   REMEMBER THIS
   Most phrasal verbs in Exercises 3 and 4 collocate with an object. With most of them, the object can go either after the whole phrasal verb, e.g. try on a shirt, or between the verb and the preposition, e.g. try a shirt on. You can check the position of an object in an entry for every phrasal verb in a dictionary. For example, the entry take sth off means that the phrasal verb is separable and the entry look after sb/sth means that the phrasal verb is inseparable. Remember, some phrasal verbs don't need an object, e.g. get up.

Stylish or not?

What do you think?

She’s very trendy. She’s wearing a hat on her head, sunglasses and she’s got a big scarf round her neck. It’s difficult to see what kind of top she’s wearing under her leather coat – is it a thin jacket? I don’t think it’s a tracksuit. She’s wearing very close-fitting trousers - I think they are black jeans. On her feet… are they shoes or trainers? It’s difficult to say for sure. They aren’t boots. They are too small.

She looks cool – and she knows it! 8/10

He looks good. He’s wearing a dark suit. It’s isn’t too tight or too loose. The jacket and trousers fit him well. He’s wearing white shirt. And a dark tie. His shoes are black. We can’t see his socks – I’m sure they are dark.

He is stylish and smart. 7/10
