Phrasal Verbs and the Continuous Forms
Today’s grammar video is about how to use phrasal verbs in the continuous forms (with -ing). In English we use present continuous to say something is happening now, at this moment. We use past continuous when a longer action in the past is interrupted by a shorter action. This week’s exercise is a good way to see if you can use the continuous tenses properly and introduces you to some new phrasal verbs.
Watch the video and try the exercises below:
