•phrasal verbs
📍Part 1⃣
#grammar


Phrasal verbs are very common in English, especially in more informal contexts.

📖 They are made up of a verb and a particle or, sometimes, two particles. The particle often changes the meaning of the verb.

For example :
🖌I called Jen to see how she was. (call = to telephone)

🖌They've called off the meeting. (call off = to cancel)


🔎More examples:

🖌I'll pick you up from the station at 8 p.m.
(pick up = collect someone in a car or other vehicle to take them somewhere)

🖌Who came up with that idea? 
(come up with = think of an idea or plan)


🖌I came across your email when I was clearing my inbox. 
(come across = to find something by chance)

🖌The caterpillar turned into a beautiful butterfly. 
(turn into = become)

🖌It was quite a major operation. It took months to get over it and feel normal again. 
(get over = recover from something)

🖌We are aware of the problem and we are looking into it. 
(look into = investigate)

👉🏻There are no rules that might explain how phrasal verbs are formed correctly - all you can do is look them up in a good dictionary and study their meanings.
