Ok, it's time for Flashback Friday again. Here's the next installment of useful phrasal verbs from a past issue. We were looking at the verb check, which most of you probably know. However, I suspect that there are a few phrases that you don't know about. So, check it out!
e.Front’s English Corner - Volume 1, Issue 4
Hello everyone! In this issue of e.Front’s English Corner we’ll be checking out the word check. Most of you will be familiar with the phrases check in and check out. For example, people check into hotels at the beginning of their holiday and at the end they check out, but below are some other uses of this word.
This issue’s word: Check
1. “I’ve finished the report. Can you check it over before I hand it in?”
2. “I need to go to the Doctor for a check up.”
3. “Excuse me. Can I get the check, please?”
4. “Many British politicians need a reality check!”
5. “This new medicine is helping to keep my allergy in check.”
That’s it for this time. Be sure to check us out next time!
