Hello everybody,

It’s phrasal verb time again, but what exactly are phrasal verbs?

They are 2-3 word idiomatic phrases which are often used by native speakers.

Have a look at these two common business phrasal verbs:

fall through

Definition:
to fail or stop in a sudden or final way

Example sentences:
I’m afraid our plans to open a new store have fallen through.
The sale of the company fell through.

to fill in for somebody

Definition:
to take the place of (someone who is away for a time)

Example sentences:
Susan is ill today. Can you fill in for her?
Thank you for filling in for me while I was away.
Maybe I can help you, I’m filling in for Mr Daniels this week.

Can you create your own sentences using this vocabulary? Why not try it out?

All the best,

Derek
