Welcome to the Cutting Edge Advanced Phrase builderl
One of the biggest challenges for the advanced learner lies in understanding and using phrasal verbs, idioms and other colloquial expressions. The Cutting Edge Advanced Phrase builder has been specifically designed to help you refine and extend your knowledge of these important areas of vocabulary.
What does the Cutting Edge Advanced Phrase builder contain?
Each module of the Phrase builder is linked to the corresponding module of the Cutting Edge Advanced Students' Book and contains:
• a list of phrasal verbs from the module, with definitions and example sentences, followed by a practice exercise.
• a list of idioms from the module, with definitions and example sentences, followed by a practice exercise. The broad definition of 'idiom' here is any word or phrase where the meaning is not 'transparent' or literal.
• a list of miscellaneous phrases and collocations from the module, with definitions and example sentences, followed by a practice exercise.
• a practice exercise for the Useful Language box related to the Task in each module. These exercises involve either matching two halves of a phrase or choosing the best way to complete a phrase.
When should I use the Cutting Edge Advanced Phrase builder?
Each module of the Phrase builder is designed to be used when you have finished the corresponding module of the Cutting Edge Advanced Students' Book. You can do the exercises in class or for homework. A full answer key is provided at the back of the Phrase builder.
How can I develop my knowledge further?
The Cutting Edge Advanced Phrase builder features a wide selection of phrasal verbs and idioms but the list it contains is by no means definitive. To develop your knowledge further, you should refer to other monolingual dictionaries such as the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, the Longman Dictionary of Phrasal Verbs and the Longman Dictionary of Idioms.
