Phrasal Verbs

Write down 2 phrasal verbs

What are Phrasal Verbs?

• A phrasal verb is a verb like pick up, turn on or get on with. 
• These verbs consists of a basic verb + another word or words. The two or three words that make up a phrasal verb form a short "phrase" - which is why we call them "phrasal verbs". 
• But a phrasal verb is still a verb. Look is a verb. Look up is also a verb - a different verb. They do not have the same meaning, and they behave differently grammatically. You should treat each phrasal verb as a separate verb, and learn it like any other verb. 

Adverb particle

Most common adverb particles used to form phrasal verbs are: 

about - across – ahead – along – (a)round – aside – away – back – by – forward – in – off -down – on – out – over – past – through – up

 E.g.: bring in / go around / look up / put away / take off

Preposition or adverbial particle

Adverbial particles and prepositions often have the same function, but the difference is that an adverbial particle can stand alone without a following noun (phrase) or pronoun, like adverbs. 

Which sentence has the adv. particle...

It’s dreadfully cold outside the house.

...And which one has the prepostion?

Don’t stay outside – come inside! 

Sentence with prepostion

It’s dreadfully cold outside the house. 

(prepostion = followed by a noun)

Sentence with adverbial particle

Don’t stay outside – come inside! 

(Stay outside is the phrasal verb, with outside being the adv. particle)

a) He looked up the word in the dictionary.

b) He looked up the chimney.

c) She looked back and said good-bye.

d) Looking back, I regret what I said.
