How to study this deck

These phrasal verbs appear in daily routines: wake up, turn on, put on, clean up. Learn each with a real object ("turn on the light", "put on your shoes"). Check whether the verb is separable: with a pronoun it always goes in the middle ("turn it on"), not at the end ("turn on it").

The trickiest words

turn on / turn off: to switch on and off lights and devices. With a pronoun: "turn it off", not "turn off it".
put on / take off: put on is to wear and take off is to remove. For a plane, take off means depart.
hang out: it means to spend time with friends. It is informal: "Let's hang out on Friday".

Examples in context

I wake up at six every day.
I'll pick up some milk on the way home.
We like to hang out at the park.
He works out every morning.
We check out at eleven tomorrow.
Let me freshen up before we go.
Let's just chill out this weekend.
I ticked off everything on my to-do list.

Mini dialogue

A: I wake up at six and get up at six thirty.
