What is a phrasal verb?

A phrasal verb is a combination of a verb and one or more particles (prepositions or adverbs) that together have a different meaning than the individual words. The particle can change the meaning of the verb, creating a new expression with a unique definition. Phrasal verbs are commonly used in English and can be idiomatic, meaning their meaning may not be easily deduced from the individual words.

A phrasal verb is a verb that is made up of a verb and one or more prepositions or adverbs. The meaning of a phrasal verb is often different from the meaning of the verb on its own.

For example, the verb "take" can be used on its own to mean "to grasp or hold something." However, when it is used with the preposition "off," it takes on a new meaning: "to remove something."

Here are some other examples of phrasal verbs:

- break down (to collapse)
- call off (to cancel)
- check in (to register at a hotel)
- drop off (to deliver someone or something)
- fill out (to complete a form)
- get up (to stand up)
- look after (to take care of someone or something)
- put on (to wear something)
- take off (to remove something)
- turn down (to refuse something)
