Готовимся к тестированию. Предлоги. FCE Use of English

Если присмотримся к теме предлогов и фразовых глаголов в исполнении серии книг как FCE Use of English, то мы увидим, что в них эта тема даётся более обширно, чем это требуется для успешной сдачи централизованного тестирования по английскому языку. На наш взгляд, переходить к FCE UoE независимо от редакции стоит лишь после ознакомления с этой темой в рамках реальных требований ЦТ.

Не полный список предлогов и фразовых глаголов

Вот, что предполагается выучить, если мы ограничимся словами на первые три буквы алфавита:
