1. Phrasal Verbs
8th
S. Chacon/ A. Borbor

2. What are they??
Phrasal verbs consist of a verb plus a particle (preposition, adverb). The particle can change the meaning of the verb completely

3. Examples
look up – consult a reference book (look a word up in a dictionary)
look for – seek (look for her ring)
look forward – anticipate with pleasure (look forward to meeting someone)

4. Why do we use them??
Phrasal verbs are mainly used in spoken English and informal texts. (The more formal a conversation or text, the less phrasal verbs are found.)

5. Very Important!
There are no rules that might explain how phrasal verbs are formed correctly - all you can do is look them up in a good dictionary and study their meanings.
