How is your learning progressing? You should keep going and continue studying phrasal verbs.

From the intermediate level onward, you will expand your vocabulary, and the number of phrasal verbs you learn will also increase.

For some of these verbs, you will need to learn multiple meanings.

When learning meanings, it is sometimes necessary to check a dictionary to see if a verb has more than one meaning.

Good luck with your learning! 😊
