Grammar Focus
Understand the grammar rule behind this lesson's topic
Grammar focus
Focus: Phrasal Verbs — verb + particle together
A phrasal verb is a verb + a small word (called a particle). Together they create a NEW meaning that is different from the two words alone. For example: LOG + IN does not mean a wooden log going somewhere — it means to enter a system. You must learn phrasal verbs as a complete unit.

Mia
LeoLeo! Quick, I need your help. I'm trying to sign up for the weekend tournament but the form is broken.
Try to log out first and then log in again — the system often glitches when you have been online too long.
That worked! Form is loading now. Should I sign up for the solo bracket or the team bracket?
Team up with me and Kai — we need a third player. The team bracket has much better prizes and honestly you are strong enough for it.
Okay! Done — I am registered. Can I join in in your practice session tonight?
Absolutely. We start at eight. We need to power up our gear before the first round — the other teams are seriously well equipped.
I need to level up my armour rating before then — I am still two grades below the recommended level for the tournament.
You have two days. Focus on the XP maps tonight and you will level up at least once, maybe twice if you push hard.
What if one of our team members drops out? It happened to us last time and we forfeited the round.
Kai has never dropped out of a tournament in three years. I trust him completely. See you at eight — do not log out before we are done with practice.
