Phrasal verbs

Nice, I failed to answer one question about "hostile" dog Smile and I guessed that one with "push on". I see how many phrasal verbs are in English and sometimes I think I can't learn even a minority of them, not to mention lion's share. The more I learn the more successful I stand to win. Smile

great

thank you Chris for these new PHRASAL VERBS.
