As a teacher you can point out to your students what phrasal verbs are giving them some examples and encouraging them to pay attention to phrasal verbs when they listen to English audio books, TV/radio programs, podcasts, etc. As long as your students are aware of the fact that learning English is an ongoing process they will also pick up new phrasal verbs subconsciously.
If a student is interested in learning more about phrasal verbs, I usually direct them to materials such as phrasal verb break or phrasal verb bring. The important thing is to help students become aware of the fact that learning phrasal verbs is a process that requires different methods and activities.

| Thanks, Torsten. Getting students to notice phrasal verbs is a good thing. |
Tell me, would you suggest beginning from use?

You probably shouldn't simply make up a definition for "phrasal verb", but you could look it up in a dictionary. You just may come across a definition there. ;) :lol: . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |

I think you can do without knowing what it is :) Believe me, most native speakers of English, when asked what it is, whould shrug their shoulders in perplexion, but they use them just as well. |
