Phrasal verbs app
Phrasal verbs app: practise 1,300+ with spaced repetition
Looking for an app to learn phrasal verbs? Sink In teaches them by particle pattern and drills them with spaced repetition — built for B1–C2 learners and exam prep.
Sink In — iOS & Android
Get Sink In
Practise 1,300+ phrasal verbs by particle pattern, with spaced repetition that fits in a coffee break.
- Learn the pattern behind dozens of verbs at once — not one-off translations.
- Spaced repetition (SM-2) brings each meaning back right before you forget.
- Four practice modes train recall and discrimination, not just recognition.
There are plenty of apps that show you phrasal-verb flashcards. Sink In is built around a different idea: that phrasal verbs make sense once you see the pattern behind the particle — and stick once you practise them with spaced repetition.
It is made for intermediate to advanced learners (B1–C2) and for IELTS, Cambridge, and TOEFL candidates who need phrasal verbs to come out naturally, not just be recognised on a page.
1,300+ verbs, 25 particles
The whole system is organised by particle pattern, so verbs that look unrelated line up into meanings you can actually remember.
Spaced repetition (SM-2)
Review only what you are about to forget. No deck management, no add-ons — just a short daily session.
Made for exams
Tuned for B1–C2 and IELTS / Cambridge / TOEFL, where phrasal verbs lift your vocabulary score.
What is inside
1,300+ phrasal verbs organised by 25 particles, each anchored to a short motion mnemonic and a bridge sentence so the particle’s meaning stays visible.
Every meaning comes with natural example sentences, paraphrases, and the contrasts learners most often confuse.
How you practise
A short daily session, scheduled by an SM-2 spaced-repetition algorithm, brings each meaning back right as you are about to forget it.
Four interleaved modes — recognition cards, particle cloze in context, meaning-to-particle, and schema match — train both recall and the discrimination between similar verbs.
Who it is for
Intermediate and advanced learners who are tired of phrasal verbs feeling random, and exam candidates who need them to be automatic under pressure.
If you have bounced off long lists before, the particle-first approach is designed to make the whole set feel connected instead of endless.
