Content

Phrasal verbs are special types of verbs that consist of a main verb and one or more particles (typically prepositions or adverbs). They have meanings that are different from the individual words used in them. Let me explain a few examples to help you understand:

1. “Turn off”: It means to stop the flow of something, like switching off a light or closing a faucet. For example, “Please turn off the TV before you leave.”
2. “Look up”: This phrasal verb means to search for information in a reference book or on the internet. For instance, “I need to look up the meaning of this word in the dictionary.”
3. “Break up”: It refers to ending a relationship or separating into smaller parts. For example, “They decided to break up after five years of dating.”
4. “Take off”: This phrasal verb means to remove something quickly, like taking off a piece of clothing or leaving a place in a hurry. For instance, “It’s hot in here; I’ll take off my jacket.”
5. “Put on”: It means to wear or place something on your body. For example, “Don’t forget to put on your coat; it’s cold outside.”
