This document discusses phrasal verbs, which are verb phrases composed of a verb and a particle such as an adverb or preposition. Phrasal verbs take on a meaning that is different than the literal meaning of just the verb. It is important to pay attention to the particle that follows the verb to avoid misinterpretation. Several examples of common English phrasal verbs are provided such as "come back," "carry on," "call back," and "drink up," along with sample sentences to demonstrate their meanings.
