Phrasal Verbs
Phrasal verbs are
mainly used in spoken English and informal texts. (The more formal a
conversation or text, the less phrasal verbs are found.)
Phrasal verbs
consist of a verb plus a particle (preposition, adverb).
The particle can change the meaning of the verb completely, e.g.:
§ look
up – consult a reference book (look a word up in a dictionary)
§ look
for – seek (look for her ring)
§ look
forward – anticipate with pleasure (look forward to meeting someone)
There are no rules
that might explain how phrasal verbs are formed correctly - all you can do is
look them up in a gooddictionary and
study their meanings. In our lists, you will find some frequently used phrasal
verbs and their
meanings.
Frequently Used Phrasal Verbs with:
Position of the Particle
The particle is
placed either after the verb or after the object.
Phrasal Verbs with 'get'
Complete the sentences.
Use each particle only once.
