3. Phrasal Verbs A phrasal verb is a verb plus a preposition or adverb (verb + adverb or verb + preposition) which creates a meaning different from the original verb. "Get" is a verb. "Get up", is also a verb, a different verb. "Get" and "get up" are two different verbs. They do not have the same meaning. So you should treat each phrasal verb as a separate verb, and learn it like any other verb. Example: I ran into an old friend last night = run + into → meet You can look up my number in the telephone directory = look + up → search for and find information in a reference book Like many other verbs, phrasal verbs often have more than one meaning: Example: GO OFF → EXPLODE = The bomb could go off at any moment → BEGIN = The alarm clock went off at 6:00 AM. As well as learning their meanings, you need to learn how to use phrasal verbs properly.

4. Reported Speech How we report another person's words → We can do that in two different ways: - by repeating the exact words spoken (direct speech) - by reporting the words spoken (reported speech) Direct speech repeats, or quotes, the exact words spoken. When we use direct speech in writing, we use quotation marks. Example: Rose said: "I have to finish this report." Reported speech doesn't repeat the exact words spoken and we don't use quotation marks. It's mostly used to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense of the words spoken. Example: Rose said that she had to finish that report. The structure is a little different depending on whether you want to report a statement, question or request.
