Phrasal verbs :
A phrasal verb is a phrase made up of two or three words: a verb combined with an adverb or a preposition, or a verb combined with an adverb and a preposition. Phrasal verbs are very common in English , and their meaning may be quite different from the meaning of the ordinary verb, eg you may know the individual meanings of the words make and off, but you may not be able to guess that to make off means “to leave or escape “ . Some phrasal verbs have the adverb or preposition following immediately after the verb, as in „He owned up“ and „He looks after the children “; others have the object of the verb placed between the verb and the other parts of the phrasal verb, as in „He laid the book down“.
