Must-Have Phrasal Verbs
The ONLY phrasal verbs you'll EVER need!

a Mr. Vig checklist

Did you know...

The English language has about 8,000 phrasal verbs.*

Most phrasal verbs have 2... 3... 4... or more definitions.

If you learned just two definitions for every phrasal verb that would
be... 24,000 phrasal verbs!

What a headache!

But because you have this checklist, now you don’t have to!

Researchers at The University of Nottingham** have discovered that native

speakers only use a small number of phrasal verbs in conversation.
In fact, just 150 phrasal verbs are used 83% of the time!

With this checklist, you can quickly find out which phrasal verbs you
already know, which phrasal verbs you’re missing, and then get ready to
finally understand native speakers when they ask you to sum up, hang out or
look out.

Note: The phrasal verbs are listed in order of frequency: from most to least
common.

Cheers,
