How many verbs about cooking
do you know?
Here are four.
First, bring the sauce to the boil.
'Bring to'.
If you bring something to the boil,
then you heat it up until it bubbles.
Remember to put the direct object
before 'to'.
Now, mix in some herbs.
Using a spoon to combine the herbs
with the sauce is called mixing in.
Then set aside to cool down.
Two verbs here.
'Set Aside' means 'to move
something away from where you
are working and leave it alone'.
If you cool something down,
its temperature reduces.
These last three are phrasal verbs.
You can either put the direct
object in the middle of
the verb or at the end.
So you can bring things to the
boil in a pan, mix them in
with a spoon and set them aside
by a window to cool down.
