PHRASAL VERBS

Note: This post is all about what we have discussed in class for one day, since we only had reporting last Monday. We weren't able to meet this Thursday because of the preparation for the Metrowide Shake Drill, I supposed. Well, it is good to be ready and informed on what we have to do in case the "Big One" occur (hopefully, it will not occur *let's keep our  fingers crossed* ) PHRASAL VERB is a verb plus a preposition or adverb which create a meaning different from the original.
