PHRASAL VERBS
A phrasal verb is a verb that is combined with a preposition, adverb, or particle. They are also known as idioms because they are used by native speakers and have connotative meanings.
Here are some examples of phrasal verbs:
Shut up, Look after, Pick up. Phrasal verbs are compound verbs, meaning they are made up of more than one word.
The meaning of the compound verb is idiomatic, meaning it cannot be derived from the dictionary meaning of its parts.
For example, "pick up" means to grab or lift, which is different from the definitions of "pick" and "up" alone.
Here are some steps for using a phrasal verb:
- Put the words together to form a phrase.
- Use it in a sentence.
For example, in the sentence "Tommy jumped out of the car," "jump" is the verb and "out" is the phrasal verb.
Here are some other examples of phrasal verbs:
Get on, Get off, Get up, Give in, Give up, Give out, Grow up, Hang out, Hold out.
