How would you explain to your students which phrasal verb you would
choose and why?
Your Answer:
"break down" is used to talk when one big piece fragments into smaller
pieces (break down a problem / nervous break down)
Suggested answer: “Break up” is the correct answer because
“break down” refers to something not working properly. “Break
up” refers to two people who have quit dating. People can’t
“break down” unless you are using the phrase to mean “break
down and cry.”
How would you explain to your students which phrasal verb you would
choose and why?
That book cost too much. I was really (ripped up/ripped off).
Your Answer:
How would you explain to your students why the first sentence is
incorrect and the second sentence is correct?
"blew up" in sentence 2 is transitive and "the car" is the direct object.
As such, the direct object can go in between both words.
