Phrasal-prepositional verbs are made up of three parts: a verb, an adverb particle and a preposition. They are always transitive (have a direct object) and are often used in informal contexts. The adverb particle and the preposition cannot be separated, with the exception of the following verbs, which take a direct object after the verb : fix someone up with something , fob someone off with something , let someone in on something , put something down to something , put someone up to something, take something out on someone.
As the name clearly indicates, this section of the Advanced exam is designed to test your lexical (vocabulary) skills. In this task there is a text with ten gaps (plus one example), then at the end of each line with a gap you will see a word in capital letters, eg USE. You must form a new word based on the word in capitals to fill the gap. So. from USE, you might form useful, usefully, usefulness, useless, user, usage, etc.
