Comment progresser après ce corrigé
Les phrasal verbs s’apprennent en contexte : note chaque nouveau verbe avec une phrase exemple complète, et range-les par particule (up, out, on) plutôt que par ordre alphabétique. Regarde une série en version originale et repère les exclamations des personnages : tu remarqueras vite qu’elles suivent toujours le même moule, what + nom ou how + adjectif. Enfin, pratique à voix haute avec une intonation descendante : c’est elle qui rend l’exclamation naturelle.
