What is a Phrasal Verb?

Please note
A phrasal verb is a verb combined with a preposition.
The preposition can add extra meaning to the verb or
give it more emphasis.

Examples:
Could you switch off the light,
please?
I need some water to cool down.
Back off! I have a knife and Im not
afraid to use it!

Learning Phrasal Verbs

Please note

Learning phrasal verbs can be difficult because:

- They must be memorized.

- Sometimes a phrasal verb can mean something totally different

from the words that are combined to form it. (EX. Break Up)

- The meaning of adverbs, prepositions and verbs can also mean

something different in a phrasal verb than they would if they
were alone.
