Now letβs talk about phrasal verbsβ¦.
I know what youβre thinking: Whatβs a phrasal verb? Itβs 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.
Letβs 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 (βThe car broke down!β). Second, it means to become upset, such as when we say someone βbreaks down in tears.β
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 themππ
π΅Phrasal verbsπ΅
πCome from: to originate or be born in.
βWhere do you come from?β
πDo up: to attach a piece of clothing using buttons, laces, or a zipper.
βHe canβt do up his own coat or shoes yet, heβs only two.β
πDrop in: to go somewhere without announcing or planning it. (Also drop by or drop over.)
βWe can drop in on her while weβre in town.β
πEnd up: to reach something or somewhere, eventually or by accident.
βWe ended up all the way at the end of the subway line!β
πFigure out: to find the answer.
βCan you figure out what two plus two equals?β
πFind out: to discover a secret or something you did not know.
βI found out how old the teacher is!β
πGet away with: to not be punished for doing something wrong.
βHow did he get away with not doing his homework?β
