UppInt/Adv: Tips for learning Phrasal Verbs

How can we remember phrasal verbs?  Here are some suggestions...

 
-Write down phrasal verbs as a single unit/word when you learn them
-Note whether or not they are transitive or intransitive (takes an object or not)
-Note what common subjects and objects that this phrasal verb is used with
-Write down examples/situations that are common with this phrasal verb 
-Think about opposites or single-word verbs with the same meaning
-Consider grouping them either according to particles (e.g. UP, OUT, DOWN), grouping them under the verb (e.g. GET, TAKE, PUT) or grouping them by theme (relationships, work, home, travel etc.)
