Put on / put off

February 2nd, 2009 · 1 Comment

Got an email from Nick, a friend and attendee of a workshop that I gave a while back. He sent me some of his students’ sketches:

Apparently the language point was ‘put on’ and ‘put off’:

  • Put on weight
  • Put on the TV
  • Put up petrol prices
  • Put up your hand
  • Put up posters
  • Didn’t put on his clothes

Nick tells me that his students enjoyed seeing the images at later dates (the drawings were scanned and presented full size on a projector). This gave them an opportunity to revise the various meanings of the two phrasal verbs.

    Great way of remembering phrasal verbs, phrases or vocab. Will be using that myself. Thanks.
