Common English Phrasal Verbs
Phrasal verbs are a type of multi-word verb in English that consist of a base verb (such as "run," "take," or "get") combined with one or more particles (such as adverbs or prepositions). The combination of the base verb and particle(s) creates a new meaning that may be different from the meaning of the base verb alone.
For example, the phrasal verb "run into" means to meet unexpectedly or by chance, which is different from the meaning of the base verb "run" on its own. Phrasal verbs are commonly used in spoken and informal English, and mastering them is essential for effective communication in English.
