They can have a literal meaning but often have an idiomatic meaning that is different from the literal sense. There are four main types of phrasal verbs based on their structure. Phrasal verbs can be transitive, taking a direct object, or intransitive. With transitive phrasal verbs, the particle and object can be separated except when the object is a pronoun. Phrasal verbs exercises involve identifying their structure and completing sentences with the appropriate phrasal verb form.

Reported speech
There are two ways to report what someone has said: direct speech and indirect speech. Direct speech uses the exact words of the speaker, while indirect speech conveys the meaning without using the exact words. When changing direct speech to indirect speech, certain changes must be made, such as changing verb tenses, pronouns, adverbs of time and place, and question forms. Different reporting verbs are used depending on whether a statement, question, command, or other structure is being reported.

Direct speech uses the person's exact words, while indirect speech conveys the meaning without using their exact words. When changing direct speech to indirect speech, certain changes are usually made, such as changing verb tenses and pronouns. Questions and commands also require specific changes, such as changing the question structure to a statement and changing the introductory verb for commands. Different reporting verbs are used depending on the structure, such as "say" for statements and "ask" for questions.
Relative clauses
This document discusses defining and non-defining relative clauses. Defining relative clauses provide essential information about the subject or object of the main clause. Non-defining clauses provide extra information and are separated from the rest of the sentence by commas. Relative pronouns like who, which, and that introduce relative clauses and their usage depends on whether the clause is defining or non-defining. The document also covers reduced relative clauses and the use of what in relative clauses.
Conditionals
Conditional clauses have two parts: the condition (if-clause) and the result (main clause). There are four main types of conditional sentences:
1) Zero/present conditional for real situations that can happen at any time.
2) First conditional for likely future events using present tense in the if-clause and will in the main clause.
3) Second conditional for unlikely or imaginary situations using past tense in both clauses.
4) Third conditional for impossible past situations using past perfect in the if-clause and would have in the main clause.
