Phrasal Verbs for Daily Routines Exercises

Phrasal verbs are everywhere in daily English conversation. When describing your morning routine, you wake up, get up, put on your clothes, and set off for work or school. During the day, you might turn on your computer, pick up your children, or tidy up your room. In the evening, you take off your shoes, sit down to eat, and eventually turn off the lights and go to sleep. Knowing these phrasal verbs makes your English sound natural and fluent.

Daily routine phrasal verbs are some of the easiest to remember because you do these actions every day. A good study technique is to describe your own routine using as many phrasal verbs as possible: "I wake up at seven, get up straight away, put on my work clothes, and set off at half past seven." Most of these verbs are separable, so remember the pronoun rule: "I put them on" (not "I put on them"). These everyday phrasal verbs appear in Cambridge A2 Key and B1 Preliminary exams, usually in listening exercises about daily life. Practising them in context is the fastest way to make them part of your active vocabulary.
