Phrasal verbs (5 sentences) - Part I

1. My sister often gives me her clothes away; the funny thing is that sometimes she asks me to give some of them back.
2. The applicant didn't come on time, but turned up when somebody hardly expected to see her.
3. From time to time he craves setting off somewhere for couple days and coming back relaxed and renewed.

5. It is vital for me to fill up with food before a tough task that requires deep focus, otherwise there is a risk that I will become bad-tempered.

1. She gives her clothes away (to other people). I said "asks" because you said sometimes and that makes it possible, not one time in the past.

2. Expected because you used the past (turned) and in English we want the pasts to be the same.

3. I don't know why. This sounds better to my ears. Maybe another user can weigh in on this.

4. If you hurry into the door, that means she walked and hit a closed door. If she walked to the door, she walked in that direction (with the intention of leaving).

5. Full is the past tense. It is vital is present tense, so I changed that and requires (because we want them in the same tense). There is a risk meaning it is possible in the future because of what you are doing in the present. That is why I changed it to the future.

I hope I didn't confuse you. :-)
