PHRASAL VERBS
2. PHRASAL VERBS
• A phrasal verb is a combination of a verb and preposition, a verb
and an adverb, or a verb with both an adverb and a preposition.
• A phrasal verb has a meaning which is different from the original
verb. That's what makes them fun, but confusing. You may need
to try to guess the meaning from the context, or, failing that, look
it up in a dictionary.
• The adverb or preposition that follows the verb are sometimes
called a particle. The particle changes the meaning of the phrasal
verb in idiomatic ways.
• They are also known as ‘compound verbs’, ‘verb-adverb
combinations’, ‘verb-particle constructions", “two-part
words/verbs’ and ‘three-part words/verbs’ (depending on the
number of words).
