Now let’s talk about phrasal verbs….
I know what you’re thinking: What’s a phrasal verb? It’s a combination of two (or sometimes three) words that acts like a verb in a sentence to describe an action. Using the two words together gives the phrase a new meaning that each word alone does not have.
Let’s take break down as an example. Alone, each word has its own meaning, but together they indicate something different. Break down actually has two common meanings: first, it means to stop working (“The car broke down!”). Second, it means to become upset, such as when we say someone “breaks down in tears.”
So now you know what a phrasal verb is. There are hundreds of these combinations in English, let's have a glance over some of them😃😃
🏵Phrasal verbs🏵
🌈Come from: to originate or be born in.
“Where do you come from?”
🌈Do up: to attach a piece of clothing using buttons, laces, or a zipper.
“He can’t do up his own coat or shoes yet, he’s only two.”
🌈Drop in: to go somewhere without announcing or planning it. (Also drop by or drop over.)
“We can drop in on her while we’re in town.”
🌈End up: to reach something or somewhere, eventually or by accident.
“We ended up all the way at the end of the subway line!”
🌈Figure out: to find the answer.
“Can you figure out what two plus two equals?”
🌈Find out: to discover a secret or something you did not know.
“I found out how old the teacher is!”
🌈Get away with: to not be punished for doing something wrong.
“How did he get away with not doing his homework?”
