- Remove ⇒ Come in and take off your coat.
- depart, go, leave, split (slang), disappear, set out, strike out, beat it (slang), hit the road (slang), abscond, decamp, hook it (slang), slope off, pack your bags (informal) ⇒ He took off at once and headed home.
- do well, succeed, thrive, flourish, progress, boom, prosper, have legs (informal), turn out well ⇒ He met her in 1944, and his career took off.
- Learn phrasal verbs and dependent preposition not as grammar rules but as "chunks" of vocabulary e.g. depend on, look for, fluency/fluent in, responsible for, in charge of, a good knowledge of, to learn on the job.
