3. Read.
Read this email written to two people who are going to spend a week in a friend's house. What does it describe? Choose the correct answer.
Dear Alan and Kate,
Hi. Hope you have a good time staying here. Here are the instructions that I promised I'd leave you. The first thing you need to do is turn on the water heater – it's in the cupboard under the stairs. Plug it in and then you can turn it on. The switch is on the left. After you do this you should see the red light on the screen come on. There are also some buttons – press the one that says "hot". Give the water about half an hour to heat up and then you can use it. Oh, and don't use the washing machine at the same time or the water goes cold! Don't leave the heater on when you go out. Turn it off and unplug it – we don't want any accidents! See you next week.
Jo
4. Missing words.
Look at the email again. Use the vocabulary below to complete the note. Drag the words to the gap, or you can click the word and then click the gap.
5. Using pronouns with the verbs.
I turned off the TV and went to bed.
In the sentence above turn off means "to disconnect from the electricity supply".
Turn off is a separable phrasal verb: the complement, TV, can go between the verb and the particle, off. If you use a pronoun, it MUST go between the verb and the particle. Compare the examples:
I turn off the TV. Correct.
I turn the TV off. Correct.
Yes, I turned it off. Correct.
Yes, I turned off it. Incorrect.
Read the first sentence, and then put the pronoun in the correct position in the second sentence.
For more information about phrasal verbs and pronouns see the Grammar Reference.
