Phrasal verbs are usually two-word phrases consisting of:

verb + adverb
or
verb + preposition.
Easier way to learn phrasal verbs

• Think of them as you would any other English vocabulary.

• Study them as you come across them, rather than trying to
memorize many at once.
• Use the list below as a reference guide when you find an
expression that you don't recognize.
• The example sentences will help you understand the
meanings. If you think of each phrasal verb as a separate
verb with a specific meaning, you will be able to remember it
more easily. Like many other verbs, phrasal verbs often have
more than one meaning.
The list
 USAGE
The phrasal verbs and the
normal verbs have the same
meaning, but the phrasal
verbs are much more
informal. Native speakers
wouldn’t use the normal
verbs in conversation very
often. For example, if you  1 get over – recover
say: “Remove your shoes,  2 put up with – tolerate
please,” it sounds much too
formal! On the other hand,
 3 go up – increase
phrasal verbs might not be
 4 pick up – collect
appropriate in formal written
 5 take off – remove
English, for example in a
formal letter or in a business
report.
