👔 Horizon: Phrasal Verbs & Their Formal Twins
Second lesson of the register module. Learners pair twelve everyday phrasal verbs with their one-word formal twins (find out → discover, put off → postpone, call off → cancel, put up with → tolerate…), learn the separability grammar that the twins do not share, and practise choosing phrasal or twin by audience. In the story, the crew pairs a 24-card deck, battles through a twin-snap tournament, and Sam sends the group chat a message — “The party has been postponed 😭” — that Coach Deniz declares a tie worn with pyjamas: grammatically perfect, socially impossible.

Key Vocabulary
Grammar Points
- A phrasal verb and its one-word twin share meaning, not register: put off → postpone, find out → discover, carry out → conduct
- Separable phrasal verbs allow both orders with a noun (call the match off / call off the match), but a pronoun must go in the middle: call it off, never call off it
- Three-part phrasal verbs are inseparable: put up with it, never put it up with
- Formal twins behave like ordinary transitive verbs and pair naturally with formal structures: The excursion has been postponed / Visitors are requested to sign in
