Phrasal verbs
Unit 9
Lesson 1
Definition
• Phrasal verbs are multi-word expressions commonly used in English that
consist of a verb and one or more particles (typically adverbs or
prepositions). These particles can significantly alter the meaning of the
verb, creating new idiomatic expressions with unique meanings. Phrasal
verbs are widely used in both spoken and written English, and mastering
them is crucial for understanding and producing natural-sounding English
sentences.
• Phrasal verbs can be separable or inseparable. In separable phrasal verbs,
the particle can be placed either before or after the object in a sentence.
For example, in the phrasal verb "turn off," you can say, "He turned off the
TV" or "He turned the TV off." In inseparable phrasal verbs, the verb and
particle are always together and cannot be separated. For instance, in the
phrasal verb "look after," you can only say, "She looks after her younger
brother" and not "She looks her younger brother after."
Phrasal verbs examples.
• Look up: to search for information in a reference source or online. Example: I need to
look up the definition of that word in the dictionary.

broke down on the way to work this morning.

clients for next Monday.
More examples.
