13. Part 1: Phrasal Verbs
Phrasal verbs are the combination of a verb with a preposition resulting in a big change in meaning e.g. "bring" means to take something with you whereas "bring about" means to make something happen.
They can be difficult to remember because their meanings are not clear from the words.
