THEME THURSDAY: PHRASAL VERBS AS NOUNS (TAKEOFF): meaning and examples

Hello everyone, and welcome back! I hope your week is going well. 

For the month of March, our Theme Thursday focuses on Phrasal Verbs that can also be nouns. Last week we looked at the word BREAKTHROUGH. Today we are looking at the word TAKEOFF

We looked at the phrasal verb TO TAKE OFF in November. It means "to leave" or "to remove/subtract." Click on the link below to review that lesson:

As a noun, the meaning is slightly more specific

Definition: the moment when an airplane/helicopter leaves the ground. 

Example 1: After takeoff, the flight was a little bumpy. 

Example 2: They served drinks about 10 minutes after takeoff

That's all for today. As always, thanks for reading! We will see you tomorrow for a lesson on the phrasal verb TO BREAK FREE. Until then, have a great day!
