What Are Phrasal Verbs?

Phrasal verbs are verb phrases that consist of a main verb followed by one or more particles (prepositions or adverbs). For example, "look after," "get up," and "run out of." They can change the meaning of the original verb in ways that are sometimes difficult for learners to guess.

• Look after – to take care of someone or something.
• Run out of – to have no more of something.
• Give up – to stop trying.
• Take off – to remove something or to leave the ground (for planes).
• Put off – to postpone or delay.
