to cancel She called off the wedding.Do phrasal verbs make any sense?
If you analyze them logically, no.. but let’s try to find some logic...
The meanings of phrasal verbs aren't immediately obvious, for example:
+ Tom broke up with Jenny.
+ Torn separated from Jenny.
We know that Tom didn’t break Jenny into small pieces, he stopped being her
boyfriend. This is an example of a phrasal verb not being directly linked to the
meaning of its main verb.
However, sometimes with phrasal verbs we can work backwards to understand the
logic of them. Breaking something does not have to be completely physical, it can
also be figurative. The idea is that you are breaking a bond between someone.
Because of this meaning, we can also use to break up to mean:
- Separate people from fighting: | had to break up a fight.
- A poor connection: | tried to call her, but the line kept breaking up.
At first glance, you may not see a link between to break and to break up, but when
you work backwards and think figuratively, the meaning becomes clearer.In this dictionary the International
