Hi Brian,
Unfortunately, some answers that are very easy for native speakers are not that easy for non native speakers. Especially phrasal verbs , which are ,to some extend ,idomatic phrases, so if I haven't heard a particular phrasal verb used in a certain context and my dictionary doesn't have the meaning I'm looking for than i have no idea which ph.v. is correct.

You have made clearly the sentence, I think it's easy for you , a native but for the others are very difficult.I always have a lot of trouble to use preposition. If you don't explain I have never understand take to is take a liking to , to have developed an affection for.To take out an insurance policy is to start a new insurance policy. Really, two- word- verb is a great problem!

Hello Phungninhbao
Yes, two-word-verbs are not easy for people learning English! There are many of them in English. On behalf of all native speakers I apologise for this! And each one has a different meaning. It is almost impossible to guess the meanings! Even if one sounds similar to another, the meaning will probably be totally different!
