  • 'Bring to'.

  • If you bring something to the boil, then you heat it up until it bubbles.

  • Remember to put the direct object before 'to'.

  • Using a spoon to combine the herbs with the sauce is called mixing in.

  • Then set aside to cool down.

  • Two verbs here.

  • 'Set aside' means 'to move something away from where you are working and leave it alone'.

  • If you cool something down, its temperature reduces.

  • These last three are phrasal verbs.

  • You can either put the direct object in the middle of the verb or at the end.
