Here’s a vocabulary lesson for learners who are intermediate and above. The material introduces some multi-word verbs in context, looks at meaning and form before allowing some guided practice of the language.

This lesson also attempts to show that multi-word verbs are polysemic and often idiomatic. Even though these multi-word verbs contain weather words, they have nothing to do with the weather. This serve to highlight the fact that meaning comes from context and not from the lexical chunk.
