Correct verb

Quite easy, without mistakes.
I only confused with usage of "shop on". I knew "shop for", "shop around".
Could anybody explain if it has the same meaning as "shop for"?
Thank you in advance.

RE: Shop

Just to summarise.

'Shop around' means to to find the best price for an item by looking for it in different shops.

'Shop for' means to buy something for someone or to buy a thing. e.g.
'I need to shop for food' (buy food)
'My father is difficult to shop for', it is difficult for me to buy presents for my father / I don't know what to guy my father.

'Shop on', in the exercise, is not a phrasal verb. 'Shop on weekends' simply means to go shopping on the weekend.

Chris

"on" is a preposition in the

"on" is a preposition in the sentence it is not a particle.

A phrasal verb is made up of a verb and a particle.
