A phrasal can be defined in four easy ways.
(1) A phrasal verb
is a verb formed from two or sometimes three parts: a verb, and an adverb or preposition.
(2) These adverbs and prepositions are often called particles when they are used in a phrasal verb.
(3) Most phrasal verbs are formed from a small number of verbs
Ex , get, go, come, put and set and a
small number of particles
Ex , away, out, off, up and in.
(4) Phrasal verbs sometimes have meanings that you can easily guess
Ex , sit down or look for.
Although, in most cases their meanings are quite different from the meanings of the verb they are formed from.
For example, hold up can mean 'to cause a delay' or 'to try to rob someone'. The original meaning of
hold (for example, to hold something in your hands) no longer applies.
