We'll start with the 'Don'ts. Do NOT do any of the following things: * Attempt to memorise lists of phrasal verbs alphabetically, or in the way that you might learn lists of food or clothes. This does not work. * Do not try to find out the 'meaning' of phrasal verbs out of context. Phrasal verbs have no meaning without context. We can't tell you what 'make out' means because it can mean many different things in different sentences * Do not do anything as simplistic as learning 'Give up = Stop' and thinking that you can always replace 'stop' with 'give up', for example. You can't. * Do not try to analyse phrasal verbs internally, by trying to work out the connection between 'break up' and 'break out', or wondering what the 'up' or the 'out' means. This doesn't work either. * Do not look for a direct translation into Russian. This is not helpful, and it will not tell you how to use phrasal verbs. So what should you do? You should always learn phrasal verbs IN CONTEXT. Look at real examples of how native speakers use phrasal verbs. Don't just look at the verb and wonder what it means. Look at the entire context and the precise way that the phrasal verb fits into the native speaker's sentence, such as whether it separates or not. Practise making your own sentences that are as close as possible to the original sentence and the original context. That is the way that we learn to use them as native speakers, and it is the only way that works.
