 What is a phrasal verb?

Phrasal verbs are combinations of verbs with an adverbial or prepositional particle. They can initially seem
deceptively easy, as students might be familiar with both the verb and the particle, but may find that they don’t
understand the meaning of the combination, as it can be very different to the meaning of the two words when they
are used independently of each other.

 Why are phrasal verbs important?

Phrasal verbs are very common – they appear in all areas of English, from business English and academic English
right the way through to informal, spoken English. Using phrasal verbs correctly makes your English sound
natural and fluent and they occur so frequently in English that students need to master them if they are ever going
to progress.
