Phrasal verbs for MP students and ...........................
We are almost finished with our list of phrasal verbs, There are many more phrasal verbs and newer uses are being recorded. We shall discuss about some of them along the way. First of all let us finish our job at hand. My purpose has been to help the ordinary students who have limited access to guidance or who cannot afford the fees for private tuition.
Page no-876 (ABTA TEST PAPERS)
- My grandfather will recover soon.( My grandfather will come round soon. )= come round
- The rainy season sets in every year in June.( begins )
- Never look down upon the poor. ( hate )
- Cholera has broken out in our locality. ( suddenly spread )
- Our ambitious project has fallen through due to lack of money. ( has failed )
We have completed the grammar portion from the ABTA Test papers. We have deliberately left out the article and preposition part. I have already discussed how the article and common prepositions are
to be used. We make a lot of mistakes with the prepositions. My suggestion to you is very simple. As there is no hard and fast rules we have to follow the conventions. The best way to learn the use of correct prepositions is to read story books by eminent authors and writers. Follow them and try to remember them. There are certain common prepositions which are used according to their meaning. As for examples--- we know the meaning of on, up, over and above. These four common prepositions indicate something is 'up' something. But each of them has a slightly different meaning.
1. Put the book on the table.
2. Stand up on the bench.
3.Do not sit on the broken chair.
If you study these sentences you will surely notice that when something is touching something we use on. ON is also used as a time preposition.
Apratim is coming here on 15th instant or on Monday.
UP means something going up. It is not touching anything.
The balloon is going up.
ABOVE means very high----The sun is shining above our head.
OVER means crossing something, moving up and above and then again touching the ground.
There is a bridge over the river. You cannot build a bridge on, up or above the river, can you ?
