Introduction to Phrasal Verbs

Phrasal verbs are combinations of a verb and one or more particles, which together have a different meaning than the individual words. They are common in everyday language and often used in both spoken and written English. Understanding phrasal verbs can help improve comprehension and fluency, as they often convey idiomatic expressions that are not directly translatable. For example, 'give up' means to quit, and 'run into' means to meet unexpectedly. Recognizing these can enhance your reading and writing skills.
