Phrasal verbs are a combination of a verb and one or more particles (prepositions or adverbs) that together create a new meaning. For example, “turn off” means to stop the flow of something, such as turning off a light or turning off a faucet. Other examples of phrasal verbs include “look up,” “give in,” “take off,” and “put up with.” Phrasal verbs are commonly used in English and can be challenging for non-native speakers to learn because the meaning of the verb can change depending on the particle used.
