Can you use more than one phrasal verb to say the same thing? Absolutely! In this important advanced vocabulary lesson, we’ll look at 5 phrasal verbs and their synonyms. For instance, did you know that you can “put off” OR “push back” a meeting? You can also “cut down” or “cut back” on something – they mean the same thing. This lesson also includes synonyms for “stop by,” “mess up,” and a slang equivalent for “turn up,” as in “turn up the volume.”
