Phrasal verbs

A phrasal verb is a phrase that’s made up of a verb and another word or two, usually a preposition. One verb can make many different phrasal verbs, depending on the preposition.

Try to think of each part literally (or spatially)

• Example: Hang out; hang in; hang up; hang around; hang on
• Example: Look into; look out for; look up to; look around
