When is it a phrasal verb? When the second word is part of the whole verb meaning. Usually the phrasal verb has a different meaning than the words by themselves Example: She’s looking up at the sky. She’s looking up a new word in the dictionary. Which of these sentences has a phrasal verb?

When to use them: Phrasal verbs are less formal than regular verbs Often times we use phrasal verbs in slang speaking Shut up! Get out!

Two kinds of phrasal verbs: Transitive: - use an object in the sentence - can separate the two words with the object - can be written together or separate Examples: Turn off the faucet. Turn the faucet off. Turn it off
