Remember, these phrasal verbs are not “bring + particle” but rather units, so learn them as such!

Put these verbs in the correct sentence, conjugated as necessary.  You may want to look these words up in a dictionary, as they may have secondary meanings! (Just like in that sentence: “look up” isn’t just “turn your eyes to the sky”, it’s also “find information in a reference book”!)
