Hi strout

What do you mean by "intention" exactly?

Phrasal verbs are simply groups of words which together have one meaning. You should explain to your students that each phrasal verb has to be learned as one single piece of vocabulary.

If you have already taught the students other "chunks" of English (whole phrases or sentences, for example), then dealing with phrasal verbs shouldn't be too hard.

Hi Strout,

I've written a series of stories showing how phrasal verbs are used, which you may find interesting:

Phrasal verb bring

Phrasal verb hold
http://www.english-test.net/lessons/10/index.html

These are two and there are others listed below those two.
