“WHETHER YOU THINK

YOU CAN, OR YOU THINK


YOU CAN’T, YOU’RE
RIGHT”

Henry Ford.
Hi there!

Welcome to my “Top 150 Must-Know Phrasal Verbs” ebook.


This book is jam-packed with the most useful phrasal verbs in
the English language, including diagrams and examples in
context.

Did you know that there are over 200,000 phrasal verbs in the
English language? Yes, 200,000! That’s a lot right? We use them
all the time and let’s face it, they don’t really make any logical
sense and this makes them difficult to learn and use correctly.

To make your learning easier and more enjoyable, I have


compiled together right here the phrasal verbs that I think are
the most useful and the most common to give you a head start
with real English (You know, the English that natives use).

So what is a phrasal verb?


“An idiomatic phrase consisting of a verb and another element,
typically either an adverb, as in break down, or a preposition,
for example see to, or a combination of both, such as look
down on.” (Oxford Languages)

Why do you need to know them?


Phrasal verbs are important because they are extremely
common in informal English, and unless you are familiar with
their meanings, understanding informal language will be
difficult. In addition, learning to use phrasal verbs correctly will
help you sound natural in casual conversation.
