Phrasal Verbs
Phrasal verbs are formed when a main verb is combined with a particle (a preposition or adverb), producing an idiomatic meaning that differs from the verb on its own.
Phrasal verbs are tricky because they often carry multiple, non-literal meanings and follow specific grammatical rules—such as whether the verb and particle can be separated.

Examples:
Make+up = make up meaning to invent something
Make up: to apply cosmetics to one's face
Break down: to stop working
Break down: to become upset

Interrogative Adjectives vs. Interrogative Pronouns

🔑'What', 'which', and 'whose' can function as both adjectives and pronouns.

👉When immediately followed by a noun, they function as interrogative adjectives.
👉When not followed by a noun, they function as interrogative pronouns.
🔹 To remember: All interrogative adjectives are question words, but not all question words are interrogative adjectives.
Examples:
- "Which pen do you want?"
→ “Which” is an adjective modifying the noun “pen.”

- "Which is your pen?"
→ “Which” functions as a pronoun—it replaces the noun instead of modifying it.

Remember 👉
'Your' is determiner.
'Yours' is pronoun.
Don't forget to use indirect object after 'tell.'
Say 'Lucy told Julie that she was writing.
Don't say 'Lucy told that...' 👉
Instead say, 'Lucy said that..' 😎
Use 'Take place' when to talk about something happening. (Used for scheduled event). For general occurrence use 'happen.'
