What are Phrasal Verbs ?

Phrasal verbs are two words that consist
of a verb with a preposition, for
example “look at”,“get up”...etc.
 These
prepositions are sometimes
called particles ( a preposition that can
combine with a verb to form a phrasal
verb)

Phrasal Verbs
A. Inseparable
Phrasal Verbs
When the
particle can be
in only one place
in the sentence.

B. Separable
Phrasal Verbs
When we can
change the
place of the
particle without
affecting the
sentence’s
meaning.
Example:
separable: I can turn on the radio/ I can turn the radio on
inseparable: I can look after him/ (and not "I can look him
after")

3-
With the phrasal verbs in the previous
group ,the particle does not change the
basic meaning of the verb. However, the
following group shows that there are many
verb+particle combinations in which the
particle changes the meaning of the verb.
The meanings of the two words together is
different from the meanings of the verb and
the
preposition
by
themselves.
* These verb+particle combinations have an
idiomatic meaning. They are different from
sentences with prepositional phrases.
* Compare the prepositions or particles in these
sentences below.
