Phrasal Verbs

What are phrasal verbs?

Simply put, they are short two word phrases which include a verb. What's significant about these phrases are that the verb takes on a completely new meaning once latched on to a preposition or an adverb.

For example - the verb 'break ' would mean one thing while the phrasal verb 'break down' would mean something totally different. The same is true for phrasal verbs like 'wear out' something or 'take after' someone.
