Unlock English: A Story-Based Guide to Phrasal Verbs (A2-B1)

Welcome to Step into English: 30 Short Stories for Real-Life Learning – a practical and enjoyable journey through the world of phrasal verbs!

If you’ve ever felt confused by expressions like “take on,” “call back,” or “drop off,” you’re not alone. Phrasal verbs are everywhere in English – in conversations, TV shows, emails, and daily routines – and yet they can be one of the trickiest parts of the language for learners to master. That’s why I’ve created this book.

Inside, you’ll find 30 original short stories, each built around 10 common phrasal verbs used in real-life situations: job hunting, moving house, travelling, making friends, studying, and more. These stories are written especially for A2–B1 learners, so they’re simple, relatable, and full of useful vocabulary.

At the end of each story, you’ll see:

A list of the phrasal verbs used, with clear meanings.

A short gap-fill exercise to help you practise them in context.

Whether you're preparing for an exam, improving your speaking skills, or just want to sound more natural in English, this book will help you see, understand, and use phrasal verbs confidently.

So grab a pen, make yourself a cup of tea, and dive in. Let these stories bring English to life—one phrasal verb at a time!

Happy reading and learning!
