A phrasal verb is a combination of two or more words, usually a verb and preposition, which acts as
one word.
The meaning of the phrasal verb is different to the meaning of the words when separated. For
example, to "get away" means to go on holiday, which is different from the meaning of the word
"get"on its own.
Phrasal verbs are common in both spoken and written English, so we should practise them as often
as possible.
