Phrasal verbs consist of a verb and an
adverb (particle). Phrasal verbs are a very
important feature of everyday English language.
They are used in spoken and informal English,
and they are also in written and even formal English. Understanding and learning to use phrasal verbs, however, is often a problem and there are many reasons for this.
The meaning of the phrasal verb often has no relation to the meaning of either the verb or the particle which is used with it. This means that phrasal verbs can be difficult both to understand and to remember.
Also, many phrasal verbs have several different meanings.
We have made a some pages of examples to help
students better understand phrasal verbs.
