The Phrasal Verbs Machine
Free AppAbout The Phrasal Verbs Machine
- At Cambridge University Press, we know that Phrasal verbs are complicated for non-native English speakers to learn and use. We also know that it's essential to use them if we want our writing and speaking to sound natural. However, studying unending lists doesn't seem to be the best way to learn and use them efficiently. Phrasal verbs are, more than anything, action. And action must be visual. The more visually stimulating the learning, the better we will understand and assimilate the phrasal verbs.
- That's why we decided to reach out to The Amazing Phraso, our phrasal verb expert, to see if he could help us with the visual part. In this application, we can find animated illustrations of 100 phrasal verbs set in the circus world of our main character Phraso and his friends.
- Frequently, phrasal verbs can have more than one meaning. In the examples we've chosen, you can sometimes find the most common and well-known meaning while other times we use the more obscure one. In any case, you can always find an example sentence in English and the translation into five different languages. We've also included other meanings when they are useful or necessary to fully understand the phrasal verb.
- We hope that the Phrasal Verbs Machine will help you lose your fear of phrasal verbs and show you that, with the right tools, using them is easier than it looks. We hope you find it useful!

During exercises when I click on a wrong answer there is no possibility to get a hint for the right solution. So the learning effect tends to zero. Aside from that you have to install Adobe Air which is completely unnecessary.

I have downloded this app. It gave me enough boost to strengthen my vocabulary. Still I am learning and exercising on it. It is very good and useful app for beginners and Pioneers. The main thing is that all the phrases were illustrated with suitable animations and easily notable diagrams.

The app you brought about is trementously great. I wish it could have consisted more verbs than it has now. Foe ecample, the phrasel verb "bring about" is not included into it. The method of presenting them is also uniue and quite effective. I request the app developer team to add more phrasel verbs as much as it can with an updation. Regards.

As a TEFL teacher, I can highly recommend this free app by Cambridge. Phrasal verbs can be tricky to teach and difficult for the students to grasp, therefore this a fantastic extra resource to have in the arsenal. Did I mention that it is free?

If you can not learn by heart something and you have a great memory ,this app that's actually a game ,has exercises and a brief movie explains the meaning of each phrasal verb.though its hard to use it on a phone because of battery.it is very useful but better use it on a appropiate device or on a tablet.
