Apa Itu Phrasal Verbs dan Kenapa Penting untuk SPM?
Phrasal verb ialah kata kerja yang digabungkan dengan preposisi atau adverb sehingga mewujudkan maksud yang berbeza daripada kata kerja asalnya. Contohnya, “give up” tidak bermaksud menyerahkan sesuatu — ia bermaksud berhenti mencuba.
SPM English menguji phrasal verbs dalam beberapa cara:
- Cloze passages (Paper 1) — isikan phrasal verb yang betul
- Comprehension (Paper 1) — fahami phrasal verbs dalam konteks
- Penulisan esei — guna phrasal verbs untuk menunjukkan kekayaan kosa kata

Cara Belajar Phrasal Verbs dengan Berkesan
1. Belajar dalam Konteks
Jangan hafal “bring up = mention.” Belajar dalam ayat penuh supaya lebih mudah diingati.
2. Kumpulkan Mengikut Kata Kerja Asas
Belajar semua phrasal verbs yang guna kata kerja asas sama:
- Take up, take after, take over
- Look up, look after, look into, look up to
3. Guna dalam Esei
Cabar diri anda untuk menggunakan 3-5 phrasal verbs dalam setiap esei. Ini menunjukkan kepada pemeriksa bahawa anda mempunyai kosa kata yang luas.
Perangkap Biasa Cloze Passage SPM
“She has to look _____ her younger brother every afternoon.”
- A. at B. for C. after D. up
Jawapan: C (after) kerana “look after” bermaksud menjaga. Pelajar yang tidak mengenali phrasal verbs sering meneka “at.”
