  • Phrasal Verbs and Expressions Based on Common Verbs..

    Hi everybody...
    The next posts deal with phrasal verbs and other expressions based on common verbs.
    Phrasal Verbs are basic verbs which can combine with different prepositions (or particles) to make verbs with completely new – and often unguessable – meanings. Phrasal verbs are used more in speaking than in writing.

    Here are some of the most useful phrasal verbs based on do and make.
    [We'll have to do without a holiday this yer as money is short. [manage without
    [Slavery was not done away with until the nineteenth century. [abolished
    [(He did me out of my rightful inheritance. [prevent from having (by deceit

    Let's make for the city center and find a restaurant on the way. [move in the direction of]
    What do you make of him? [think (opinion)]
    He made off as soon as he heard their car turn into the drive. [left hurriedly]
    The superb food at the hotel made up for the uncomfortable rooms. [compensate for]
    He made up to her until she agreed to help. [was nice to in order to get sth]

    ............................

    There sre a lot of other common expressions based on do and make. Note that most ezpressions referring to work or duty use do whereas those which lead to an end product (e.g. tea, a cake, a noise, a toy boat, a profit) use make.

    You do: the housework / some gardening / the wasing up / homework / your best / the shopping / the cooking / bussiness with....., and so on.

    You make: arrangements / an agreement / a suggestion / a decision / acuo of tea / war / an attempt / a phone call / the best of ... / an effort / an excuse / a mistake / aprofit of .. / a loss / love / the most of / a noise / a good or a bad impression / a success of ... / a go (a succes) of ..., and so on.

        دنيا غريبه والبشر مثلها أغراب
        لو هي صفت لك ما صفوا لك بشرها
        تعطيك من لذتها كل ما طاب
        تغريك ثم تغرقك في بحرها
        وانا عطتني دنيتي الزين والشعر منها شاب
        واللي بنا دنيتي هو نفسه اللي دمرها
