Extract from a novel
Mary turned away, feeling relieved, and looked out of the window at the quietstreet below, bathed in bright sunshine, with the BGR company building in thedistance. She was surprised to discover that she?d no wish to leave yet,even though she was also rather embarrassed to be there. Through the window, shewatched an old woman dressed in a heavy coat and wearing a scarf, despite the heat.She was walking along the street with an elderly sad-looking dog with a bowround its neck. It was soothing to gaze out at the woman?s slow movements ? towatch her unfastening her heavy front gate, closing it behind her with fussy precision,
and then, halfway to her front door, bending with difficulty to pull up a weedfrom the narrow bed that ran along the entire length of her front path. As she did so,the dog waddled towards her unsteadily and licked her wrist. The lady and her dogwent indoors, and the street was empty again. It could be any Saturday.

Teacher’s advice
A This verb follows the basic pattern, so just add -ed to the infinitive for past simple or -ing for the present participle.
B Just drop the -e and add -ing to infinitives that end in vowel + consonant + e.
C When one-syllable verbs end in consonant + vowel + consonant, double the final consonantand add -ed or -ing.
D For infinitives that end in consonant + -y, change -y to -ied to make the past form.
 
A teacher is selecting sentences which exemplify different types of multi-word verbs for her class.
For questions 14-20, match the multi-word verbs in the example sentences with the different types of multi-word verbs listed A, B, C and D.
