Synopsis

In English, catch up does not mean the same thing as the words catch and up, used separately. If you know what catch means, and you know what up means, you still don’t always know what catch up means. I’m talking about that kind of verb here. This book is intended for someone whose first language is not American English. My years of teaching American English to the foreign-born have taught me that many people come to the United States speaking English very well already, but they have difficulty with the English prepositional verbs that they hear in daily life or on TV, or that they read in the newspapers or on websites. There are 341 prepositional verbs explained in this book. All the verbs are in one continuous list. This will make it easier for the reader to find the verb in question. Consequently, there is no index in this book. Verbs are presented in this format: (new line) ante up in Poker, to put your money in the center area of the table (new line) [not separable](new line) Joe, you didn’t ante up.
