Фразовые глаголы лучше учить в контексте, и чем больше контекста, тем лучше. Поэтому я подобрал для вас подборку из популярных сериалов и context reverso. Необязательно учить их все сразу, начните с тех которые вы уже слышали. Я не стал писать перевод к текстам, так как большинство фразовых глаголов изучается на B1-B2. Будучи на этом уровне, вы уже в состоянии перевести самостоятельно. Если все же нужен перевод, то пишите в комментариях. Ссылки на остальные части в конце ролика.
