Phrasal verbs - What did you do last Saturday?


The following text contains 10 highlighted phrasal verbs. Your task is to match them to the correct definitions.
On Saturdays I always have to get up early for work but last Saturday I woke up late, around 9am and then got up 30 minutes later.
The first thing I did is switch on the coffee maker. No instant coffee for me today! I took the time to make some good coffee. While that's getting ready, I quickly threw on some clothes and picked up a newspaper from the local shop.
With my coffee and paper, I spent the rest of the morning on the sofa. I turned off my phone for a couple of hours so no one called me.
Later in the day, I liked to hang out with friends over lunch and catched up with their news and gossip. It's always nice to drive out to the countryside for a pub-lunch in a quiet English pub.
In the evening I stayed in and watched some TV or, depending what's on, I checked out a film in the cinema.
All in all, that's my idea of a good day!
