このデッキについて

Phrasal verbs are the point where advanced learners still sound wrong. Not because the meanings are hard to look up, but because each one carries a grammar rule that no dictionary entry makes obvious. You can turn the lights off or turn off the lights, but you can only turn them off — never turn off them. You look after a child, and you can never look a child after. Get away with takes its object after both particles. Learn the meaning without the pattern and you will produce sentences that are understandable and audibly non-native. This deck covers 300 phrasal verbs. Every card gives the meaning, states in one line whether the verb is separable, inseparable, intransitive or three-part, and shows an original sentence with the object in its correct place. Cards are tagged by that grammatical type and by theme — work, communication, relationships, money, travel, problems, daily life — so you can drill only the separable ones, or only what an office day needs. Import it and the deck joins your spaced-repetition schedule, and what stays in rotation is the set whose word order you still have to think about.

よくある質問

Does importing this deck use my AI allowance?
No. Importing uses the saved deck as published; it does not run AI generation or use your AI allowance. The complete deck can therefore be imported on the free plan.
What happens if I import the deck twice?
Nothing is duplicated. Cards you already have are skipped and only newly added cards come across. Including re-imports after deleting, each official deck can be imported three times per account.
Can I use it on the web app and the phone app?
Yes. The deck is added to your account, so the same cards and the same progress are available in the web app, the iOS app and the Android app.
Can I edit the cards after importing?
Yes. Imported cards are yours: you can edit both sides, delete cards you do not need, change tags, and move cards to another deck.
What is in the deck?
124 separable verbs, 50 inseparable verbs, 94 intransitive verbs and 32 three-part verbs, 300 in total. One phrasal verb per card, so nothing appears twice.
Why does separability matter so much?
Because it is the one thing you cannot guess and cannot avoid. With a separable verb a pronoun object must go in the middle: turn it off, not turn off it. With an inseparable verb it must not: look after them, never look them after. Get it wrong and the sentence is ungrammatical, however good your vocabulary is.
What about verbs with several meanings?
The card carries the meanings that share the same grammar, separated by a semicolon, so you learn them as one item rather than as unrelated cards. Where a second sense behaves differently enough to need its own pattern, it is written into the meaning line rather than split off, keeping one phrasal verb to one card.
Which exams is this useful for?
Phrasal verbs appear across IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, Cambridge B2 and C1, and every business English test, because they are how fluent English actually talks. The deck is organised by grammar and theme rather than by exam, so the same 300 verbs serve whichever one you are sitting.
