the Remember phrasal verbs in context box at the end of File C in each unit in your SB;
also, please note that there is an exercise on the most common phrasal verbs at the end of the photocopy pack .

GERUND OR INFINITIVE (WITH /WITHOUT TO)

This is the KEY to the exercises on ING versus INFINITIVE which was handed out in class when we were doing File 6A and which I didn't have time to do with all the groups. Those of you who still haven't got a copy might be able to find one in the EXTRA PHOTOCOPIES box in the classroom.

The Lily doll was NOT named after Rolf Hausser's wife because it was Beuthin who first named the character, so it was just a coincidence that Hausser's wife's name was also Lily!!
