Short-answer questions

How to get the most benefit from these exercises:

Try to use the phrasal verb in your answer!

For example, question #2 asks “Who is a person that you really hit it off with?”

Don’t just answer, “My friend Nathan.” Instead, say (or write) – “I really hit it off with my friend Nathan – we met at a baseball game and discovered we had a lot in common.”

Why? Because actually using the phrasal verb will help you remember it better.

1. Write about a time when someone was hitting on you. How did you react?
2. Who is a person that you really hit it off with?
3. How did your previous relationship end – why did you break up?
4. What should a couple do if they begin to drift apart, but they want to save the relationship?
5. What is one thing (or one type of person) that you will NOT put up with in a relationship?
6. Do you think it’s possible to save a relationship after one person cheats on the other?
7. At the moment, are you enjoying the single life, or are you interested in settling down? (Or have you already settled down?)
