This document provides an overview of phrasal verbs in English. It defines phrasal verbs as verbs combined with particles, which are usually prepositions but function differently. Particles can change the meaning of the verb. Phrasal verbs are more common in everyday speech than one-word verbs. Transitive phrasal verbs take objects that can come before or between the verb and particle. Intransitive phrasal verbs do not take objects. Care must be taken with pronouns as objects of transitive phrasal verbs. Examples are provided to illustrate usage.
