuance and apply vocabulary creatively while maintaining clarity and correctness.
