Grade 7 Phrasal Verbs Worksheet from The City School, 2019-20 academic year.

The task in the image is to identify the phrasal verbs in each sentence. A phrasal verb is a combination of a verb and one or more particles (prepositions or adverbs) that together create a meaning different from the original verb.

Let’s go through each sentence and identify the phrasal verb:

---

1. I look forward to seeing my friends again.
✔ Phrasal verb: *look forward to*
→ "Look forward to" means to be excited about something in the future.

2. I'm afraid; we have run out of apple juice. Will an orange juice do?
✔ Phrasal verb: *run out of*
→ Means to use up all of something.

3. Your website has helped me a lot to keep up the good work.
✘ Wait! This is not correct.
Actually, *keep up* is a phrasal verb, but it's used incorrectly here.
The correct phrasal verb is keep up with, meaning to stay at the same level as others.
But the sentence says: *"keep up the good work"* — this is not a phrasal verb.
→ "Keep up" here is part of the idiomatic expression "keep up the good work", which is not a phrasal verb in the grammatical sense.
So, this is NOT a phrasal verb.
🔍 Correction: No phrasal verb in this sentence.

4. A friend of mine has called off her wedding.
✔ Phrasal verb: *called off*
→ Means to cancel.

5. His mother can't put up with his terrible behavior anymore.
✔ Phrasal verb: *put up with*
→ Means to tolerate.

6. As an excuse for being late, she made up a whole story.
✔ Phrasal verb: *made up*
→ Means to invent (a lie).

7. I got carried away by his enthusiasm.
✔ Phrasal verb: *carried away*
→ Means to become too excited or emotional.

8. I just cannot do without my mobile. I always keep it with me.
✘ No phrasal verb here.
→ "Keep it with me" is not a phrasal verb.
"Keep" is a regular verb, and "with me" is a prepositional phrase.
🔍 No phrasal verb.

9. She was very sad because her father passed away last week.
✔ Phrasal verb: *passed away*
→ Means died (polite expression).

10. Complete the phrasal verbs with the correct particles.
⚠️ This is an instruction, not a sentence with a phrasal verb.
So, no phrasal verb here.

11. I don't know where my book is. I must look for it.
✔ Phrasal verb: *look for*
→ Means to search for something.

12. Fill in the form, please.
✔ Phrasal verb: *fill in*
→ Means to complete a form.

13. Quick, get on the bus or you'll have to walk home.
✔ Phrasal verb: *get on*
→ Means to board (a vehicle).
