Thank you very much. By the way, what do you think of our Comenius project? Do you think we did a good job?
I still have a few setences on phrasal verbs I'd like you to check. (especially the reprhase of 1)
1) I can't understand the various meanings of "bring on". For example:
They brought on the film director at the end of the screening.
2) Can you give me an example of "bring on/upon somebody phrasal verb
meaning making something unpleasant happen to someone)
3) Stress can bring on an asthma attack.
Flowers can bring on a fit of asthma (to me?)
He is a trainer and brings on young athlets
4) She tried to get on her own way by turning on the charm (How would you rephrase it?)
5) She had never let on (revealed? I need a synonym) that she wanted to become a model.
6) He is very interested in music and always puts on (organizes?? I need a synonym) an end-of-term concert.
7) You have always been willing to take on extra work.You have always agreed to do extra work.
8) Just because you have the same taste in music as someone else, doesn't necessarily mean that you get on (have friendly relationship with each other ???)
I find your Comenius project fascinating. I hope you will keep posting updates about how everything's going as it all progresses. =)
1) I can't understand the various meanings of "bring on". For example:
They brought on the film director at the end of the screening.
It sounds as if someone made sure the director of the film went onstage after the movie was shown, probably to praise him.
2) Can you give me an example of "bring on/upon somebody phrasal verb
meaning making something unpleasant happen to someone)
His illegal actions brought terrible humiliation down on his family.
3) Stress can bring on an asthma attack.
Flowers can bring on a fit of asthma (to me?)
He is a trainer and brings young athletes onto the field.
4) She tried to get on her own way by turning on the charm (How would you rephrase it?)
She tried to them to do what she wanted by acting very charming.
5) She had never revealed that she wanted to become a model.
yes
6) He is very interested in music and always organizes an end-of-term concert.
yes
7) You have always been willing to take on extra work. You have always agreed to do extra work. yes
8) Just because you have the same taste in music as someone else, doesn't necessarily mean that you get along well in all ways.
Although, I like the extensive list that's given in the ESLCafe website, I really like the way phrasal verbs are organized here:
http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/phrasals.htm
separable
inseparable
three-word
intransitive
Both are really good references, but it depends on how you want to find information -- by use or alphabetically.
1) To understand the various meanings of "bring on," you can consult a dictionary or a reliable online resource. These sources will provide you with definitions and examples of how the phrasal verb is used in different contexts. Additionally, you can explore grammar books or online tutorials that explain phrasal verbs in general, which will help you understand the patterns and structures they follow.
2) An example of "bring on/upon somebody" with the meaning of making something unpleasant happen to someone can be: The poor weather brought on a cold for him.
3) The sentence "Flowers can bring on a fit of asthma" is correct. However, the pronoun "me" is unnecessary in this context unless you are specifically referring to yourself.
4) A possible rephrasing of "She tried to get on her own way by turning on the charm" could be: She attempted to achieve her goals by using her charm.
5) A synonym for "revealed" in the sentence "She had never let on that she wanted to become a model" could be "disclosed" or "confessed."
6) A synonym for "puts on" in the sentence "He is very interested in music and always puts on an end-of-term concert" could be "organizes" or "arranges."
7) The rephrasing of "You have always been willing to take on extra work" to "You have always agreed to do extra work" is accurate and conveys the same meaning.
8) "Just because you have the same taste in music as someone else, doesn't necessarily mean that you get on" can be rephrased to "Having the same taste in music as someone else doesn't necessarily mean you have a friendly relationship."
